So there are some neat little features to the newest Mega Man. However, while it’s the kind of game that series fans should enjoy, there just isn’t enough to bring it to a new audience. It’s great that Capcom haven’t forgotten about its iconic mascot, but it’s hard to shake...
It’s the spirit of these works that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey eagerly mimics, with Spartans throwing shields willy-nilly, an irreverent disregard for naming conventions, and moments that wouldn’t feel out of place in Thor: Ragnarok. Its focus on the dust and dirt of mercenary life in Greece instead of the clinical...
If there’s one takeaway to be had from the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, it’s that genre-themed compilations aren’t the best way to repackage these classic titles. Capcom’s earlier attempts, such as the PSP’s Capcom Classics Remixed and Reloaded would scatter in a few brawlers in a package of 20...
I’m sorry for comparing the two titles so often, but I’m sure I wasn’t alone in my hesitancy that Dontnod could recreate the magic of the first. However, just one episode in, I’m certain that magic has returned, both familiar and different in the best way. The characters are relatable,...
NHL 19 is not a perfect game – but for hockey fans it is pretty darned close. Sure, there are some awkward animations and commentary moments and I would love to see something of a story baked into the experience, but it is astounding to me how this series has...
There’s just too many uncertainties about the game, whether it’s the availability of certain game modes on a rotation (not all multiplayer modes are accessible for some reason), matchmaking failing to take into account the defined roles that the game forces you to adopt, and the fact that its engagement...
Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn’t as good as the original reboot, but feels more like a complete package than Rise of the Tomb Raider offered. Peru is represented beautifully, and with some jaw dropping landscapes coupled with very detailed character models, Tomb Raider remains an immersive adventure with just...
If you have a strategy itch, Frozen Synapse 2 is a great way to scratch it. There are some obvious comparisons to be made to the excellent XCom series, and that is great company to be keeping, but Frozen Synapse 2 still manages to to be its own unique experience...
The world class presentation, excellent execution of modes and gameplay mechanics really do make NBA 2K19 the best sports game around. It is also clear that big investments were made by the development team to improve the engine. Loading has been a slow, annoying issue for years and to NBA...
Senran Kagura Reflexions has actually done a lot of damage to the series. If the developers of it had set their sights on this being the series’ equivalent to Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, then it has been a resounding failure. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is an equally hyper-casual...
If you’re looking for a hidden RTS gem on the Switch, CastleStorm is unfortunately not going to change much for you. It’s a perfectly serviceable game with a lengthy campaign and plenty of customisation, but it lacks defining mechanics that inspire or excite players. It’s as if the game’s ultimate...
