Anyone who has been on the fence about jumping into Mantis Burn Racing for some friendly sprints might find that now is a great time to start.
… these tracks are designed to test those considerable skills you have been developing.
Road Rage might incite rage in the gamer, but for all the wrong reasons.
I wanted this game to be a success, I wanted it to be as fun as the trailer made it out to be, but I don't know the last time I played a game which made me prefer the option of turning off my console and going outside.
But it feels like instead of putting time into multiple engrossing levels to experience, the player is instead thrown into a handful of death-trap missions with inferior controls and volatile settings and told they should be having fun.
Lego The Incredibles simply does not meet up to the expectations its predecessors have set.
Nothing about the game feels tense or challenging, and completing missions within a minute makes it sadly forgettable.
While “It's just a game” is true of all games, it shouldn't feel like the key rationale to remember when playing.
It was fun to jump back into the Star Wars universe, but bringing back a game 17 years old with a minor graphical update simply isn’t going to work, especially for a fan base of gamers so critical of the source material.
Umiro is creative but short, and lacks staying power in its number of stages, replayability, and narrative.
I wasn't expecting this game to maintain its 21-year-old gaming philosophy of rinse and repeat.
Feather sets out to create the most relaxing and calming experience you can have in a game. With its varied yet mellow and uplifting soundtrack, its basic yet brightly colored visuals, and the great detail that goes into the rustling of the birds feathers, it can be quite a joy to soar through the air and practice trench runs through the cave tunnels. However, in designing a game to relax it’s also made with no stakes and no threats, so much of the serenity you experience after the initial elation of flight is from not feeling like there is an imminent threat at all.
I was ecstatic to see Enclave HD coming back. I have such fond memories of playing it twenty years ago, and I knew I was going into it with rose-tinted glasses; the characters, the levels, the gear, everything. We didn’t need Enclave HD to be a full-blown remaster, but with a little more love it could be something truly great. An homage to classic fantasy and adventure games. I enjoyed my time playing Enclave only because I already knew the game. I don’t feel like enough improvements have been made to hold a modern audience, regardless of how fun it used to be.
Airheart: Takes of Broken Wings is an enjoyable twin-stick shooter if you are looking for a colorful grind through the skies.
The game also attempts to push some boundaries which come off awkward rather than fun.
_______________________ “The heart and soul of the game is there, even in the tutorial, but it's simply too old.
I went from watching these same historical figures in Dynasty Warriors fight hordes of enemies with huge sweeping attacks, to watching them have polite debates and be sneaky little politicians.
God Eater 3 is a middling experience of ideas and gameplay that paradoxically work and don’t work.
If you enjoy the Warriors franchise this is a fantastic experience and a joy to get sucked into "just one more battle" but despite its new features it still feels stale.
the game falters for its repetitive scenery and total lack of tutorial or even on screen button cues.
