Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z could have been something special with its eight-player battles. Prior games have been all style and no substance and unfortunately the latest is more of the same, possibly even less thanks to its bare-bones presentation. If you’re a huge fan of the iconic anime looking for even more fighting action — and you have friends who are willing to fork out the cash to join you online — there is some enjoyment to be had. For everyone else, aside from the increased multiplayer, you’ve already played this before.
In the end I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised with Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. It’s a game full of wonder and magical moments, that while light on actual narrative, still delivers a world that is hard to forget. The visuals are Pixar-esque charming and the combination of cerebral puzzles with thrilling action offers up a bite-sized experience that is a welcome addition to the Xbox One’s library. If you’re looking for a change a pace, I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to finish off this gaming year.
The Guided Fate Paradox may not have the most engrossing story, and at times, it can roll at a snails pace when in full swing, but its overall attention to the little things is what makes it one of this year’s surprises. You’ll die, you’ll cry, you may even reboot some saves ad nauseam, but that’s the sadistic charm of a great roguelike — a game that may not be for everyone, but one that offers enough addictive carnage for veterans and newcomers alike.
