Hades

Hades

Hades is a blast to play from minute one, an action packed Rogue-like that rewards you constantly, and it feels like it never lets up on what you’re able to dig into. Every run is a joy, every death means I get to see my friends back at home, and then I would head back out there to push through to the end, to allow Zagreus to, well, you’ll have to see it for yourself.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur is the latest remaster from THQ Nordic. While it doesn’t have the same rebuilt visuals as some of their more recent remasters, the boosted resolution and framerate do make it the best looking version of the game. Sadly, the game is also loaded with a bevy of glitches and bugs that hurt the overall product. It’s not a terribly well crafted remaster, but the game is still as fun as its ever been.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster

The Suicide of Rachel Foster

The Suicide of Rachel Foster can certainly deal with some intense topics through its roughly 3 hour length. Nicole, a character you’ll get to know all too well, has lived with the knowledge that her father had an affair with a very young girl, a young woman who couldn’t take the pressure in her life and thus committed suicide. Or, at least, that is the official story. As Nicole heads out to the hotel once owned by her family, she’ll uncover a mystery to the truth, even if she desperately doesn’t want to know it.

Marvel's Avengers

Marvel's Avengers

While the finished game is far more functional, it’s still littered with numerous bugs, crashing at least once or twice a day for myself, and a game that is lacking in polish across the board. Now, that said, I’ve certainly found enjoyment across both its single-player campaign and its online offerings, but there are a lot of caveats that have to be addressed as the game is certainly lacking in its current form

Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail

Naruto showed us what an authentic and satisfying anime adaption can be like in video game form with Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, a game I still consider to be one of the best anime to game adaptions so far. It captured the anime perfectly and made the action and combat feel exactly how it needed to. It’s a shame that Fairy Tail, which is just as much of an explosive and high energy series as Naruto, didn’t get this type of game.
