Despite the successes of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, I can't help but feel it's a game that doesn't make full use of its time-travel potential, both in its overworld and in its story.
Mixtape's stellar writing, concise runtime, and inspired use of its licensed soundtrack make it an instant classic and a heartfelt trip down memory lane.
Even with my dissatisfaction with stealth and some minor glitches, the latest LEGO Batman is a rain-slicked success.
Despite its fantastic core battle system, poor game direction and an overbearing free-to-play structure keep Pokémon Champions from reaching its full potential.
Mixtape's stellar writing, concise runtime, and inspired use of its licensed soundtrack make it an instant classic and a heartfelt trip down memory lane.
Science fiction is often at its best when translating modern-day matters into futuristic allegories, heightening everyday issues into dramatic circumstances to reveal truths about humanity. Tides of Tomorrow executes this principle to great effect in both its narrative and mechanics, and I greatly enjoyed how its themes were so neatly communicated across each moment of gameplay.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection didn't "wow" me. Its story is adequately entertaining, its combat is sometimes tedious, and I wouldn't consider it a "must-play" role-playing game.

Even so, the combat and breeding are two distinct parts of the game, and the former takes up so much playtime t...
Death Howl is a turn-based, grid-based Soulslike deckbuilder, but despite this dizzyingly long chain of subgenres, the game comes together well, with a tight, satisfying gameplay loop. Its themes of grief are well-handled, its sidequests are unique and challenging, and it continued to introduce fun new mechanics even dozens of hours into my 45-hour playthrough.
“Waddle Doo!” I cheer at the top of my lungs. I just lost an online race in Kirby Air Riders, but I couldn’t be happier. All week, I’ve been trying to unlock Waddle Doo by using a specific item in a specific mode, and have been so unlucky in finding it that this otherwise insignificant race has become a massive achievement. Kirby Air Riders, the latest from beloved game director Masahiro Sakurai, is filled with moments like this. The game overflows with his signature style, making bol...
