There’s a lot of room for Granblue Fantasy: Versus to grow from here. There are a lot more characters that can be brought into the game, and many more stories that can be told through that RPG mode. As it is, however, this is a remarkably beautiful and intelligently-structured fighting...
Indeed, there aren’t many properties that have a longer and deeper history than Space Invaders. Taito’s legend started before Mario Bros., before Pac-Man, before Asteroids, before Castlevania, and almost any other “retro” video game series that you can think of. Building a collection out of that much history is actually...
We all need games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and while I don’t think it’s perfect by any means, and some of the new elements this time around come at the expense of what made previous titles so wonderful, the winning charm is still there in full. This will be...
My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a straightforward expansion of the first game, offering new characters and stages galore. Although it relies on the same disappointing implementation of the anime’s story, the arcade mode compensates with humour. The refined arena fighting gameplay carries this one to being among the more...
It’s not that Moons of Madness is without merit, but it does come across as a game where the development team never quite reached creative cohesion and weren’t able to quite work out what they wanted to achieve with this game. From the butchering of Lovecraft’s vision, to a scenic...
Doom 64 is an impressive port of the forgotten son of the series. Without a multiplayer mode it sits as one of the less essential shooters from the era, but as the first effort at bringing Doom into three dimensions, it’s a valuable bit of series history, and to this...

You probably already know whether you want to buy MLB The Show 20. If you’re not a baseball fan, it’s obviously not for you. However, the series is going to start making its way to other consoles soon, with Sony apparently losing the right to keep it exclusive to PlayStation...
Saitama, the eponymous One Punch Man, has journeyed from homemade web comics to full-fledged Jump magazine releases to gloriously animated works. His next stop poses a dilemma: how do you incorporate a character that wins in a single blow into the video game medium, let alone in a fighting game?
Clearly this is one of those releases that Nintendo gets a developer to pull together on the cheap in order to keep the flow of first party games coming to the Switch. There’s no other explanation, aside from resourcing, for this being a remake of GBA title that wasn’t considered...
Just as I have a special reverence for Demon’s Souls, even as I recognise Dark Souls was able to refine and improve on “the formula”, I recognise that Nioh 2 is the better game, while also missing spirit and originality, which has gone by the wayside. That said, Nioh 2...
Two Point Hospital is wildly entertaining, with a great sense of humour and production values that pop with light-hearted, satirical style. It’s worth playing through if for no other reason than to see what zany diseases and treatments you’ll need to deal with next. It’s just odd that for a...
