Samurai Shodown
The visuals of Samurai Shodown are sharp and distinct, with a suitably Japanese style emanating out of everything, from the characters to the background. The (optional) blood adds a lot to combat, as it adds some striking and gory color to combat with each slash. The character designs in Samurai...
Trover Saves the Universe
Finally, I’ve got to give credit to Trover for its visuals and music. Roiland’s iconic style is on full display in Trover, with crazy colors and odd shapes everywhere. Every alien world feels like a completely new and fascinating place– even when you’re platforming on giant flesh nodes and teeth....
Team Sonic Racing
Team Sonic Racing has an amazing soundtrack that’s chock-full of stellar remixes of classic Sonic tunes. I’m a sucker for Rooftop Run, no matter what game it’s in, and the remix and track in Team Sonic Racing based on that stage are top-notch. The same goes for the Seaside Hill-based...
In addition to all these titles, there’s a digital book that shows off art and concepts from the included titles. The best part has to be the in-depth interviews with all sorts of different staff members from the franchise as well as the Netflix series. The book offers some real...
Visually, Paws on Fire is incredibly average. The animations in the opening cutscene are unpolished, but models look fine in gameplay for the most part. Stages feel fitting and don’t distract from gameplay, and enemies come in more varieties than just “woolies” this time, which is refreshing. The music can...
Mortal Kombat 11
The visuals of Mortal Kombat 11 are fantastic, with special attacks and ridiculous gore that has never looked better. A couple character faces are a bit disorienting, but the vast majority of Mortal Kombat 11 looks incredibly impressive. The music is fittingly intense, and the remix of the movie’s theme...
Visually, Iron Rain is a mess. The framerate stutters more often than it runs smoothly, and completely slows down the game at points. The camera gets stuck on the surrounding bugs sometimes when they’re a bit too close, the models clip and jump all around, and having too many enemies...
The visuals of World Mission are rough. The character models have very little expression whatsoever, making them look stiff and robotic. They look good in action, as they strike dynamic poses and shoot flashy and colorful energy blasts. It’s when they’re standing still and speaking in cutscenes that their models...
Every Buddy looks quite good for an updated Wii game, as its colorful and cartoony visual style translates to the current generation rather well. The music is primarily made up of remixes of classic Final Fantasy songs, which is a fantastic touch. A good chunk of the main Final Fantasy...
One Piece: World Seeker
The visuals in World Seeker are completely fine. The cel-shaded style compliments Eiichiro Oda’s iconic artstyle quite well, and the special attacks and super moves all look as flashy as they do in One Piece. The orchestral music is great as well, as is the always-stellar voice-acting. I do wish...
Left Alive isn’t terribly ugly or particularly nice-looking, outside of its mech designs. I’m a sucker for mechs and robot suits, so I found the hulking mechs to be a highlight of the game, as they look great and are fun to use on the rare occasion where you get...
I like that Back in the Groove has updated with current times without losing its original style, which is exemplified through the design of this game’s Earthlings. Earthlings have always been heavily-parodied versions of stereotypes like the way-too-tanned tourist or the obnoxious nerd, so seeing those characters alongside new archetypes...
