Hitman 2 is a colossal collection of puzzles begging to be solved through multiple playthroughs. It’s meticulous in its scoring system, objectives, and unlocks. Even though this would have worked perfectly as a “season two” for the original Hitman, the need for a new package is perfectly understandable given their situation. I...
Tetris Effect
Some people will be disappointed by the lack of competitive modes, and that’s fair enough, but don’t let their omission bring you down too much. Tetris Effect isn’t intended to be a heated head-to-head sort of game. It’s more sentimental. Whether you’ve loved Tetris since the ’80s or you’ve never...
Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session achieves its goal of being incredibly simplistic but wonderfully addictive. Painted in fun and adorable visuals and peppered with unique tunes, it’s a worthy addition to the canon of enjoyable rhythm-action titles. But heed should be paid to the potential cost of picking up a...
Reigns: Game of Thrones doesn’t reinvent the Reigns formula but it certainly gets more out of it than either of the last two games. With clever writing and a deductive approach to ruling from the Iron Throne, it’s a great way to revisit the world of Westeros as we await the final...
Some technical and control issues aside, I still think the 3DS version of Luigi’s Mansion is a solid option for newcomers or for people looking to revisit this GameCube classic. Catching various ghosts and completing Professor E. Gadd’s gallery is a perfect time burner on the go and Grezzo have...
How much you get out of My Hero One’s Justice will likely depend on how much you enjoy either My Hero Academia or how much you desire a highly accessible, style-over-substance fighter. Given that we live in a time with a seemingly unprecedented number of absolutely fantastic anime fighters, that might be...
With a stronger connection to the world and a more rewarding progression system, Nine Parchments could have been more than a fleeting arcade fancy. If you can find it on sale (which it has hosted many times since launch) and can wrangle up three other people, it’s a decent party game...
It’s not quite as good a package as my favorite Jackbox Party Pack, but in my opinion, Party Pack 5 is much better than last year’s offering. None of the games seem to be here just to fill out the pack. If you’re looking for something to do with a group over the upcoming...
SoulCalibur VI
I still remember sitting down for the first time to play Soulcalibur on the Dreamcast and hearing Jeff Manning’s voice echo across the room. This is a larger-than-life series that deserves a lot of love and care from its creator: and with VI, it got it. The recent documentary that openly acknowledges...
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is a passionate retelling of one of history’s most violent, bare-bones, and overwhelmingly macho tales. In that capacity, it does a great job. But it’s not quite the masterpiece it could have been, let down by repetition, unlock grinds, and a lack of...
The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories, is a short, dark trip through the nightmare of youth; growing up, discovering yourself, and existing in a society that rarely understands. Sure to be a divisive title among players, there are those who will find The Missing overpriced, earnest and...
My Memory of Us is a joy to play. It’s a well-crafted game that is clearly made by a team equipped to tackle such a heavy subject matter. Even without directly showing any Nazi symbols, the story is heart-wrenching and manages to pay tribute to the sacrifice of those who...
