Licensed tie-in games have come a long way since the shovelware garbage we use to get back in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s. Still, these types of games remain a bit of a mixed bag. For every good licensed kart racing game, like Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2...
The Talos Principle is one of those games that the entire staff at WayToomManyGames unanimously loves. Its brilliant combination of philosophical storytelling and challenging puzzles made it a unique experience, especially when you consider the fact this thought-provoking game was created by the same team behind the not so thought-provoking...
The Sword Art Online games have always been ambitious for anime tie-in games. A proper open-world party based action RPG, a far cry from the usual arena fighter or turn-based JRPG. Even though this ambition was never fully delivered on, it was always fun and contextually impressive. Alicization Lycoris was...
Quantum Error
Ahh, Quantum Error. You piqued our curiosity back in 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal showcase. In the three years since, your devotion and passion never wavered. You kept the candle burning, you kept everyone up to date, you dropped the occasional (un)intentional console war fodder, you retweeted, and you...
I love the Metal Gear Solid games. It was love at first sight after playing my first game at the age of seven. Ironically enough, it wasn’t Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation 1, but actually Ghost Babel, that one phenomenal spinoff released for the Game Boy Color. I then...
Rune Factory fans are eating well this generation. Not only have we seen the release of Rune Factory 5 finally, but Rune Factory 4 and now Rune Factory 3 have gotten remakes. These 3DS and DS exclusives respectively have managed to make their way to the Switch, and in 4s...
I’ve never been the biggest fan of sci-fi, preferring fantasy due to the fantastical elements. It’s odd for me to say since, out of my four perfect scores, two belong to Nier. I was, and still am, hugely smitten by that pair, especially those characters. Speaking of, those found in...
Wonder is the sense of amazement or admiration that comes from something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamiliar. When we use the word, we often attribute it to the celestial sights, or to a child’s first experiences, however benign. It’s a word thrown around too easily with the adjective “wonderful”, and the...
There are lots of aspects of Japanese pop culture that I struggle to understand, but none of them puzzle me like the sheer popularity of the Hello Kitty brand. Sure, it’s cute, and anyone can doodle it, but for it to be worth eight billion dollars (2014 numbers), is just...
Telling me that there is a game out there trying to emulate the look and feel of the collectathon platformers from the Nintendo 64 era is like telling a moth there is a lovely neon light in the vicinity; you have my curiosity and my attention almost instantly. In these...
It’s well documented to the point of being a meme that licensed games from the 90s were their own special kind of hell. As fondly as we look back at The Lion King, Aladdin or even Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, we can easily now find evidence that we were...
The original Hot Wheels Unleashed was one of the biggest surprises from 2021. No one, myself included, expected a lot from a licensed Mattel racing game coming from a developer mostly known for really competent, but newcomer-unfriendly motorcycle titles. That game shut me and everyone else up, being massively entertaining...
