I love a good challenge every now and then, but I don’t mind being able to coast as I please and feeling powerful to destroy foes to boot. For that, Yohane’s little adventure offers a fun journey through a weird labyrinth with funky, eldritch-looking monsters. An easy recommendation for the...
The Last Faith
The music is great, as are the sound effects. The mix on both can be off, with music cutting off outright when you transition between areas. A simple fade in and out would keep it from being so constantly jarring. When it’s playing though, the soundtrack is fantastic. Proper bombastic orchestral...
It’s not going for a realistic or beautiful art style. It’s a functional one, focused on the task at hand. That being, of course, destroying buildings so you can perpetrate a heist. One of my favorite missions to try and 100% was one where I had to dump six cars...
Speaking of which, you’ll die quite a few times during the witching hour sections. These sections are short, trial-and-error sequences that’ll test your ability to scavenge and not get hit. Honestly, these sections were not my favourite. They’re not difficult and the game provides plenty of extra material and save...
Roboquest
The music is good, which is great because there’s not a ton of it. You’ll hear the same songs often as it doesn’t change up a lot in each area. They are pleasant bops that match the frenetic pace of the combat without getting in the way or being annoying. ...
Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is one of the better games in the franchise’s history. The combat mechanics are solid and questing can be fun, plus it’s good fan service. It’s a bit of a shame every other aspect drags the game down, but that won’t stop you from enjoying...
In an interview with developers at RGG Studio, they revealed that Gaiden was originally conceived as a DLC to Infinite Wealth in the same way Lost Judgment had The Kaito Files. They decided to make it a standalone entry and were working on it at the same time as Infinite...
Ultimately, DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing gets the job done without excessive amount of effort. There’s more than enough content, but the quality of the racing and its general balance is just not on par with most of the better Mario Kart clones out there, let alone the last episodes of...
Unlike other Croteam titles, Talos 2 does not have any backup saves nor does its reset function actually reset your position. The game is also built to keep you out of where you should not be, almost to a fault, and so I unfortunately spent a good 30 minutes trying...

The Invincible
The Invincible is a great game, full of wonderful storytelling and choices that feel impactful. The narrative suffers a bit near the end, but it’s an easy game to recommend to any genre fan. The gameplay is enjoyable, Regis III and everything on it is gorgeously realized, and it is...
