Town of Zoz has a lot of great ideas and incredible presentation, but the overall stilted flow of combat stymies what could be a top-notch indie gem. Regardless, the positives are numerous here and worth experiencing, so long as you’re open to a somewhat challenging combat system.
KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is a fast-paced, cozy cooking game that blends a sharp anime aesthetic with pleasant writing to create a rather unique title. I ran into a little stuttering here and there, but the game itself is probably the most fun you could have cooking bizarre noodle combinations for...
Super Meat Boy 3D is an overall tight adaptation of the iconic Team Meat platformer into the squishier third dimension. The visual style loses some of its unique Flash edge in the transition to 3D, but the stages themselves retain the teeth-clenching challenge and goofy humor that made Super Meat...
The Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a top-notch gathering of Mega Man DS games that never fully got their due. The games themselves are great, the remaster features are fantastic upgrades, and the bonus content is delightfully informative. If you never played the Mega Man Star Force games,...
Damon and Baby has some endearing qualities and decent gameplay at its core, but its repetitive nature and a few clunky mechanics keep it from being a truly grand AA game. The core gameplay and world are intriguing, but they can’t quite make the game truly stand out.
We’re only two and a half months into the year, and Pokémon Pokopia has already made an incredibly strong case for Game of the Year. The simulation and crafting elements ride the perfect line between easy to grasp and challenging to maximize, the Pokémon themselves are delightful to collect and...
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an immensely frightening and cleverly designed horror game, slightly held back by a couple of clunky aspects. Even so, the ingenuity behind the core concept and the freaky aesthetic go a long way in making this a very worthwhile remake.
Scott Pilgrim EX takes a different approach than the previous Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up, which works in some ways and feels a bit stiff in others. Despite the slightly wonky format, the aesthetic and gameplay are excellent, and there are lots of fun nods for fans of the source material to...
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties does lose a few things in the process of remaking the underrated Yakuza 3, but the added content and more refined combat system make this a thoroughly enjoyable installment in the series. The story changes are a bit confusing, but being able to play...
Mario Tennis Fever stands out as a delightful tennis game, even to someone as uninterested in sports games as myself. A bit too much of the story mode is a very slow tutorial, but the plethora of match types to try and the rock-solid core tennis gameplay make this a...
Super Bomberman Collection is a top-notch gathering of several Bomberman games that offer small but intriguing differences between one another. Whether you’ve played these titles before or not, the bounty of bonus features and interesting inclusions make it a rather fine collection.
My Hero Academia: All’s Justice has some ambitious ideas for an arena fighter, though they’re executed with mixed results. As a My Hero Academia 3D fighting game, All’s Justice is rather enjoyable and features an impressive roster – it’s just the singleplayer campaigns that struggle more, thanks to some peculiar...
