It’s that sort of depth that makes Fe’s story so affecting, even if it seems quite straightforward and even predictable on the surface. I saw every twist from a mile out, and yet I never felt like the story suffered as a result. Rather, Fe is a fairy tale: the...
Ultimately, the “gameplay” stuff isn’t really relevant to what Mulaka is, or wants to be. First and foremost, this is designed to both preserve the story of a native peoples, and then share it with others, so that they might learn something about a culture they may well have never...
Zwei! The Arges Adventure is a lovely little title from Falcom that I am very happy was localised after the success of its successor. If you’ve been been needing some lighthearted dungeon crawling or have already played the localised sequel and want to know how the series began, than you’ll...
In short, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an incredible achievement, and the latest in a growing body of games that really push the bounds of what the medium can do. It is, at its heart, a game about stories, and the incredible power that they have, brought to...
Otherwise, Immortal Redneck is a blast of a game in a genre that we don’t see enough of. It’s not the first roguelike FPS that we’ve seen on PlayStation 4, and I wouldn’t say it’s the best, either. It does, however, have an exceptional aesthetic, clever level design, clean action,...
Despite the issues with balance, juvenile moments in the writing, and the occasional bug that suggested the ambition of the game slightly overextended its budget, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is the best video game entry in this particular franchise. The basic gunplay is dynamic and enjoyable, and I prefer...
Ultimately, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is proof that bigger isn’t always better. The additional gameplay mechanics only get in the way of how fun the original was, and makes the screen a busy mess at times. The saving grace is that the Switch version of the game is perfect...
So this won’t be remembered as a particularly good remake, and it’s tragic, because by itself, outside of the shadow of the game it’s a remaster of, Secret of Mana has its charms. What it is good to see is that Square Enix continues to invest in these small scale...
But for every positive thing that Kingdom Come does with its storytelling, setting, and themes, it then lets itself down with childish writing, and then doesn’t help itself out by being so ambitious that, even beyond the bugs, the game has structural issues that are difficult to ignore. I wish...
Tesla vs Lovecraft is enjoyable enough for what it is: a simple, energetic twin-stick shooter fat doesn’t push any boundaries but gets most of the fundamentals right. At the same time, there’s so much untapped potential in the idea of Lovecraft/Tesla crossover, and that leaves me wanting so much more...
It’s never fun to play a game that’s so fundamentally uninteresting that you really struggle to even watch the screen as you’re playing. Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy is a painfully generic and completely forgettable action JRPG, and there’s just so much better stuff out there that deserves a port to...
These are very minor complaints or simply ways that I could see the future of Dynasty Warriors continue to evolve from here. And that’s only when I’m sitting back and thinking about the game critically. When I’m actually playing it, all that I find to be important is just how...
