Anybody who cut their teeth on the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy should feel those reflexes return after a few hours with Ragebound. Nuanced aspects of those NES games reveal themselves, like memorizing the precise distance of your sword slash or enemy knockback, especially those designed to casually nudge Kenji into...
Tales of the Shire
There’s no way to progress individual relationships outside shared meals, so if players focus more on the main story, milestone cutscenes between characters later on become odd. After spending weeks being integral to the village campaign, I got cutscenes with my neighbors about how I’d just arrived and that they...
There's also no shortage of risk-reward elements, and leaning into specific offensive capabilities tends to come with interesting costs. A frequent build-up of Madness makes you take more damage from enemy attacks, but it also opens up plenty of opportunities in your skill tree, giving you a greater chance to...
Hell Clock
Hell Clock’s isometric view might make it appear like a twin-stick roguelite, but the game is all crunchy numbers under the hood. You start off with ten available skills, which can be configured into any of up to five active slots. Mixing these abilities soon reveals synergies, along with accumulated...
Donkey Kong: Bananza
This freedom is even the case for specific level mechanics, including brightly colored goo that can be destroyed to create objects in a different space. You can interact with the game as intended, or spice things up and try to go at it a different way with a power-up/form, or...
College Football 26's Ultimate Team mode continues to be what it was in last year's game, and has been in Madden for years: a polarizing grind with a monetization problem. For some, the grind of Ultimate Team mode is appealing, and I can understand the general appeal of climbing the...
Activision has officially announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, a comprehensive remake of the iconic skateboarding titles. Developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, this collection revamps the original games with enhanced 4K visuals, smoother animations, and improved lighting effects. Players can skate as legends like Tony Hawk and Rodney...
At any given time, it feels as though there are a million resources you’re falling short on, storage that’s quickly reaching capacity, and not enough hands to go around for all the work that needs to be done. Unfortunately, it was occasionally more overwhelming than it was enjoyable, even on...
Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is very much its predecessor's sequel, being a direct continuation of the story and adapting its gameplay systems wholesale, but it does make an effort to improve on the novelty and excellence of Death Stranding. The bizarre, post-cataclysmic delivery game deconstructs some...
The game is primarily split between bouts of combat, demon maintenance, and exploring each cloistered region for NPC chatter and the occasional bonus quest, or “case.” Those scare quotes are intentional, since the bulk of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army’s side quests are one-off blips which barely...
FBC: Firebreak
Each of the five stages comes in three clearance levels, starting with a tutorial version and progressing to two additional iterations. While all three clearance levels of a job start in the same area and present the same basic objective, each one unlocks a new door to continue deeper. Firebreak's...
Although I was initially intrigued, I found my eyes glazing over whenever a new dialogue scene started up. Often, I find myself rushing through combat to get to dialogue scenes in better story-rich games, especially ones that allow me to participate in the conversation. Here, I found myself speed reading...
