Vacation Odyssey has a charming visual style that hammers home how cute the mascots of Bubble Bobble are. The bubbles are all clearly defined colors, which helps to make each shot feel fair and informed. The backgrounds are great too, as the chill beaches and tropical locales really sell that...
And the soundtrack? Oh, the soundtrack. Each episode of the game is capped off with a song as you stare at the game’s logo, and these are some of the most poignant parts of the game. The songs fit beautifully, and add a certain something to Alan Wake that just...
Now The Good Life isn’t the most visually stunning game of the year, but it has a certain pointy style to it that I can appreciate. The characters and locales are distinct, the animals are adorable, and the backgrounds are fairly scenic. The voice acting in The Good Life is...

The music for each stage is fine and fits each theme, but the lack of voice-acting is a major misstep. These are some of the most colorful and hyperactive characters in the animation industry, so not hearing them say anything or make any form of noise while battling isn’t just...
The music in Banana Mania is exactly what you would want from a Monkey Ball game: energetic and silly. Every time you boot up the game, a lady yells “SUPER MONKEY BALL,” and it really gets you ready to get your monkey ball to the goal. The visuals are cutesy...
Lost Judgment looks incredibly sharp, especially on the PS5. Faces have subtle details like stress lines and wrinkles that make the characters look remarkably realistic, all while avoiding the uncanny valley. The voice acting in both languages is quite strong, though I find myself gravitating towards Japanese dubs for this...
Deathloop’s 60’s-inspired aesthetic is nothing short of mesmerizing. On the surface, the four main areas are quite similar, but they set themselves apart with the various themes of each. The frozen tundra of Fristad Rock is quite different from the vertical and residential area of Updaam. The areas even change...
Gamedec looks quite sharp, though it could use a bit more character art. The environments perfectly sell the feeling of being in a slimy but highly advanced future, while the character portraits give off a lot of personality for each character. I do wish that there were more portraits, as...
The art and sound are delightful, as should be expected from a WarioWare game. Everything looks colorful and weird, which is admittedly a good way to describe WarioWare in general. The art is clean, sharp, and gives the variety of wacky characters some additional flavor. The music for each stage...
The voice acting is top-notch as well, with many incredible voice talents, actors, and actresses lending their voices to Psychonauts 2’s characters. Richard Horvitz, as always, knocks it out of the park as Raz, but the whole cast really deserves to be commended. There’s not a single voice that felt...
The music in Sonic Colors: Ultimate has been largely remixed, and I’m a fan of most of the tracks. Themes for areas like Planet Wisp and Tropical Park were already strong in the original release, but the variations in each level this time around have some good energy and are...
