Remedy’s action metroidvania RPG is one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
One of the sharpest parry/deflect-heavy action games ever made.
Game Freak’s latest is an uninspired adventure, but one with great action and combat…
A triumphant comeback for a series that has been gone for far too long…
A social sim that really gives back what you put in.
BYOGBGGG. The extra G is for games. The second one is a typo.
Bowser's Fury is good enough to be released standalone, but makes up a significant part of this excellent package.
With the announcement of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, I was convinced that Nintendo had begun a new Zelda canon centered around The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo had, at last, glanced over the lengthy and confusing Zelda timeline, and have decided to pick and choose the most worthwhile aspects of that universe and create an original timeline with all the features you adore, in a brand new setting. Creating a revolving canon around Breath of the Wild is a solid choice. Well, after a swift 25 hours of playing Age of Calamity, I'm no longer convinced this is an essential place to find canon Zelda lore, but it is so easy to get lost in playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity that it's still an excellent game for all Zelda fans.
Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm is not afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve. It knows it is heavily inspired by classic The Legend of Zelda games, and it wants you to know that too. It follows a young boy who leaves his home village and ends up traveling across the world to collect three themed emblems to quash an evil threat. This game is the epitome of games inspired by The Legend of Zelda - then the only question that remains is if it holds up to the series it takes so much inspiration from.
In any good strategy game, there's an enormous sense of risk. Victory is never assured, no matter how dense your army may be, and watching the units you have carefully cultivated over hours of play die by the hands of an overwhelming enemy is heartbreaking. Add to that a good amount of terror from being on the frontlines yourself, and that's essentially what Pikmin is. Carefully producing a capable force, only to have it all fall when the fight kicks off. Watching Pikmin cry as their ghosts leave their bodies from being crushed or eaten by a giant foe is frightening and sad, but it's only a blip on the radar compared to seeing those monstrous beasties fall from the might of your tactics.
