The voice acting in Past Cure is flat and poor. No matter the situation, every character sounds as though they’re filing their taxes, even in a firefight. The wooden writing is made worse by the sheer lack of emotion present in every character’s voicework, which makes the story even harder...
I was pleasantly surprised with how memorable the soundtrack is. A lot of the songs have a very upbeat joyousness to them, with tones reminiscent of PS2-era RPGs. The battle music is suitably exciting, even if it can become somewhat repetitive. While the voicework (which is entirely Japanese) is exceptional,...
Dissidia NT’s soundtrack is flawless, which makes sense since it’s made up of the best songs from the entire Final Fantasy series. Both remixes and original tracks are abundant, with plenty of tracks being unlockable through play. The voice acting, for the most part, is rather impressive. Each character sounds...
The music in Supercross is forgettable. The soundtrack is primarily made up of ambient rock music that comes off as more generic than anything. The sound effects are realistic, and the voice acting (by the previously mentioned commentator) is good enough. The volume levels are odd though, as music will...
Monster Hunter: World
The sound front is a bit more mixed. The score is simply gorgeous in every regard, particularly thanks to its use of an orchestra. From the most epic of battle themes to the most whimsical exploratory tunes, Monster Hunter World has an incredibly varied soundtrack full of exciting and atmospheric...
In what seems to be a trend for Digimon games, the sound design in Hacker’s Memory is fantastic. The music, which jumps between weird digital beats and smooth, jazzy detective jams, is fun to listen to and in some cases quite memorable. The sound effects are strangely satisfying, as they...
Dragon Ball FighterZ
The music and sound effects are as strong as the visuals, with many sounds being lifted straight from the show. Every beam blast and teleport sounds incredibly satisfying, while the energetic soundtrack, made up of everything from hard rock to jazz, feels perfectly in-line with the corny action that has...
A Hat in Time has fantastic music and voicework. Alongside the previously mentioned stand-outs, essentially every NPC has their own voices, often of YouTube/NewGrounds alumni like Mick Lauer, Josh Tomar and Jon Jafari. It’s cool to hear recognizable voices from around the internet, and none of the voices feel shoved...
The Last Frontier is a visual bugfest. While models sometimes look quite realistic and impressive, these decent examples are few and far between. Textures pop in far too late, and sometimes they don’t even render. At one point in the game I could see the rig of an ape model,...
The voice acting in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 isn’t particularly good. Characters like Captain America and Thor sound stiff, as the actors were likely instructed to stick close to the MCU depictions of these characters. I don’t really get Marvel’s aversion to voice acting continuity either. For example, Rocket...
The sound is as accurate as the visuals, with guitar twangs and light tunes that are straight out of the show. The character voices, almost entirely provided by series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, are flawless. Every character sounds exactly as they should; whether it’s Butters’s adorable innocence or...
The music in Nights of Azure 2 is the best part of the game, as each song brims with atmosphere. There’s a gothic feeling that permeates the majority of the soundtrack, making it feel pleasantly grim. I found the majority of the game’s songs to be catchy and worth listening...
