It feels like a pointless endeavour to stick a score on something like this, really. Thanks to recent titles such as River City Girls and timeless classics such as Streets of Rage 2, I’ve found playing most of the titles in Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun: Retro Brawler Bundle to be...

Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[cl-r] might just be the best fighting game available on Switch. In fact, I’ll just say it: it is the best fighting game on Switch. It doesn’t have 40+ characters and it doesn’t have the history or familiarity of franchises such as Street Fighter, but it...
There’s no question that LUNA: The Shadow Dust has been a passion project for Lantern Studio. The care and attention that’s gone into even the smallest details is plain and clear to see. While its puzzles can be quite obtuse at times, any video game enthusiast will be happy to...
It’s worth noting, though, that if you’ve previously played Florence on mobile, the Switch or PC version offers nothing extra. It’s simply a new way to play it for those who may not game on their phone. You’re paying slightly more for the privilege (it’s £5/$6 on Switch and £4.79/$6 on...
It’s not as good as Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, but Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo is still an interesting proposition for shoot ’em up fans. It’s expected, what with this collection launching so quickly after the first, that it doesn’t do anything to address its predecessor’s shortfalls, but it’s still a...
Packed with droves of tension and atmosphere, The Suicide of Rachel Foster will keep you on your toes. Even when nothing awaits you around the next corner other than an empty corridor, you’ll find yourself constantly looking over your shoulder, expecting the worst at any moment. And with a twisting, gut-wrenching story...
All things considered, Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is a must-have, especially for those who haven’t yet played either of these stunning games. It goes a long way in bringing two of the last generation’s best games visually up to date, and their gameplay hasn’t aged a bit. In...
Ultimately, Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ is the visual novel for those who don’t usually like visual novels. If you don’t enjoy it, then visual novels really aren’t for you. It’s free of gamification, but that’s no issue when the story’s good enough to hold your attention alone. If you...
If you do stick with Daemon X Machina, you’ll find a lengthy campaign that’s padded out with plenty of optional free missions. There are also co-op focused exploration missions that enable you to get valuable parts, and competitive multiplayer if you’re up for it. Overall, it’s quite the comprehensive package....
While it initially took me a while to get into, and the random nature of the encounters can sometimes be annoying, there’s a lot to enjoy with Here Be Dragons. Once the gameplay clicked, I was thoroughly absorbed; I began to relish each of my strategic victories and even enjoyed...
With a running time of around ten hours, it speaks volumes that Arc of Alchemist still manages to outstay its welcome. Chances are you’ll be bored of it within two. Even its bosses aren’t noteworthy. If you do somehow manage to find yourself fond of the game, there’s New Game...
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is quite a sizeable game for its price – you can expect to get at least ten hours of play out of it. It has decent music and visuals, too. It’s just a shame that its story isn’t engaging at all. If it...
