For people looking for a relaxing slow-paced puzzle game where aliens are constantly trying to murder you, this game is worth a look. Or, if you’re not part of that specific niche, Professor Lupo is a solid puzzler, if you don’t mind playing in the Switch’s handheld mode.
However, I don’t want that to be taken as me saying DQB2 is a bad game – far from it in fact. What we have here is an excellent title with truly addictive mechanics and some fun exploration. It’s just missing that “shock to the system” quality that the original...
If anything, it feels like the game was rushed to market. SolSeraph was announced just two weeks before its release date, and much of the game itself feels like it needed more time spent on it. Modernizing such an intriguing game as ActRaiser is a noble idea, but SolSeraph really...
Overall, Gato Roboto is a fun little action game with a bit of exploration that doesn’t do all that much gameplay-wise to stand out from the pack. However, I don’t want that to be taken in a bad way; this game is a perfectly solid and entertaining experience, and I...
Is this a great game for visual novel newcomers? Probably not. Having an entire half of the game focused on mostly boring slice-of-life isn’t doing the game any favors in hooking in genre newbies. Those that are fans of this format, those who go in knowing what to expect, will...
While I can’t say I like that the game feels like it’s hiding its true conclusion behind future DLC, the package that we have right now is still damn fun to play through. If you’re not averse to some over-the-top violence, Katana Zero is definitely a game worth checking out.
I can say that this is a musou game that I’ll actually go back to after this review is done…which, I believe, is a hell of a seal of approval for a game in this genre. Here’s hoping the next inevitable entry in the Extra/Extella series steps it up even...
If you were intrigued by the Vita version but held off on playing it, Overdose is obviously the best way to go about it. There’s enough cleaned up here for really hardcore JRPG fans to take a look, and I can’t really say that this is a bad game not...
Aside from that, though, I can see bringing out Dead or Alive 6 again as more of a party fighter than anything else. There’s not much here to train you up to pro level without really putting in the time to study the game, but the basic functions are easy to pick up...
There’s been well-documented controversy concerning the PC release of this game, but putting all that aside, Metro Exodus is definitely a game worth the space on your hard drive. With nary a dull moment, and plenty of suspense in both story and gameplay, this is an experience well-worth checking out.
With that, I feel that I can still recommend this game despite its flaws. I mean, the key reason to play a game is entertainment, right? While Arcade Spirits may not meet my personal metric for “great visual novel,” it was still a highly-enjoyable game, and I would say it’s worth...
At $7.99 at the time of writing on the Nintendo Store for around two hours of gameplay, it’s not too bad of a deal. If you’re in to purposefully difficult and frustrating games, Necrosphere may be worth a look. However, its faults hinder it from being held up with the...
