Cat Quest III
Cat Quest III is a remarkably simple but fun adventure game for all ages. I enjoyed its numerous pirate, cat, dog, and rat puns all the while taking on foes of all sizes. There’s a good amount of weapon and armour types and the challenges can keep those of all...
Magical Delicacy has a strong set of accessibility options that can help gameplay progression, however. From platforming simplification to removal of quick-time events to even UI scaling and typeface changes, there’s a lot of options here that I really appreciate seeing as they’re not always common functions in games.
It’s nice to see a Neptunia game (and particularly a Compile Heart title) make its way to Xbox platforms. I’ve always thought this series knew its audience and its audience know of it—you’ll know right away whether you like Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters’ video game-themed world and characters and designs....
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a great refresh of a game that I had gripes with back then. Besides the far more interesting Vengeance route, the additional quality-of-life changes, added mechanics, and greatly improved performance make Vengeance easily the best version of a great turn-based RPG. Great for returning...
Turbo Golf Racing is a great racing game and an all right golfing experience. It’s got an appealing visual style and music and it’s a casual title that’s easy to pick up and play but it’s also hard to master. There’s lots of customisation you can unlock to stand out...
This game isn’t a long experience, instead the game encourages players to replay the main path and unlock all of the game’s available endings. Mirages are your key to opening different “worlds” so to speak and you will be able to purchase them with the game’s available currency as you...
Speaking of cutscenes, this game has a lot of dialogue, available in English and Japanese voiceovers. I stuck with English and enjoyed the main cast’s performance, though I did take issue with voice direction at times. Rao especially, as sometimes he’d be yelling in situations that don’t call for it,...
With the Kickstarter long behind, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes was easily worth the backing fee, my copy coming in just last Friday. I was skeptical, as stories with enormous casts don’t always fare well in pacing—but great combat, excellent visuals, and an entertaining story about rising from the ruins of...
Oh, and before I forget: Botany Manor has a nice selection of accessibility options that make the game easier to control and can help with motion sickness. Field of view, a setting to control character movement with one stick, toggle buttons for sprinting and zooming—all these are well-appreciated.
But besides that, there’s a fair bit of features that I’ve grown accustomed to from other rereleases of old titles that are missing here. You cannot set the game to render in its original resolution, loading and saving relies on a clunky menu, a lack of fast forwarding for battles,...
On a lesser note, this game doesn’t offer online cooperative play. While its not the end of the world (and I much prefer local play for these kinds of games), I feel it should be standard especially for the price point (as a favourite of mine, ‘Hard Corps: Uprising’ does)....
The game delivers story cutscenes no matter how you progress, so long as you are progressing. Technically there are a lot of junction points that let you tackle later story beats sooner, but I suggest taking your time and smelling the roses. Heck, speaking of time, if my glowing remarks...
