SMT III Nocturne HD is almost the exact same game as the original title on the PS2. The only major QoL improvement is the ability to select a new demon's skills during the fusion process, and even this was a post-launch update. SMT III Nocturne HD would have benefitted from some optional...
Video games have historically done a tremendous job of making players care about inanimate objects. Whether it's the ever-beloved companion cube of the Portal games, or the simple shapes of indie platform darling Thomas Was Alone, game developers have likely made players care more about objects than they would care to admit...
However, the game does get the Terminator atmosphere right, matching the dark future of the franchise excellently. The T-800s are as foreboding as they should be in earlier levels, before the player gets access to plasma weaponry and they become less of a threat. There are lots of Easter Eggs for fans of the...
The gameplay additions are simple but effective, adding to the classic strategies without getting in the way of what people love about Pac-Man. A veteran player would only need a few rounds to understand the new mechanics and get rolling, and it feels like their old skills would serve them well...
Players join the fight against the Trade Federation as Delta Squad leader RC-1138, otherwise known as Boss. The beginning of the game depicts the clone commando's first moments on Kamino before going into his training and his meetup with his brothers in arms. After an impressively tight opening, Republic Commando is light on cutscenes,...
Titles from Telltale Games tend to be narrative-focused, and often offer another entry into different franchises' universes that are perfect for dedicated fans. The player has limited control over character actions, usually through quick time events, while a branching story plays out dependent on dialogue chosen by the player. Somewhere between full-fledged game...
As far as museum extras go, the NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection does include looks at each game's manual, box and cartridge in English and Japanese. Other than that, the spartan menu only offers the option to play the games. This is a letdown considering the historical context a bundle like this can provide. SNK and...
Part of this is thanks to Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville's impressive single-player modes. The game arrives on Switch fully formed after a year of DLC updates, so it features multiple full adventures that can be enjoyed solo or with friends via co-op. While these modes felt like a sideshow on other...
The gameplay overall is a little smoother, but again, it's nothing super noticeable. There's no hitching, lagging, or dropped frames, but those didn't cause many issues the first time around on PS4, either. What's most disappointing is how little Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes advantage of the PS5's hardware. Specifically, it...
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is broken down into four different difficulty options: Legend, Knight, Squire, and Page. Legend and Knight are recommended for veteran players who are used to the brutal difficulty of the older entries, and Arthur will take only two hits before being defeated. Once the player has died,...
In total, there are 100 Cat Shines to collect, with every handful of them unlocking access to the Giga Bell - which will transform Mario into his Giga Cat form - and queue up a fight with Fury Bowser. The mechanic is not unlike the various boss fights staged within Super Mario 64, with each...
Control’s PS5 port does a tremendous job of improving the sluggishness of the original release, too. By and large, players should have no issues navigating the game’s environment and feeling the improvements current-generation hardware offers them. However, aiming the Service Weapon still feels like trying to track enemies while wading...
