The sound in The Woolies Strike Back is straight out of a lazy app from the Google Play Store. Droning and “wacky”, the tunes are some of the least memorable I’ve ever heard. I can’t remember a single one, I only remember how grating they were. Then there’s Bubsy’s voice,...
The sound in Gundam Versus is just as exceptional as the visuals. Every laser blast and mech explosion is sharp and over-the-top, perfect for the arcade-y feeling that Versus has. The voice acting for all the different characters is great as well, as their melodramatic yelling and exclamations really sell...
On the audio front, The Enigma masterfully mixes together the themes of previous Batman incarnations, much like the first season did. Sometimes the soundtrack feels like it came straight from The Animated Series, while other times will feel more Arkham or Dark Knight-inspired. I hope this trend continues and evolves...
On the sound front, Shadow of Mordor is quite well-done. The voice work is exceptional, especially for Orc captains. It would be easy for these orcs to blend together if they had identical voices, but they’re given enough variation to give each captain their own personality. My favorite voice would...
Cuphead
Cuphead’s sound perfectly emulates the big band feel of the era it pays homage to. I watched some classic cartoons before playing Cuphead to really compare the game’s aesthetic to, and the soundtrack immediately reminded me of jazz master Cab Calloway, whose best-known cartoon work was likely Betty Boop. The...
On the audio front, Lego Ninjago is nothing spectacular. The music is largely forgettable, and the sound effects are the same ones you’d hear in any other Lego game (the sounds of building items out of Lego is still as satisfying as ever). The voice acting is alright, but it...
A big part of why I love Marvel vs Capcom so much is because it feels like an explosive celebration of both companies and the worlds they’ve crafted, a feeling that is almost entirely absent in Infinite. Rather than a celebration, Infinite feels like a promotion for upcoming movies and...
Peach Beach Splash has quite a fun soundtrack, full of uppity J-pop songs and excited summer jams that make you ready to take on the hordes of anime girls in front of you in aquatic combat. The voice acting is well-done, with the more enthusiastic characters standing out the most....
The voice work is exceptional, with each actor very clearly giving their role all they’ve got. The ominous but lazy Ultimate Magician Himiko sounds bored but slightly off-kilter, while the Ultimate Anthropologist Korekiyo has a voice that is as smooth as butter, but as intimidating as Hannibal Lecter’s. The actors...
The sound in Unlimited World is energetic and full of passion. The music sounds like it would fit into the anime perfectly, with epic orchestrated scores that help give the New World a sense of scale that fits the adventurous world of One Piece. The voice acting is unsurprisingly perfect,...
Warriors All-Stars
In terms of sound, All-Stars has decent music and stellar voice-work. Some of the high-energy tunes stick with you due to the excitement they evoke in-game, but the majority of the score is just that, a score. The voice work is excellent however, with extra kudos going to Koei for...
Yakuza Kiwami
Kiwami has top quality voice acting and fitting music, typically delegated to being a background score. Outside of karaoke, the music isn’t overly memorable. It’s fitting when used and can greatly elevate a scene however, so the memorability isn’t a major issue. The voice acting is nothing short of excellent,...
