Exo One is a very original game on the PlayStation 5 and if you like games such as Marble Madness and Monkey Ball, then this title will be right up your alley. Just be warned that it may take some people time to master the mechanics behind the game but once you do (and if you do), you're literally flying through it.
Yum Yum Cookstar, though made from the remains of a Cooking Mama game, does its job as a low-price cooking game well enough, for better and worse.
The Talos Principle 2 Road to Elysium DLC Review (PS5) is an immersive, Mind Bending, Gorgeous Philosophical Puzzler!
If you loved the original, Windstorm Start of a Great Friendship Remastered almost feels like a different game and best of all its an affordably priced title. In the end, it is tailored at the younger gamer who loves horse riding of the Windstorm franchise that has been nicely recreated on the XSX.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a great rerelease of the 3DS classic and is able to make it even better through its graphical and gameplay renovations. It's nice to see something like this surface to a new audience and gain the love and appreciation that it may have not deserved with its earlier release. Although the game feels a bit more consumable in bite sized chomps, the enjoyment of apprehending these phantoms in bemusing ways is unique and incomparable to anything else. The structure may be restrictive and some quality of life features are sadly unaccounted for, but Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is far from a soul-sucking adventure and delivers by being a pleasure to play.
A must-play DLC expansion with an impressively hand-crafted new region filled with fun new quests, characters, and lore.
If your kids loved the previous game, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery is an updated and dare I say more enjoyable version that will allow children to become fully immersed in this enjoyable game from start to finish. Controls are well mapped and for the most part, the gaming mechanics are sturdy and require limited parental input. It's a kid game made with respect for the characters and the younger gamer.
On the surface, F1 24 doesn't seem to be all that different from last year's game.
If you can work around the resource supply issue… this is indeed a nice chill little game. It's not overly deep or taxing… but it's kind of nice watching your little town grow into a thriving city and the little fairy tale elements here or there just add another bit of charm to it all. It's not terribly expensive but it's not a huge game either so it's about the right point (but if you're not sure, just wait for a sale). Certainly worth a look if you want a city builder that's a bit less stressful and has some mild fantasy elements.
For the most part, Crown Wars: The Black Knight is a disappointing addition for a genre crying out for quality entries.
Wizardry Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlock is a fun walk down memory lane which successfully brings the original game in its entirety with updated graphics and slightly tweaked gameplay. Given that, this is not a remake of Wizardry but rather a remaster. Definitely for the gamer who is seeking that old school atmosphere without the old school graphics.
One Rabbit hole you'll want to take a trip down.
A brilliant sequel that's bound to be doing the rounds come awards season.
Mullet Madjack is a challenging, creative, and wonderful first person shooter homage to the 1990s that truly is something different. Every level is fun to tackle, with another bit of craziness always just lurking around the corner. Be prepared for unforgiving difficulty and literal restarts.
A solid console port for an absolute masterclass in how to remake a classic.
This all probably sounds a lot like Two Point at this point, and while I don't think it's entirely fair to say that Galacticare is just Two Point Hospital in space, it isn't that far from the truth. I don't think that's a bad thing either.
A creative merge of survival simulation, turn-based combat and tactical RPG.
Ultimately, if you’re a fan of the management simulation aspects of Wartales or like the mercantile lifestyle path especially, the tavern management gameplay systems that this expansion introduces may be for you. Highly recommended.
Masters of Light is definitely entertaining and uses its VR functions in creative ways. Fast thinking on your toes gameplay and combat encounters with continuously moving enemies makes you use your powers in a calculated and deliberate fashion. You never feel like you are in danger with unimposing opponents, but that mixed with the fun gameplay make it that much easier to dive back into the light if you ever get a game over. The frail story leaves you unsatisfied and jittery controls can cause some immediate issues with how well you are performing in a level, but the feedback of the tacit sounds and flow of the music keeps you moving and grooving throughout your galaxy hopping adventure. Given the subject manner, I wish Masters of Light was able to deliver another layer of tenacity. Even so, Masters of Light displays an exciting way to enter the VR space by giving you fun to use light powers that let you liberate the stars from the clutches of darkness.
A great one day player for the busy gamer. A story that is captivating and enthralling with a unique ending.
