Redfall Review - Dull Fangs

Redfall Review -  Dull Fangs

Redfall is a game that doesn’t do enough to really stand out as it’s currently failing to provide even the basics in elements that define it. It’s a jumbled mess with only a handful of appealing traits keeping it fun enough to finish the main campaign. It looks like Arkane Studios strayed too far from the light with this one and is not something I would recommend.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Review - New Islands, New Friends, New Toys

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Review - New Islands, New Friends, New Toys

The Burning Shores DLC is an epilogue add-on that’s filled with rich content that felt completed, as opposed to, say, a jumble of leftover parts. Though it only adds just a little more context to the base game’s conclusion, it’s still worth taking the ride if you want more of Horizon Forbidden West.

Dead Island 2 Review - Stuck in the Past

Dead Island 2 Review - Stuck in the Past

Dead Island 2 failed to stand out as the original game did since there are now a good amount of zombie-themed titles that are more than capable of scratching this particular itch. It feels so late in the game that other games like it have evolved and experimented with different concepts while this series is still trying to get back on its feet.

Minecraft Legends Review - For Mobs and Overworld

Minecraft Legends Review - For Mobs and Overworld

Minecraft Legends is a fun strategy built around the Minecraft world, and it’s easy to grasp. Fans will get a kick out of the base campaign (especially with a friend or two), It just has its limitations and mechanics that could lead to frustration.

Resident Evil 4 Review - Peak Resident of Evil

Resident Evil 4 Review - Peak Resident of Evil

Resident Evil 4 is another example of why I appreciate remakes, as it revitalizes the love for a beloved title. This game was delivered in such a way to not only appease veteran fans but also to welcome those who have experienced the series only through the previous remakes.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Review - When It Comes to Final Fantasy, It’s Never Final

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Review - When It Comes to Final Fantasy, It’s Never Final

If a hardcore rhythm game where cardboard cutouts of Cloud, Lightning, Vivi, and Terra leap into the air to critical attack and dance at the end of songs sounds like your jam, you’ll most definitely enjoy tapping and sliding as you headbang through Theatrhythm Final Bar Line.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate Review - Reach for the Stars with this Glorious Remaster

Sonic Colors: Ultimate Review - Reach for the Stars with this Glorious Remaster

While Sonic Colors Ultimate is still plagued with a few frustrating moments, Sonic veterans know that these games are platformers at heart and not just a quick dash to the finish. If you’re a fan of the blue blur, it’s worth giving this game a shot.

Metroid Prime Remastered Review - Possibly the Greatest-ever 3D Metroidvania

Metroid Prime Remastered Review - Possibly the Greatest-ever 3D Metroidvania

Metroid Prime Remastered goes above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for the player. It is an incredible remaster in every sense of the word. In fact, it may rank alongside Rez HD as one of the best HD remasters I’ve ever played, as it is incredibly faithful to the original, more accessible, and beautiful both visually and aurally.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! Review - A Densely-Packed 1860s Epic

Like a Dragon Ishin! is a game that you'll definitely enjoy if you've already fallen in love with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's tried and tested formula, as everything that made Yakuza such a hit series feels intact. It just has a few issues with some features that aren’t fleshed out enough to really show its true potential.

Hi-Fi Rush Review - A Rhythmic Masterpiece

Hi-Fi Rush Review - A Rhythmic Masterpiece

Hi-Fi Rush was a good start for 2023 as this was a masterfully-done rhythm action game that we have not seen or played before. It’s one of those gems that only come around once in a blue moon, and while I know 2023 just started, I would without a doubt put Tango Gamework’s latest work as a Game of the Year contender.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn Review - Improved in Every Single Way

Tactics Ogre: Reborn Review - Improved in Every Single Way

The fact that the developers implemented so many quality of life changes while simultaneously maintaining the game’s charms with such finesse makes Tactics Ogre Reborn stand tall and easily become one of the biggest surprises this year, as I didn’t think I would have so much fun with a strategy RPG released over 25 years ago.
