Indeed, Ghostwire: Tokyo is at its best when it allows the player to go full-blown Spirit Detective, which occurs mostly in the side quests. Players will sometimes have to find doorways hidden by Yokai, solve a quick little mystery, chase spirit weasels around, bring certain spirits together, drive them apart,...
Players can visit Gnarvana to generate “forever levels” with certain settings for skill level and environments, while continuing to push for mastery. They can also just generate “chill” levels for that uniquely relaxing experience the game can provide too. On top of that, there are asynchronous multiplayer leagues where players...
And that can be said of Guardians of the Galaxy in a multitude of ways. As chaotic as it gets and despite any faults players may have with it, it’s hard not to feel like Star-Lord himself at the end of the game. For a game with such a heavy...
Back 4 Blood could use some more polish for bugs, technical concerns, and more. Its technical issues are not a big deal all the time, sometimes resulting in zombies just running into walls or not reacting to the player’s immediate presence. But when they are a big deal, it can...
Indeed, Tales of Arise is a game designed for long-term Tales franchise fans and those who have never picked up a franchise entry before, where story, combat, and various features come together to deliver a high-quality, highly-detailed JRPG. All of that makes it not just one of the best JRPGs...
When the campaigns are finished, players also unlock harder difficulties, a Horde Mode, and a new class, but those add-ons don't encourage repeat playthroughs. The problem with the Horde Mode, in particular, is that the entire game is one large Horde Mode. Besides some minor mechanic changes, the Horde Mode...
Overall, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition advertised itself as taking the already-popular trilogy, bringing it to modern consoles, and giving it smart improvements. There's a lot that it does to improve the games without detracting from the core experience, and that says something. The first game is 13 years old and the third...
Many fans have been waiting for a Pokemon Snap sequel since their childhood, and while it may not exactly be what they imagined, it's a solid experience and highlights what has been sorely been missed in the franchise. New Pokemon Snap is a worthwhile sequel, a relaxing journey through the...
It may not be intended this way, but these missions can feel oddly out of place, almost minimized compared to the game's stealth roots. It doesn't help at all that the Royal Demands are made available by Pigeon Coops, which delivered assassination contracts (and the like) in early games. It feels...
Outriders is the type of game where players get what they put in. For those who want a pick-up and put-down RPG with an emphasis on story, Outriders has that covered. For those who want hundreds of hours of gameplay in tense and adrenaline-pumping combat with powerful builds, Outriders has...
Ultimately, Immortals Fenyx Rising may not take itself too seriously but it ends up offering an emotional story of family drama with some genuinely funny moments. There is a lot of familiarity both in the game's DNA and the core gameplay loops, but it is still a fun experience nonetheless. Immortals Fenyx...
Where AC Origins introduced RPG mechanics and AC Odyssey took a leap of faith in pushing forward, Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings back the general feeling of being an Assassin from the core action-adventure titles. Indeed, by emphasizing the adventure and exploration components of the franchise, Assassin's Creed Valhalla may just...
