Snack World really isn’t my thing. As much as I am a fan of Level-5, the pitch of this one is out, and as such, too much of it falls flat. It’s a satirical game that’s trying too hard and if it was funny, then the jokes it makes would...
These are all mild criticisms that don’t take away from all the great that Azur Lane Crosswave is. It’s a clean, snappy, hugely entertaining game, and an excellent next step forward for the emerging property. You’ll want to have a high tolerance for fan service, but it’s a Compile Heart...
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is cynical. It has taken a safe, familiar genre, done absolutely nothing but the most straightforward, safe application of it, and thrown the Dark Crystal license over the top, but it has in no way tried to do anything interesting with Dark Crystal. Just...
Still, having too much of a good thing is the possibly the most forgivable flaw that hit too many games, and Patapon has the pick-up-and-play vibe going for it, meaning that you can always take a break from it if it starts to become draining. The only other issue with...
Still, because Arc of Alchemist is such a short JRPG, the more draining elements of it don’t end up being exhausting. Because the game moves at such a snappy pace it’s easy to focus on and enjoy its strengths – the narrative and characters. Over the last couple of years...
None of the characters or situations in Coffee Talk are simple or black-and-white. Rather, the world is a beautiful, complicated shade of grey. People aren’t “good” or “bad,” they’re just trying to do their best. The message is hopeful. The pace is soothing. The music is well-suited to the environment....
Journey to the Savage Planet ticks all the right boxes. It gets its core play loops right, and it respects the player’s time – you’ll clock it at 15 or so hours if you’re not too concerned with collecting everything along the way. I had a good time in both...
All in all, while Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn’t really do anything new “overall”, it’s still an amazing time because of the way that everything has been put together. Those new to the series and long time fans alike have plenty to find and enjoy, as the pacing is just...
Unless I’ve somehow forgotten something spectacular, the last Wii U title worth playing and desperately needing a Switch port is now Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater. Tokyo Mirage Sessions was one of the very few Wii U titles that I’ve been hanging out for a Switch re-release of since I...
If you’re under any illusions about whether Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls is for a general video game audience, don’t be. It’s not. It’s not even for general RPG fans. Hell. If you enjoy modern dungeon crawlers you’re still going to need to be adventurous to get a kick out...
So while SD Gundam G Generation Cross Days may not be for everyone, I would definitely recommend it to fans of the series and fans of turned based tactics. With all of the series and side stories available to play, not to mention the sheer number of available units, there...
