Sonic Colors  |
Rating of: 3/5

"Sonic Colors"
|
|
Sonic reinvents himself by taking cues from the past making a 3D/2D hybrid reminsicent of his origins on the Sega Megadrive. The addition of special "powers" that unlock new areas give it replay value but it's still possible to race through the game pretty easily if you're not that bothered about exploration. It's certainly a solid platformer but it doesn't hold a candle to its main competition, ... |

| Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Intentionally Butchered
|
|
“Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince” (“The Dark Prince”) is, in Japan at least, the third mainline, numbered entry in the ‘Dragon Quest Monsters’ spinoff of ‘Pokemon’-esque monster taming RPGs. Apparently the mostly-unlocalized entries in the series, like “Caravan Heart” and the trio of ‘Joker’ DS/3DS titles don’t count – and for good reason.
After being a fan ... |

Parkour TO THE MAX
|
|
Even though Insomniac Games is widely known for their Sony/Playstation output - from Ratchet & Clank to the more recent and well-received Spider-Man games, in 2014 with the Xbox One badly in need of some truly standout exclusives, they struck a deal and Sunset Overdrive became one of the handful of games to be released solely on the system. It received mostly favorable reviews, sold decently and ... |

| The Vagrant |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Sincere Imitation, Flattery Achieved
|
|
Inspiration leads can lead to imitation - and O.T.K. Games, inspired by the Vanillaware look and feel of titles like Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade, has delivered unto us The Vagrant. While maybe not quite as polished as the more major studio, The Vagrant is still a solid and, more importantly, quite fun 2D platformer with very well designed characters, enemies and levels - not bad for... |

Grind the Rail
|
|
miHoYo, otherwise known as HoYoverse, made their name in a big way with the release of Genshin Impact in 2020. Part open-world RPG, part gatcha, part game-as-a-service - taken together as a whole, it became a worldwide hit that is still going strong today. But why have just one game when you can have more? Since I missed out on the bus and didn't feel like jumping in halfway, I thought I would gi... |

Belongs in Davey Jones’ Locker
|
|
Back in 2013, Ubisoft was a hive of scum and villainy, pushing crappy games that never made it onto my radar… that is to say, they were effectively the same as they are now. Yes, Ubisoft did go through a bit of a Renaissance during the last decade, but after spending a few years on the top, they’re back down on the bottom. What’s even more amusing about the last decade of Ubisoft is that it... |

| Tiny Tina's Wonderlands |
Rating of: 3.5/5

Just Like Tabletop…
|
|
“Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands” (“Wonderlands”) began life as an “Assault on Dragon Keep”-style DLC expansion for “Borderlands 3”… But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and threw wrenches into nearly everyone’s business. “Wonderlands” suddenly shifted from a typical Gearbox development cycle to being entirely remotely developed. In the process, the project allegedly exceeded its ... |

| Cthulhu Saves Christmas |
Rating of: 4/5
|
Deck the Halls with Tentacles
|
|
Cthulhu Saves Christmas is an old-school throw-back turned-based parody RPG done right. This games is a prequel to Cthulhu Saves the World. Once again, Cthulhu loses his powers and embarks on a quest to save Christmas in the hopes Santa Claus can give him his powers back as a gift. The narrative is hilariously twisted with remarks and comments from Cthulhu, combined with plenty of festive (or n... |

A Breath of Fresh Adventure

Breath of the Wild deviates from the traditional Zelda formula and storytelling. Set in the new expansive kingdom of Hyrule, Link awakens from a century-long slumber and needs to recover his memories and slowly discovers he needs to defeat the menacing Calamity Ganon and save Hyrule. The story unfolds gradually and non-linearly, allowing players to uncover the mysteries of the world at their own... |
