Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds  |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
"Marvel vs Capcom 3"
|
|
Visually striking beat 'em up featuring a roster of characters of varying quality; the Marvel superheroes are done well but some of their Capcom counterparts don't really work. It's also a little over-reliant on projectiles and special moves and the fact that the most spectacular of these are activated by a single button press feels unsatisfying. On the whole though it's fast-paced, addictive and... |

| Warhammer: Chaosbane |
Rating of: 2/5

BORE-hammer: Chaos-BANAL
|
|
Outside of Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer is one of the oldest, biggest, and longest-running tabletop gaming IPs out there. Unlike D&D, however, Warhammer has never had much in the way of a cRPG presence, probably because the IP is, at its core, a Wargame. While there have been continuous efforts for decades to launch Role-Playing, Skirmish, and other smaller-scale tabletop spinoffs, Warhammer as ... |

| Hogwarts Legacy |
Rating of: 4/5
|
The Magic and the Mundane
|
|
A lot of huffing and puffing was made when Hogwarts Legacy debuted - but that controversy didn't seem to be much of hindrance as the game became the most popular of 2023. It's easy to see why - who wouldn't want to be their own wizard (or witch) in the truly magical world of Harry Potter? It also proves the single-player games are still worth their weight in gold - a lesson, alas, that Warner Bro... |

| Forza Horizon |
Rating of: 4/5
|
|
The Forza series ditches Gran Turismo purity for Need For Speed style thrills and it works well. A refreshing change of pace that breathed new life into the series. |

| Tiny Tina's Wonderlands |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
Budget Fantasy Borderlands
|
|
Gearbox has found their bread-and-butter with the Borderlands series. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands started life as the DLC Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep before being fully fleshed out as its own stand-alone game. That being said, while Dragon's Keep was certainly entertaining, stretching that out as an entire game doesn't capture that same feel and while there are some things that Wonderlands doe... |

| Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes |
Rating of: 2/5

“SUCK-oden or Suiko-DONE.”
|
|
Back in the Plague Year of 2020, we had to look hard and overturn every stone in order to find tidbits of good news. One of those tidbits was that Yoshitaka Murayama, the former Konami studio director behind the first two ‘Suikoden’ games was starting an Indie development studio called Rabbit and Bear, and that said studio’s first game would be a spiritual successor to ‘Suikoden’ called... |

| House Party |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
There's a Party in My Pants and YOU'RE Invited!
|
|
It has been a long road for House Party - released in early access waaaaay back in 2017 and savaged by the few critics who reviewed it (House Party still likes to advertise the Rock, Paper, Shotgun review calling it the worst game of 2017) but it was wildly popular in its initial release in 2018. Oh, it helps that the game is essentially an adventure where the main objective is to sleep with as m... |

Rating of: 4/5

How Many Idiots Does it Take to Rescue Olimar?
|
|
“Pikmin 4” is the 2023 sequel in Shigeru Miyamoto’s bizarre gardening-inspired series about tiny astronauts exploring gigantic environments with the help of the titular plant-creatures. While the original game was an unknown quantity, it became an unexpected hit for the Gamecube, and spawned a truly definitive sequel within the same generation. Alas, the only ‘Pikmin’ games to hit the W... |
