Monster Hunter Stories
Overall, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is pretty friendly to new players. Its RPG mechanics are straightforward enough to grasp pretty quickly and the game doesn't spend too much time muddling the experience with tutorials. Even for someone who's never played a Monster Hunter game in their life,...
Overall, Star Wars: The Old Republic has changed a lot since its initial 2011 launch. With a renewed focus on its narrative experience, its become the definitive choice for anyone looking to scratch a Knights of the Old Republic itch before a remake happens. The Dark Descent adds to the...
World-Splitter
World Splitter is a neat little puzzle-platformer and may interest those looking for something new in the platforming genre. It does what its title says well and is unique among other similar games like So Many Me or Fez. While available on other consoles and PC, it's probably the best...
Despite its issues, The Lost Gods is still lots of fun to play. It's generally a strong addition to Immortals Fenyx Rising, combining substantial changes with the gameplay elements that made the base game enjoyable. There are plenty of puzzles and challenges on Pyrite Island, especially for those who want to complete everything...
Pac-Man 99
On the whole though, Pac-Man 99 is a spirited and competitive freebie that all Nintendo Switch Online members should try. While the battle royale gimmick is wearing thin across the industry, Pac-Man 99 refreshes the concept through its replayable reimagination of classic arcade gameplay. Even though the DLC is underwhelming, Pac-Man...
While there are elements of the gameplay that can be dull at best and problematic at worst, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is otherwise a creepy, well-constructed and overall enjoyable horror-mystery that should appeal well to fans of the genre -- and it is easy enough to pick-up that gamers curious about...
It's difficult to know how many people are fans of both "found-phone" adventure games and Doctor Who. If you find yourself in the cross-section of this particular Venn diagram, then this game is definitely for you. But really, considering The Lonely Assassins is essentially a sequel to one of the long-running...
On this same note, the game can also be fairly easy, as Stubb's health regenerates from doing basic attacks. His accompanying zombie horde also helps him out, making enemies drop like flies and join their ranks in seconds. This can be curtailed a bit on the higher difficulties, but normal...
Persona 5 Strikers
I've always been a fan of the Shin Megami Tensei games, but I'm honestly hopeful that Strikers sets a new standard for Persona spin-offs. Don't get me wrong: I don't want the JRPG series to end, and I love the traditional turn-based combat those titles offer. But the style and...
Hitman 3
On the whole though, IO Interactive has set the tenor for AAA gaming in 2021. Hitman 3 is a thoughtfully constructed and masterfully designed title. While it could've used another round of polish before release, the PS5 build has the occasional (albeit easily patched) technical hiccup, though nothing that takes away...
Immortals Fenyx Rising
Overall, Immortals Fenyx Rising isn't doing anything particularly revolutionary. While it does put it own spin on a tried and true formula, its gameplay and structure still feel familiar. Calling it more of the same isn't entirely inaccurate. However, when that "same" is an engaging open world action-adventure that reminds players of some...
AI: The Somnium Files
As silly and strange as this game is, it's not without heart, which is probably best exemplified in Mizuki and Date's relationship. Both of them are dealing with internal issues: Date questions his own identity because of his amnesia and Mizuki blames herself for her parents' recent divorce and why...
