Bouncing off the walls.

Dragon Quest Heroes occupies a similar place as games like Hyrule Warriors and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The combat that makes up the majority of gameplay is fun but forgettable, and there's little else to keep you engaged unless you're sufficiently attached to the license. In that regard, Dragon Quest Heroes looks delightful and is bursting with characters and creatures from the history of the franchise, so anyone who has been glued to each new release since the heyday of Enix will find enough familiar sights to stay invested. However, if you're still puzzling over the differences between Dragon Quest and Dragon Warrior, there are much better fights to seek out.

Kick & Fennick is a pleasant surprise in a crowded platforming field. The obstacles present--portals, bounce pads, zip ramps--have all been seen before, but their implementation is anything but stale. It's a spartan world with only the barest hint of a story, and the futuristic environment looks the same from the opening send off to the final showdown, and yet that simplicity doesn't detract from the inherent appeal of solving well-crafted puzzles. Kids and guns may be a dangerous pairing, but when the results are this fun, you can relax and enjoy the hijinks.

Falling to pieces.

Protection from those painful truths.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D's voyage to a portable system comes with new problems, but this is still an exciting platformer.

Constant tension and difficult emotional decisions make I Am Alive a powerful adventure.
