Konami's remasters make Suikoden I & II easy to own and play. That's all they needed to do.
A cinematic co-op full of novelties that might keep you thoughtlessly entertained for a weekend - just don't count on the author heroes to write an interesting story.
Two Point's third management outing is more impressive for its detail and sheer amount of new ideas than it is fun to play, but robust new customisation tools and novel details make for a good time in short bursts.
So, remember when I said I started Gaiden after finishing and instantly noticed how much better I liked it? It's not just the combat. I can reluctantly forgive no longer being able to gift a cabaret club hostess a cold teriyaki burger fished out of my back pocket, but even Gaiden's opening hours are so much more gripping than anything here. The villains are better, the combat feels weightier, it looks better. To top it off, it's cheaper. I don't regret spending time with Majima again but, 'free' NG+ or no, if I'd paid full price for this thing I'd feel well and truly hornswoggled.
Avowed is not the Obsidian fantasy RPG I wanted, but the decently fun spell-slinging parkour FPS I didn't expect.
At times dull, tedious, disappointing, and unfocused, Rebirth is still an exuberant, earnest and singularly exciting RPG adventure.
A largely uninteresting original story and an otherwise bloated word count aside, Dynasty Warriors Origins is a joyous balancing act of tension and spectacle that's completely reignited my interest in the series.
Lovely presentation and quirky emergent elements make this traditional roguelike a real charmer, but feeling at the mercy of fate makes the repetition wear thin a little too quickly.
Nightdive have done a great job preserving and uplifting The Thing into a crisp and playable modern offering. It’s still a fascinating game, but maybe not quite interesting enough to be worth revisiting.
Consistently building on a simple set of rules with progressively inventive twists, this detective puzzle game offers up tough but fair head scratchers you’ll feel like a genius for solving.
