Overall, Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is a solid addition to the long-running MMO, though its not without its shortcomings. We felt that the Main Scenario has some odd pacing issues, and that the role quests are largely forgettable. That said, the level of gameplay being offered here for battle content...
You may find some things about it lacking, like the fact it has a pretty big cast but only focuses on a few of its characters, or that its graphics look a little sloppy, but at its core, it is a really good time. Especially when you consider how many...
To be clear, there’s still a decent horror game to be had here for fans of the genre, but by the time the credits rolled, I found it difficult to not feel a tinge of disappointment in seeing just how much further the characters and concepts could have been taken...
Overall, Crown Wars: The Black Prince is a pretty solid experience with a few stumbles. It is definitely a worthy title especially considering it’s not from the likes of Nintendo or Square Enix, and I think anyone who considers themselves a fan of the genre can find themselves a...
However, if you have played the first game and just want to see how your favorite couple has been doing since getting together, PLEASE buy this! The characters are so fun and it’s not often you get a glimpse into the best part of otome games, the characters and their...
Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is a rare instance of great execution when the “when it’s done” attitude is adopted. Anchored mostly by its great presentation and story, this sequel easily meets expectations while also remembering what genre fans like about the series. New fans and old will enjoy what Luna’s...
Dread Delusion offers an interesting universe and a gorgeous art style, but both are thoroughly wrapped up in a mechanically thin and ultimately unsatisfying RPG experience. The Oneiric Isles capture the spirit of the RPG worlds of the past, and there’s a wide breadth of content and characters to learn...
It is for these reasons I issue it a score with my recommendation for serious genre fans, who will likely eat this one up as it presses the right buttons. But for those of you who weren’t around for games like Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Unreal, or Hexen, there...
However, if you like to march through corridors, blow through your enemies, and maybe get a few one-liners in along the way? Phantom Fury is going to be a good time. It’s a legacy throwback that has done its homework, and while it didn’t delight me it also never made...
As it stands, ArcRunner is not a bad game. I don’t think it’s truly dire by any stretch of the imagination, even with the font being kind of awful. But it’s just not a very good game either. It’s fine. And just fine doesn’t get much more than a tepid...
If you’re fan of snappy, unique puzzle gameplay and short time commitments, Children of the Sun is going to absolutely be your jam. By consistently introducing new gameplay twists and building on its complexity, it creates an addictive gameplay loop where each stage asks the player to do a new...
That’s… what it wants to be. And so I have to kind of give it up for that. There are frustration points, sure, but if you like this style of platformer it simultaneously doesn’t feel like something that’s been done a dozen times before and is fun to play start...
