Ghost of Yōtei: Legends doesn't significantly reinvent the gameplay loop present in Tsushima: Legends, instead offering new mechanics and mission types to go with a familiar gear grind. Despite some difficulty pains, it works very well and serves as a strong foundation for what's to come.
Even within its own genre, Marathon is niche - bristling with outlandish color combinations and likely to reject those looking for something more relaxed. Stick with it, however, and the stellar gunplay, intriguing characters, fun mechanics, and tense scenarios will draw you in.
John Carpenter's Toxic Commando doesn't break out so much as cater to the Left4Dead-leaning, even with its more open-ended approach and use of vehicles. It works more often than not - just don't expect it to aspire to much more.
Looking back once more on Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game, it's still incredible how it managed to deliver a great beat 'em up experience within the confines of its property. Scott Pilgrim EX can be fun, but it lacks that additional level of oomph that could see it stand side by side with the original, and that's without getting into all the ways it simply falls short as a video game. It may have served genre fans well ten years ago, but compared to some of the greats of today, like Absolum and even Tribute Games' own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, it aspires to be simply good rather than outright incredible.
Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf isn't a massive leap in terms of storytelling, and the core puzzle-platforming gameplay remains. However, it's still a well-rounded experience with appreciable characters.
Even if it's the definitive way to experience Ys 10 with some genuinely fun new content, Proud Nordics only further showcases what could have been.
An over-the-top power fantasy balanced with appropriate challenge and build variety, BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is the best version of 91Act's rogue-lite, even if some areas could use further improvements.
Reanimal is exactly what you might expect from the original Little Nightmares team, and yet, wondrous in its own right. Like venturing down the rabbit hole of unrelenting terror, it's an experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
Romeo is a Dead Man has many fundamental issues, which is a shame because its sense of style, and allure make for a uniquely surreal adventure.
Whether it will bring on those who couldn't get through the original or not, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is a finely honed role-playing game and a fitting retake on a divisive classic.
