If, like me, you fell off the Naruto bandwagon during the early parts of Ninja War, it’s a great way to put a few hours in and still know how the whole narrative ended up playing out.
Even though I still have no idea who most of these characters are, that didn’t end up mattering to me in the end. Nitroplus Blasterz is a fast, smooth, strategic, and generally entertaining fighting game that has found a happy medium between accessibility and depth. Provided a decent-sized community builds...
Does your kid constantly go on about Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. while they run around the room in their Hawkeye outfit? Pick up LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and add it to the massive pile of LEGO games you likely already have. It’s a fun mindless romp through a couple of...
Despite the grind, despite the perhaps undue commitment to brutality, and despite what I feel is a joke at the player’s expense at the end, Darkest Dungeon still manages to be one of the most engaging and intriguing roguelikes I’ve ever played and I’ll probably still be diving dungeons and...
While the multiplayer is mediocre at best, the campaign more than compensates for fans of the series. All the worries of “it can’t be Homeworld if it’s not in space!” should be put to rest, because Deserts of Kharak says otherwise. The asking price is a bit steep for those who are...
The Deadly Tower of Monsters is a fleeting experience, but one that no B-movie fan should go without. I have a few issues with the loot and upgrade systems (namely in that they feel superfluous), but as a straight action game, it mostly succeeds in what it sets out to do.
I loved the responsive controls, and that’s a big factor when examining an action-heavy game like this, but the presentation is also commendable. The art and sound design play pivotal roles. Bugs are squishy, just as you’d expect, while power-ups serve as a visual and auditory jolt of energy. The...
I really enjoyed my time with The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human. It may be a bit on the short side, especially for players who are able to take down the bosses with relative ease, although most players are probably looking at about six to seven hours of playtime....
In the end, Bluepoint deserves credit for managing to bring out the best in an already-pretty-good game, allowing PS4 owners the chance to experience the charm of Gravity Rush unhampered by the limitations of its original platform.
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India isn’t a whole lot different compared to China, which is either a good or a bad thing depending on your prior experience. It sports a slightly less interesting character and setting, but the core experience is replicated, and the addition of a few gameplay tweaks as...
Tharsis
Tharsis is a good way to spend 10-30 minutes to see what happens on the next journey. It’s a very harsh battle against the unknown, and can be utterly soul-crushing. Perhaps too soul-crushing, actually. Players will, at times, feel so defeated and useless that playing again seems pointless. And maybe that’s the...
That Dragon, Cancer is a beautiful experience, if one that would have benefited considerably from having content cut to improve the flow, pacing, and tone.
