Gen 1’s iconic Kanto has been abandoned for years, maybe decades, in Pokopia. Buildings have crumbled, roads have disappeared beneath overgrowth, and the Pokemon that remain live among the ruins. Rather than battling to become Champion, Pokopia asks a simpler question: what would Pokemon do if the people never came...
Pokemon Legends Z-A is a confident, city-bound shake-up for the series that looks great and plays fast, but trades away variety in the process. The result is a fun, polished adventure that leans hard on its battle systems and leaves little room for anything else.
I think Hellblade 2 is a beautiful piece of art that does some things right, but it’s not a fun game. I’d argue it’s barely a game. I can’t recommend spending $50 on a cinematic experience, especially when you could spend half that on some extraordinary indie titles that have...
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is arguably the best 2D platformer from Nintendo. Its range in difficulty makes it a game everyone can enjoy, especially with invincible characters like Yoshi and Nabbit. The co-op makes for a hilarious and fun family game night. Completionists and challenge runners are also in for...
As precious as Moonstone Island is, it won’t be for everyone. But if you like Stardew Valley and want something a little more adventurous or challenging, I say give Moonstone Island a try. It’s well worth its price of admission, and it’s a game I can see myself coming back...
Starfield
Starfield is THE space game. There’s no reason to play any others, at least not any currently available. It’s an experience made even more enticing as the game will be available on Game Pass from day one and forever. With modders supposedly having the ability to craft entire planets, it’s...
Blasphemous
The story, for one, is incomprehensible if you aren’t reading every line of dialogue, and if you miss something important, there’s no going back. I spent my playthrough disregarding the story cause I had gotten too deep, and none of it made sense to me. That said, it was still...
That said, the beautiful scenery and emotional compositions in Pikmin 4 are unmatched on the Nintendo Switch. If you thought Tears of the Kingdom was visually stunning, just take a second to boot up this game. From the moment the camera panned down on the Sun-Speckled Terrace and the whimsical...
I had to choose whether I would continue to fail miserably and hope I could take them down, or I could take a 45-minute detour to recruit Mad Dog, swap my party around, buy better gear, and reattempt the fight. If I die, I have to redo everything. It’s a...
Eldest Souls is a challenging boss-rush title set in a beautiful pixel-art world. It may not offer the most dynamic combat or gameplay mechanics, but it makes up for that with intense and creative boss battles.
The gameplay overall is a little smoother, but again, it's nothing super noticeable. There's no hitching, lagging, or dropped frames, but those didn't cause many issues the first time around on PS4, either. What's most disappointing is how little Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes advantage of the PS5's hardware. Specifically, it...
