Mario Tennis Fever stands out as a delightful tennis game, even to someone as uninterested in sports games as myself. A bit too much of the story mode is a very slow tutorial, but the plethora of match types to try and the rock-solid core tennis gameplay make this a...
It’s been a decent break since Squanch Games’ comical High On Life initially debuted. I had a complete blast with it, with its explorable worlds and fun-to-use arsenal of talkative guns, but the question remains if they can nail that magic a second time. With High On Life 2, they...

Romeo Is A Dead Man takes style over substance beyond its breaking point. A game that features cool and outlandish ideas at every turn, with a 2D pixel hub space ship, a maze navigating upgrade minigame, and outlandish sci-fi ideas, like the Space-Time FBI. Any surprises it might hold or...
My Hero Academia: All’s Justice has some ambitious ideas for an arena fighter, though they’re executed with mixed results. As a My Hero Academia 3D fighting game, All’s Justice is rather enjoyable and features an impressive roster – it’s just the singleplayer campaigns that struggle more, thanks to some peculiar...

Pain. Disease. Death. All unpleasant, yet all realities of the human condition. While the sciences have come a long way, the claims of those who practiced them were once much more ambitious and unwieldy. It might seem silly to consider reaching immortality through science, but in eras such as the...
It’s hard to believe Final Fantasy VII Remake came out nearly six years ago, bringing the first part of the trilogy project to life. Since then, we’ve reviewed Remake, Intermission, and Rebirth, but it was about time for a refresher.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From The Ashes is like looking into a universe where the Avatar franchise was a venerable 80s/90s action staple.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is certainly a bit different from what I expected, but it’s largely a strong next step for the series. Though some bizarre padding and an oddly empty open world keep the game from being a stone-cold classic, Metroid Prime 4 is still a great experience that...
Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is a great expansion to the base game that adds some much-needed quality-of-life improvements, interesting new Mega Pokémon, as well as plenty of returning Pokémon. The story is a bit strangely paced, but this is an overall worthwhile addition to an already solid title.
