Few games have made me feel a true sense of nostalgia. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Hot Wheels growing up, but I had my fair share. Seeing Bone Shaker and Rip Rod in full-size as I jump 2000 feet through one of if not the best-looking video game landscapes...
As Dusk Falls
There is a great effort here from the developers to be as accessible as possible to all kinds of gamers, and they should be applauded for it. The options are numerous, from text to speech settings, on-screen UI options and additional helpful gameplay adaptions where things like QTE and choice...
So can I honestly recommend MX vs ATV Legends in its current state? Not really. The motocross bike races are being done better by the competition, the 4-wheeled vehicles are pretty smooth to drive but the game’s general inconsistency still makes them less fun than they should be, and at...
That’s it! What a long list of games in this well-put-together package. It’s a bit light on content outside of the games, but every option you could want is here, things run great, and the full package is a decent value. If you’ve got the itch to play through a...
In conclusion, if you are curious about this game, I think you should just jump in and experience it. If for nothing else besides going through this surreal and bizarre story. It’s definitely not the best story you will read, but I always find the journey through visual novel games...
Graphically the game looks pretty darned nice and it ran great for me on my Series X. Both with a purchase and with Game Pass you get the game on the Windows Store on PC as well with full cross-progression, saves, and buy. I was unable to test it before...
At $9.99 if you are jonesing for a hit of that old-time low-budget arcade nostalgia, I still can’t recommend this game. With a bland, uninteresting, and predictable story, repetitive and awful feeling combat, poor enemy variety, and the maddening decision to have no save system mixed with constant freezes and...
Fans of the series will feel right at home. Monkey Craft has put together a really nice package to celebrate Klonoa’s 25th birthday and everything has been executed really well. Right down to the menu screens which are simple, convenient and logical to navigate. At any stage you can jump...
Madison
MADiSON is a psychological horror game without any psychological horror. It has jump scares galore, and at least on PC, it’s also a completely broken mess for me before launch. I’d advise taking a wait-and-see approach for both PC and Console due to all of these issues. Priced at $35.99...
Arcadegeddon
Ultimately, Arcadegeddon hits all the right notes when it comes to the gameplay loop, even if originality isn’t its strongest suit. It chases popular trends like roguelike elements, hordes of enemies to take down in co-op, a looter shooter style of progression, and the usual game-as-a-service tricks for long-term engagement....
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is an incredible experience that everyone who possibly can should play through. The animation work is consistently jaw-dropping, with an imagination to it you have to see to truly understand. Ms. Chalice and the new weaponry and charms are an excellent addition to what was...
House Flipper
House Flipper is really fun and it’s a great addition to Game Pass. It’s an Xbox Play anywhere title and available on both console and PC. The UI works best on the latter but the game is still a hell of a relaxing time on the former. Grab your bucket...
