It’s been fifteen years since Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game released, and a cool five since I published my review of the repackaged Complete Edition. As the first proper video game sequel, Tribute Games’ Scott Pilgrim EX is in a unique position, essentially using a throwback genre to...
Therefore, I am so grateful for the chance to review Pokémon Pokopia and experience this cozy life sim early. Despite only being 10 GB in size, I've played over 35 hours of Pokémon Pokopia so far, according to my Switch 2. Given that I've also done quite a bit of...
Grace isn't going to be popping off every enemy she sees with a magnum. Instead, you'll have more limited amounts of ammo, a string of breakable, smaller knives (as opposed to Leon's beast of a hatchet that can be repaired in real time), and more of a reliance on crafting...
Enemies are also a bit more varied this time, with bounty hunter baddies donning suits that can split apart after death, creating more threats. The bosses, however, remain a sore point. The bullet-spongey feel of the original bosses returns, coupled with some awkward (and in a few cases, glitchy) transitions...
The narrative is told through a haphazard set of meta-narrative/self-aware sections and dramatic elements that involve Romeo's grasp on reality and what it means to be human. Grasshopper is known for threading the needle nicely in their past work, and they pull it off again here. Because of how violent...
Fever shots as a whole can make the game extremely hectic, but also add a lot of personality. It's especially fun in doubles matches, where you can temporarily eliminate an opponent with a well-timed lob like an arcade game. Yep, that's right: Characters now have HP (health points) as well....
Absent the aforementioned retcon, I found the updated translation and script in Yakuza Kiwami 3 to be a noticeable improvement, and Dark Ties’ entertaining Hell’s Arena sweetens the deal. Without it, I’d arguably still recommend the game, albeit with the caveat that curious fans might want to carefully weigh their...
Nioh 3
Since it doesn't directly tie into the first two games (there's even a recap of the story so far that's directly found in the third entry's menus), Nioh 3 is a great place to start if you're an action fan. Since the styles are so open-ended builds are much easier...
Let's start with the good. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined looks fantastic. From the diorama-like environments to the doll-like designs of its characters, everything gels well. With apologies to the improvements and changes in the HD-2D remakes, this kind of art style is much more my cup of tea. Reimainged feels...
There's a real dissonance between Highguard the idea – gearing up to duke it out over an artifact for the chance to assault the enemy's stronghold – and Highguard the game. It's executed quite well, and I've been enjoying my time with Highguard, but I can't help but feel there's...
Taking place shortly after the events of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Mega Dimension lets you encounter new characters, including Ansha and her Hoopa, which allows you to travel to Hyperspace Lumiose. Ansha really wants to find Rayquaza, which she spotted before arriving on Hotel Z's rooftop, and so Team MZ agrees...
Skate Story
When scoring requirements do appear, it’s usually in the guise of the game’s Moon bosses, which require you to chain tricks and build up a score combo, then stomp a finisher onto a target zone. Alternatively, downhill portal-hopping sessions feature objectives that unlock the way out, such as collecting symbols...
