That first glimpse of the Sicilian countryside in Hangar 13’s Mafia: The Old Country is a gobsmacking moment, with those distant mountain ranges and crumbling ruins framing the pastoral splendor of busy vineyards and dirt roads. It’s a land populated and maintained by ruthless dons and humble peasants alike, supporting...
While there are avenues in which players can optimize their bookshop, I was never tempted to min-max in the way I often can with many games in the genre, such as Stardew Valley, while playing Tiny Bookshop. Making money does move things forward in some ways, allowing for better decor...
Anybody who cut their teeth on the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy should feel those reflexes return after a few hours with Ragebound. Nuanced aspects of those NES games reveal themselves, like memorizing the precise distance of your sword slash or enemy knockback, especially those designed to casually nudge Kenji into...
Tales of the Shire
There’s no way to progress individual relationships outside shared meals, so if players focus more on the main story, milestone cutscenes between characters later on become odd. After spending weeks being integral to the village campaign, I got cutscenes with my neighbors about how I’d just arrived and that they...
There's also no shortage of risk-reward elements, and leaning into specific offensive capabilities tends to come with interesting costs. A frequent build-up of Madness makes you take more damage from enemy attacks, but it also opens up plenty of opportunities in your skill tree, giving you a greater chance to...
Hell Clock
Hell Clock’s isometric view might make it appear like a twin-stick roguelite, but the game is all crunchy numbers under the hood. You start off with ten available skills, which can be configured into any of up to five active slots. Mixing these abilities soon reveals synergies, along with accumulated...
This freedom is even the case for specific level mechanics, including brightly colored goo that can be destroyed to create objects in a different space. You can interact with the game as intended, or spice things up and try to go at it a different way with a power-up/form, or...
College Football 26's Ultimate Team mode continues to be what it was in last year's game, and has been in Madden for years: a polarizing grind with a monetization problem. For some, the grind of Ultimate Team mode is appealing, and I can understand the general appeal of climbing the...
At any given time, it feels as though there are a million resources you’re falling short on, storage that’s quickly reaching capacity, and not enough hands to go around for all the work that needs to be done. Unfortunately, it was occasionally more overwhelming than it was enjoyable, even on...
Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is very much its predecessor's sequel, being a direct continuation of the story and adapting its gameplay systems wholesale, but it does make an effort to improve on the novelty and excellence of Death Stranding. The bizarre, post-cataclysmic delivery game deconstructs some...
The game is primarily split between bouts of combat, demon maintenance, and exploring each cloistered region for NPC chatter and the occasional bonus quest, or “case.” Those scare quotes are intentional, since the bulk of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army’s side quests are one-off blips which barely...
Each of the five stages comes in three clearance levels, starting with a tutorial version and progressing to two additional iterations. While all three clearance levels of a job start in the same area and present the same basic objective, each one unlocks a new door to continue deeper. Firebreak's...
