The visuals and sound in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends are great, as they’re perfectly in-line with the innocent and cheerful tone that the game emanates. There’s a comfortable sense of homeliness in 4 Friends, largely thanks to the nighttime bedroom setting and the soft colors. Alongside various remixes of the...
Visually, One’s Justice 2 looks great for the most part. The models on the main menu have very little shading, which makes them look a bit eerie, but in gameplay, they look much better and are quite expressive. The destructible environments look straight out of the show, as do the...
Visually, Yakuza 5 Remastered looks incredible. Characters look impressively lifelike for a game from 2012, and the huge environments are a joy to explore. Combat is better than any of the titles released before Yakuza 5, which could only be improved with the introduction of the Dragon Engine in Yakuza...
Visually, A Hero Nobody Knows is half-baked. Some characters, like Saitama and a good chunk of the side-heroes, look great and identical to their anime counterparts. Nameless NPCs, monsters, and quest-givers can look pretty wonky, as they don’t fit in with ONE/Yusuke Murata’s style. That, and they just look generic,...
Granblue Fantasy: Versus
Multiplayer works moderately well, though I had some lag issues here and there while facing off against other players online. If RPG Mode and multiplayer aren’t your thing, there are also various combo challenges for each character. It’s fairly standard stuff, but it’s fun enough and it serves as a...
Rune Factory 4 Special
Finally there’s the “Order” system, which focuses on improving the town through your royal decrees. Using Prince Points that are gained through doing pretty much anything, you’re able to host various festivals, expand your inventory and crafting systems, bring new stores to town, and much more. Performing Orders gives you...
The visuals are suitably cartoony, which amplifies the strange tone and ridiculous gameplay. When your teeth are falling out while your eye rotates all over and your nose shoots oil all over, Speaking Simulator feels like a surreal [adult swim] fever-dream.
Kakarot mostly excels in the visuals department, perfectly recreating iconic Dragon Ball scenes and panels in a vivid and colorful manner. The particle effects on the many energy-based super attacks look fantastic, as does the battle damage that each area takes throughout a battle. The music is fantastic as well,...
Visually, Ambitions is disappointing to say the least. The character models have an off-putting style to them, and would feel more natural in a mobile game or an IMVU banner ad. There’s something unsettling about their eyes and expressions, which is what you’ll be seeing the most through the various...
The visuals and sound in Cross Rays are excellent, as every animated attack is dynamic and exciting to watch. Each unit plays music from their original series, though you can also set custom music if you prefer different tracks. Seeing Barbatos plow through an opponent with its mace while music...
Shenmue III
Shenmue III’s visuals serve as an excellent evolution for the distinct style of the first two titles. It’s a pleasing mix of cartoonish colors and almost realistic qualities. It’s the settings that really stand out though, with the colorful fields of flowers in Bailu Village and the lit streets of...
Romancing SaGa 3
The visuals of Romancing SaGa 3 are excellent, as it features some exceptionally detailed sprite work. Characters and enemies are all distinct and well-designed, Bosses are slightly animated through tweening, which makes them feel more special and imposing. The music is top-notch as well, as could be expected from a...
