Unfortunately, Lego Bricktales crashed on me a good few times. Sometimes this would reset my progress to before the most recent build, which could be anywhere from 5-30 minutes of time. Hopefully, this is easy to patch, as it puts a real damper on the whole thing. Once in a...
It’s unfortunate, as the concepts present are pretty awesome. Diving deeper and deeper into the Abyss, with status ailments affecting you as you go up in larger portions, and trying to gather as much as you can could all lead to a great game. For as oversaturated as the market...
The world and aesthetic of Soul Hackers 2 is brilliant. Taking place in a stagnant future where everything is subtly hopeless but delightfully neon, the game doesn’t feel especially far-removed from our own reality. Seeing the different characters all manage this rough future – especially with the potential apocalypse that...
The sound design is excellent, with plenty of bumping tracks and sound effects from throughout the Gundam franchise. There’s even a very cool feature that allows you to upload your own music tracks into the game to play at various points, meaning you can use any songs you want to...
The theming throughout the different stages is varied and fun. From beaches to funhouses to the far reaches of space, Pac-Man explores all sorts of environments, all of which feel like their own biome thanks to the numerous different types of music and distinct level layouts. The hub world is...
It wouldn’t be a Xenoblade game without an absolutely incredible soundtrack. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 features yet more brilliant music and delightfully impassioned voice acting. There’s a level of quality here that you won’t find in many other games, even of the AAA variety, which makes the game’s earlier-than-announced release even...
The art in Digimon Survive is quite sharp, evoking a more mature sensation than most of the more friendly and expressive anime series. Both styles are excellent, but this one better suits the more consistently harsh and almost oppressive atmosphere that Digimon Survive comes to use. It helps that the...
The English voice acting was a pleasant surprise, as it’s very spirited and fitting for each time period. The accents and enthusiasm sell the majority of the performances, though it’s easy to skip through dialogue if it’s not your thing. The music is similarly excellent, encompassing the feel of each...
The art style is colorful and pleasant to look at, suitably presenting the world of Escape Academy as a funky and almost comically escape-focused place. The sound design is the same, making it very satisfying to press buttons, use electronics, and fumble with objects. The voice acting is solid enough,...
The content included in Disgaea 6 Complete is what you’d expect from a “complete” package. All the DLC characters and colors are available, with classic characters like Disgaea 3’s Mao and Disgaea 5’s Killia being included alongside Hololive v-tubers if you’re that kind of weeb. It’s a pretty strong collection...
Visually, Sonic Origins is quite sharp. It helps that the pixel art of each game has held up well, but it’s the new animated intros that truly stand out. These slick-looking cutscenes give a little extra context to the story, and look damn good while doing it.
The art style is excellent, and the new character designs are just different enough to remain recognizable and still look new and cool. The music is excellent, as one should expect from anything related to Fire Emblem. There are remade tracks from Three Houses as well as the main Fire...
