OlliOlli World manages to build on its predecessors while also feeling like a totally new game. The art style is a deep breath of fresh air, moving away from the primitive aesthetic of the past that felt like much more of an acquired taste. The controls remain simple to grasp...
I'll throw Kitfox Games and Sundae Month a bone in this sense. Gaming needs more wholesome experiences like this and I'm glad Pupperazzi exists. If the team revisits this concept in the future, I'm excited for what it's capable of delivering. For now, I'll just look at this game as...
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is an easy game to misjudge. It would be simple to dismiss it as a casual puzzle game. It is far from that. This game is as deceptively difficult as it is engaging. The difficulty level may even turn off those just looking for a relaxing...
The best thing I can say about Fights in Tight Spaces is that it's so easy to get lost in a run. You can start this game at 7 or 8 p.m. and it'll be midnight before you even know what's what. It takes a special kind of game for...
As much as the Mario Party series can be lauded for evolving over the past two decades, Mario Party Superstars fully embraces that the series never really needed that much "fixing" in the first place. The N64 days are remembered as classics for a reason and the only thing that...
Unpacking largely succeeds at creating a calming experience, which is funny, because there's usually nothing "calm" about moving into a new home. However, if you remove the placement restrictions, this is a game where you can sit back, soak in the music, and enjoy a pressure-free story. The only real...
What Eidos Montreal does with player choice is also commendable, though it still feels like more could have been done. It's 2021 and I feel like I should be able to compare my choices and my ending with my friends and with the online gaming space. However, the way in...
Honestly, I could give the the Castlevania Advance Collection a thumbs up just for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow alone. That's a fun gem that feels like it's been lost to the ages and forgotten in a "favorite Castlevania" conversation that's often dominated by Symphony of the Night. The rest of...
Even beyond the games themselves, it should be noted that The Jackbox Party Pack 8 still has its great accessibility features for people playing remotely or playing on Twitch. However, I want to note that for the first time, settings can actually be accessed mid-game. While that doesn't sound like...
Kena's made that much better by its beautiful environments, its thoughtful puzzles, and its series of collectibles. No, it's not necessary to grab every hat that the Rot can wear, but it's fun to keep an eye out for them. The combat has its shortcomings, but it isn't nearly bad...
WarioWare: Get It Together is a fun romp if you have friends, but it'll feel like a passing fancy if you don't. The best thing to say about it is that it goes back to the basics of what makes WarioWare work. It's all about simple microgames that go a...
