Sadly, the game initially bombed when it first released in 2005 as an exclusive for the original Xbox, and could have easily been swept away with other platforming also-rans (remember Blinx: The Time Sweeper or Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, anyone?). But it had far more going for it thanks to its...
It makes sense for the medium really, since a lot of games are about repeating challenges and learning from them until you get better. And there has certainly been a more noticeable trend for time loops recently, from this year’s PS5 blockbuster Returnal to upcoming assassination shooter Deathloop, while another Annapurna...
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword gets plenty of hate these days as a late release on the Wii when most people had gotten over motion controls. Many argue this Zelda entry hasn’t aged well, especially compared to a game-changing masterpiece like Breath of the Wild, or even two other...
