Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a quaint game that doesn't bring anything exceptionally new to the genre, but is undeniably charming.
Bright Memory Infinite's tight gunplay is simply spread too thin to make up for an otherwise uninspired experience.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a surprisingly compelling single-player adventure that packs in some real emotion, despite a few shortcomings.
Kena Bridge of Spirits is a charming adventure that packs a ton of heart, as well as a wealth of engaging systems.
All three Yakuza games also feature updated translations, making them fall more in line with the modern Yakuza titles. By and large, the translations aren't complete overhauls, but small touchups that make the games fall in line with the rest of the series, like correcting certain character's names.

It’s an overwhelming experience, and while that may initially sound bad, things only get better the further...
I’ve played every PlatinumGames title there is out there, so I went into Astral Chain already expecting some quality action. It’s not every day that a game completely blows away my expectations, and makes it immediately clear that it’s something special.
When Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 released in 2009 we were just two movies into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with only Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. The status of the superhero genre has transformed radically since then with 21 more Marvel movies, over 10 Marvel TV shows, and an absolutely obscene amount...
