Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a glorious successor to Three Houses in almost every aspect, with only a few pacing issues.
Originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2008 (back when it was still part of the Harvest Moon franchise), Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is starting its new life in a post-Stardew Valley world, a game that is so good that it serves as the inevitable litmus test for any...
Super Mario Party Jambooree was only released last year, so one could argue that such a recent game has the least to gain from a Switch 2 edition. However, Mario Party games have always celebrated the novel control schemes a new console has to offer, so Super Mario Party Jamboree...
In an industry where high-fidelity graphics are so often associated with triple-A titles, you’d be forgiven for assuming Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a triple-A title too. But no, this narrative stealth game set in a fictional city reminiscent of industrial-era London reminds us that the big publishers don’t have...
With so many developers pushing barely-changed ports on us and calling them remasters — or worse, remasters that actually ruin the game —we need more to follow ATLUS’ example with RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. It’s an unwieldy title, but no less so than the original game...
It only takes one glance at Deliver At All Costs to understand its appeal. We all remember games like GTA and LA Noire, which feature notoriously unwieldy driving systems that have you bowling over pedestrians, rear-ending other cars, and crashing into walls. Funny thing is, we love every second of...
Whenever Wadjet Eye Games comes out with a new adventure, I always sit up and take note. Its extensive library of point-and-click games includes no shortage of interesting, unique, and fun experiences, and Old Skies is no exception. Sci-fi tales are a dime a dozen these days, but Old Skies...
It’s not even one year ago that Lorelei and the Laser Eyes blew us away with its incredibly complex web of narrative and puzzles, and it didn’t seem like anything would hold a candle to it for a long, long time. But Blue Prince, the debut game from film (and...
For as long as Assassin’s Creed established its custom of setting each new title in a new country and era, fans have begged Ubisoft to bring the series to Japan. It’s surprising it took them so long, but now we finally have it: Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Personally, I’ve skipped the...
There is something so special about playing a game that feels comfortingly familiar, but wonderfully new at the same time. I don’t think I’m alone in that, given the recent prevalence of retro-inspired games. We’ve seen the NES-likes, the SNES-likes, and the PS2-likes, but Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is...
You could call Donkey Kong Country Returns HD a sort of definitive edition. It brings with it the levels and features that were added to the 3DS version as well as the graphical upgrades you’d expect, though the main purpose of this release is obviously just to bring Donkey Kong’s...
Loco Motive
A game doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel to be an excellent title. In fact, sometimes what we want from a game is something completely familiar, something comfy that we can throw ourselves into and know exactly what to expect. Loco Motive gives us exactly that in this pixel-art point-and-click...
