Visually, Disjunction is quite impressive to look at. The pixel art is detailed and full of style, as it nails the harsh tone of 2048’s New York. Even the less-detailed character sprites during gameplay tell you everything you need to know about the characters, from their posture to the way...
I’m fully confident in saying that the soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim is one of the best in the entire industry. Composed and performed by chiptune band Anamanaguchi, every track is memorable and absolutely bopping. It evokes the nostalgia of a retro soundtrack while taking advantage of modern audio quality to...
Even without these unlockables, there’s still plenty of charm to First Contact. The sprites for each character are full of unique personality, and the chibi style works quite well with the character designs of Fatal Fury. The stages are similarly pleasant, as is the catchy music that accompanies each stage....
Visually, Super Meat Boy Forever is as charming as the original game, and a bit smoother on top of that. The old-school Flash style is still present, with Flash lines and the same character designs that you’d expect to see, but it all looks cleaner and smoother. The music is...
Battles look a lot nicer in Final Fantasy Legend 3, and flow much more smoothly. Enemies and the player characters are all represented on the screen, and the game remembers which options you choose in each fight. The varying sprite sizes and the amount of detail make the game feel...
Temtem
Temtem looks great, as its vivid and lively colors make its world feel exciting and adventurous. The creature designs for the various Temtem are quite well-done, as there’s a lot of creativity put into how they look. With the wide variety of creatures that are eventually presented to players, everyone...
Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate
Finally, there’s the visuals, which are gloriously gory on the PS5. The native 4K resolution makes every bloody attack feel that much more visceral while looking better than ever. The load times are wonderfully brisk compared to the previous generation load screens, which I always appreciate greatly. Throw in the...
Visually, Melody of Memory is a bit strange. It uses the PS2/PSP models for most of its characters, except in the end. It makes sense in a way since this isn’t a main title, but I would have liked to see them use the sharp Kingdom Hearts III models throughout....
Despite having such a simple visual style, Astro looks great. The clear water on the Cooling Beach looks sharp and gorgeous, as do the various weather effects and backgrounds of each stage. Throw in some very catchy music that is themed around whatever level you’re in, and you have some...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Visually, Like a Dragon is stunning to look at. The faces look vividly realistic, which makes the over-the-top goofiness even better. The costume designs for each job are a lot of fun, as are the NPCs in each substory. The voice acting is excellent in both languages, though I prefer...
Like Man of Medan, Little Hope is gorgeous to look at. The character models are naturally the spitting-image of their actors, while for the most part, the performances are spot-on. There are some rough performances throughout though, alternating between hammy and wooden lines here and there. It adds a certain...
I like the new visual style for Origin, and the blood effects are suitably over-the-top. The voice acting is fittingly hammy, jumping between melodramatic shouting and overly serious delivery of silly lines. Further adding to the B-movie charm is the very inconsistent lip-syncing. Characters cut each other off to the...
