Gameplay in NEO: The World Ends With You largely follows a pattern of solving puzzles in Shibuya to gain access to more districts and locales, then fighting through waves of Noise or bosses to advance the team's progress. There are sidequests and other elements, like Scramble Slam, which shake up the...
Akiba's Trip is set in Akihabara, which is a hub for otaku culture in Tokyo. The area is home to vampiric creatures called Shadow Souls, which drain blood from people, as well as their will to live. Unlike regular vampires, Shadow Souls can survive in the sunlight, so long as only their...
Watch Dogs: Legion's procedurally generated group of hackers pulled off something unique at launch, but they didn't really make for compelling protagonists. It was fun to explore the different ability sets, but the missions across London never felt like they were anything more than endless side activities stripped out of another...
The gameplay in DC Super Hero Girls is well thought out, as players are given specific characters to run through the city of Metropolis picking up missions and pushing the narrative. Combat is handled in separate set-pieces where the heroes can go all out without the fear of NPC casualties. Up to...
One thing to keep in mind if playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on the Switch is that the Joy Con controllers aren't well suited to the precision that this game requires. Landing a trick from in the air requires that the skater is facing the right direction...

Lower difficulties will have enemy AI simply standing around waiting to be killed by three or four hits, while the higher difficulties turn these attackers into massive damage sponges that can make a simple...
A short but wildly enjoyable puzzle game.
Although Ratchet and Rivet's gameplay feels the same, there are also various mini game modes to freshen things up. The game's Glitch sections are a basic third-person shoot 'em-up where the player must shoot out virus hubs within networks, while the player takes control of Clank to fix dimensional shifts with little puzzles that...
Ninja Gaiden Sigma, like its accompanying ports, doesn't touch the gameplay or mechanics at all. Of the three, Sigma's level design is the most effective. Areas are open enough to explore but not too much as to make each area feel empty or bland. The combat feels both impactful and inconsistent, with Ryu's...
As far as the gameplay and story are concerned, nothing has changed about Maneater on Nintendo Switch. Aside from patches and bug fixes, this is the same experience that released last year on other platforms. While it's initially a blast to swim through the various regions of the bayou and chomp through...
This feeling of connection extends to the whole of Mass Effect Legendary Edition. It feels far more enjoyable and cohesive to play through the entire series from start to end, as the trilogy feels more like a singular narrative now than ever before. In the past, many fans reported playing Mass Effect...
