As can be expected from this series, the voice acting is on-point. Jennifer Hale gives Rivet a great deal of personality, and James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye are perfectly at home voicing the iconic pair again. Armin Shimerman is essentially the entire reason that Dr. Nefarious is so fun...
None of the games are perfect, but they hold up well for the most part and are still incredibly fun to play. The Master Collection makes it possible for a new generation to give these classics a go, and it does so with style. Keep in mind that there are...
The music of Strive is absolutely stellar, as each character has a banging rock theme that accompanies them. The lyrics can be nonsensical, but the rhythms get you hyped for every match. I can’t wait to submit “Smell of the Game” for the best song in this year’s GOTY discussions,...
The music is very energetic and almost aggressively exciting, which is a good fit for the tone of World Brothers. The voice acting is especially suited to the game, as it’s as hammy as one could hope for in a B-movie inspired game like this. Some of the silliest lines...
The music of Nocturne HD is great and suits the game’s chaotic nature; the problem with it is that some of it is horribly compressed. Battle themes and the level-up theme all sound like they were recorded off of a mid-2000’s cell phone. It’s noticeable in the worst way, and...
Village looks gorgeous, which means the vile abominations look shockingly realistic. From Ethan’s bloody hand to Moreau’s ghastly appearance, everything looks incredible, which adds to the slowly building tension throughout the game. Environments are as creepily barren and haunting as can be, while the blood effects are just real enough...
The visuals of New Pokémon Snap are quite impressive, as the Pokémon look and move in ways that feel natural, despite their status as fictional animals. You really believe that you’re on a safari or theme park ride filled with wild animals, as they graze in the background or get...
The Final Word NieR Replicant is a brilliant game despite its tedious sidequests. The characters and world of Replicant are instantly memorable and enjoyable to follow, while the music and environments suit the harsh story perfectly. I wish there were better side-quests and a bit more variation in playthroughs, but overall,...
I was quite impressed with the visuals of Oddworld: Soulstorm, as you can almost feel the grime layered on everything. It’s a great looking game that takes advantage of its creative and weird artstyle and amplifies it on the PS5. I love the designs of the different species as well,...
I’m quite impressed with what Rise is able to pull off visually, as it’s quite intricate for a game on the Nintendo Switch. In both handheld mode and docked mode, I found the locales to be expansive and easy to remember after a few visits. The scale of each area...
There are some impressive bonus features in the NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection as well. You can switch between NeoGeo Pocket Color and non-Color systems, Japanese and English versions of the games, and you can look at 3D replicas of the game cartridge and the case it came in. You can...
The colorful visuals and upbeat soundtrack are strong points of the game, though I think some voice acting might have given the characters a bit more personality. There are plenty of catchy songs throughout the game to keep your head bopping as you harvest crops, which is an important feature...
