    Hopefully the first footstep (or in this case, wingflap) toward flying back into the larger Panzer Dragoon world. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 29]

    If you were hoping for the second coming of NBA Jam, or at least something you and your friends can enjoy, you won't it find here. [Issue #28 – July/August 2017, p. 19]

    There is a Sephiroth parody named Chefinoff, and that's enough to give it a pass in my book. [Issue #47 – July/August 2020, p. 24]

    More of a free-friendly mobile game than its predecessors in the Nintendo-aligned app space. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 28SW]

    Sadly, about 10% of the game stands in the way of enjoying the other 90. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 63]

    Though it can't quite hide the fact that it's a 2011 game here in 2015, the new amiibo support and the strength of the existing game design have combined to make Assault Horizon Legacy+ a winner for a second time. [Issue #14: Old vs. New – March/April 2015, p.70]

    Folks that are attracted to these superfast future racers will likely love Redout 2 and generally forgive its curious design choices, but most gamers will want to steer clear of this one. [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 21]

    Super Bomberman R is far from a bad game, but it clearly needed more time in the oven. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 68]

    Developer Sanzaru Games seems to have taken the criticisms of Shattered Crystal to heart. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.22M]

    Mario Sports Superstars is not the ultimate collection of athletic adaptations some were hoping for. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 71]

    As someone who's played every version of Minecraft to date, this New 3DS edition is the one I'm going to come back to the least. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 28E]

    Overall, LEGO Dimensions takes the LEGO gaming experience to its logical next level – perhaps beyond. [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.64]

    World's End Club is more interesting than it is traditionally "good," so how much you're able to invest in this kind of story will determine how much enjoyment you'll be able to get out of your time with it. When you really break it down, most aspects of the game leave a lot to be desired, but for the right audience, World's End Club will be more than the sum of its parts.

    As a lifelong Ranger fan, I still feel that this is a pretty good package as far as budget titles go. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 19]

    One of the most esoteric games I've ever played, I can only recommend Gal Metal to the narrowest set of musically blessed Japanophiles around. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 23]

    Hopefully there will be a Volume 2, because Konami has a deeper catalog of iconic arcade hits than one collection can contain. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 20]

    This definitely won't be the last game to feature Goku and his pals, though, so skip this warmed-over patty and sit tight for a juicy Angus on a toasted pretzel bun. [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.68]

    In spite of its faults, there's a lot to love about Skelattack, and I'd definitely play a sequel. With more polish, this world would be worth revisiting. [Issue #48 – September/October 2020, p. 26]

    Criticizing this art piece based on the standard semantics of most video games doesn't do it justice. While there is a story and a goal, and you use a controller to make the character interact with the world, this isn't really a game to be judged alongside Mario and Zelda. If you like the art, you should get the game to experience just how far the artists take the medium. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 20]

    If you're looking for a title that is written for the modern romance game fan and/or dog lover in mind, this one is worth fetching. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 22]

    Only X8 makes Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 worthy of serious consideration. [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 65]

    Mario Party: The Top 100 has its joyous moments, but it can't top 2016's Star Rush. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 34E]

    It's just you, a virtual catalog of different generically themed LEGOs, billions of bricks and your imagination to use as you wish, whether it be build or explore. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 63]

    As a first installment in a planned episodic series, it leaves a bit to be desired. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.21]
