Rebuilding Wishvale goes hand-in-hand with how you progress through the campaign. You’ll be able to install new structures and evolve the storyline in the life-sim module, but it depends on levels, which require you to play through the campaign. It’s a great way of mixing up the stories and having...
In the rare moments where I could scan for fun and learn more about the game, it ruled. But for the most part, scanning feels like a chore and can give away some puzzle solutions. It's not like you can avoid it either, as Metroid Prime 4 forces you to...
I appreciate that the roster isn't just diverse in terms of picks, but playstyles. For instance, some characters can fly, a select few can use grabs, and not all characters can block. It incentivizes using every single roster member you can find, especially ones that gel with your playstyle. Again,...
Total Chaos
Total Chaos’ audio is the undisputed star of the show. I can’t remember the last horror game I played with such exquisite sound design, from the trickling ambiance of a sewer corridor to the stomping of a massive beast behind its walls, and the screams of enemies seen and unseen...
In that sense, it's a joy to boot up and play from the first minute, as you can even skip the relatively short and comprehensive tutorial if you want. From there, you'll have the option to play one of the game's core modes: Air Ride (core racing), Top Ride (an...
I expect some folks will disagree, and failing a Forestrike Reality Run because of a split-second chug on your PC that trips your timing is demoralizing. Nothing stops you from avoiding that mode entirely, and there’s enough build diversity to enjoy finding new synergies at a reliable clip in the...
I admit that oversized expectations for quality metroidvanias persist in this absolutely stacked year. Two months since the release of the rightfully hallowed Hollow Knight: Silksong, Heart Machine’s fourth title Possessor(s) presents another 2D genre entry, only much smaller in scope. Published by Devolver Digital, Possessor(s) boasts a striking animated...
Developer and publisher Embark Studios is insistent on calling ARC Raiders an extraction adventure, rather than its more commonly used categorization as an extraction shooter. You do plenty of shooting – the latter is not misconstrued by any means – but the former does hew closer to what ARC Raiders...
What really struck me is how well Age of Imprisonment runs. It runs at a consistent 60 FPS, a huge step up from the inconsistent 30 FPS (or worse) in prior games on their original hardware at launch. It feels like we're finally in the era of Musou games running...
I was in basically from the intro onward. The tutorial sequence is simple but satisfying, as it showcases the multiple ways you can approach nearly every conflict. If you want to sneak by and try a pacifist run, you can do that for the most part. You can also go...
If you've never played Plants vs. Zombies before, think of it like a cartoonish tower defense with a ton of style and charm. You play as the plants, and with the help of sunflowers (and other resource-generating plants later on), you'll pick up sun, which is used as a currency...
For instance, enemies telegraph unlockable attacks, which can be often canceled by throwing out a quick Bloodraven ability. Bloodraven form serves multiple purposes, like breaking guards and taking out multiple enemies at once. It's all governed by its own meter, which is in addition to an additional Devil Trigger-like super...
