So yes, exploring the Veiled Sea feels at parts as archaic as some of the relics you'll find buried in its sands (that's when you don't find the third watering can in a row), and I don't feel like the 'modern' additions add that much excitement to the original formula....
As things are, I'd only recommend this to lovers of the originals for nostalgia and fan service alone, and with a couple of caveats at that. If you're looking for way more intricate and engaging anime stories dealing with the mind, you have a great alternative in the two AI:...
Blasphemous II will take you around 15-20 hours depending on how much of a completionist you consider yourself, which makes for a tight enough experience in my opinion. If you're a fan of the genre, I'd say this is the best Metroidvania 2023 will see, and I also think it's...
So, at the end of the day, the charm and uniqueness of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp lies in that very contradiction. You just need this light-hearted finish to make both the message and the challenge more bearable, and WayForward have done great work in restoring a tactical cartoonish classic...
At the end of the day what seemed to me like a slow, average indie metroidvania at first, ended up putting a spell on me by combining a creepy fairytale with some fresh ideas under a gorgeous visual finish. Those unique concepts make this a very personal origins story by...
That being said, the sole interactive restoration of the three movies is already more captivating than Telling Lies despite its more focused narrative, and it just reaches levels other games haven't even considered. Immortality is an incredible effort, a game to share with more people while you're playing and to...
Now I might have left you curious despite the obvious flaws, and that's how I felt for the six-hour run. Give it a go if you can (it's for example landing on Xbox Game Pass), as it tries a couple of interesting things and introduces the studio's very apparent talent,...
With all this being said, Bayonetta 3 is just great news. PlatinumGames needed to deliver such an outstanding game, and it's just amazing value added to the formerly fruitful genre. Don't be put off by some of its ancient or overwhelming designs at first, as the rest will quickly compensate...
All in all Nintendo Switch Sports is fun to play, a beautiful visual update and a nostalgic experience... but not in the best of ways, as it feels a bit too much like the classic and as Yoshikazu Yamashita and his team have been a bit too shy this time...
All in all, Metroid Dread left me greatly satisfied and I'll play until I get its 100% completion. I really felt almost like when I beat Fusion almost 20 years ago. It does nothing super daring or ground-breaking in terms of gameplay, even if it's masterfully interconnected and well executed....
So all in all you'll find fun within story cutscenes, quirky situations and, above all, many of the combat encounters, same as you'll probably enjoy the varied alien designs and the amazing use of art and music. However, the experience to me wasn't as tight as the previous games, and...
The rest is history. The game itself didn't age as well as it was the last of its kind, a tired old 3D Zelda formula that was sealed for good after the eruption of Breath of the Wild. It's a heavily interrupted experience that takes some time to get going...
