Star Fox is a faithful remake, but at the end of the day, it’s just Star Fox. It’s fun for a bit, then it will probably sit on the shelf for a long time. I think a remake of an F-Zero game would have been a better choice.

The controls are so bad and so poorly designed, that I can’t even play the game properly. The world is really cool, but between the bad writing and awful controls, bloated menu, overcomplicated mechanics and the fact that this game runs like garbage, I think a 5/10 is generous.

Imagine a slow-paced Vanquish mixed with Resident Evil. That’s Pragmata. However, Pragmata gets old and repetitive very quickly. It’s decent, but not reflective of the Metacritic score. It runs really well on the Switch 2, but the game is not on the cartridge.

The original GameCube version was meh and so isn’t this one. Honestly, I don’t underatand the praise. The game really isn’t all that great.

A good, fast-paced game that is almost ruined by a terrible stamina system and poor difficulty balancing. Khazan, in my opinion, would instantly be a 9/10 if they removed stamina completely and just kept a posture system like in Sekiro. A game like this suffers from stamina… especially poorly-designed stamina. Overall, though, I enjoyed my time with it, despite the frustrations. And, a word of advice in the future: don’t copy Nioh. Nios ****.

First of all, this game runs really well on the Switch 2. I was surprised. It does suffer from frame rate stuttering in quite a few places, but overall a really solid port. In RE7 and Grace’s segments, the horror is derived from your helplessness. Once you know the AI's patrol path, the "fear" evaporates and you're left with a scripted chore. It’s a puzzle with only one solution: patience. Conversely, RE4 Remake and Village (with Ethan’s expanded arsenal) treat encounters like a tactical playground. You decide if you're sniping from a distance, using a shotgun to crowd-control, or parrying to set up a melee hit. Because you can fight back, the AI reacts to you, making every playthrough feel slightly different based on your aim, ammo count, and positioning. In the Leon/Ethan games, the "fun" comes from the economy. Finding a treasure feels great because it means a faster reload or more power. In Grace’s sections, a treasure is almost meaningless because you're still just waiting behind a crate for a zombie to turn around. In short, Grace’s sections, while scary, are also boring. Leon’s sections, while hollow compared to RE2 and RE4, are way more fun and rewarding. To give this game a 10/10 is absurd.

I tried to give this game a chance. I really did. But Silent Hill f is a tedious, boring mess. Stamina, focus and weapon degradation are all things that have no business being in a Silent Hill game. And they aren’t even done right. Combat is clunky, tedious and boring. And therein lies the issue: all of those things are in this game because it ISN’T a Silent Hill game. Silent Hill f is a game that was made and someone decided to slap the Silent Hill name on it to sell copies. After how amazing the Silent Hill 2 remake was, how on earth can anyone enjoy Silent Hill f? Critics HAD to be paid off to give this game a good review. I refuse to believe legit gamers like this game. I genuinely don’t understand. I guess people just have low standards and more than likely never played Silent Hill back in the day. And people complain about Silent Hill Homecoming being bad? Homecoming is a masterpiece compared to Silent Hill f. Maybe if Silent Hill f was sold as the indie horror game that it is, I could see giving it a bit higher score than a 3/10. But as it is right now, it really doesn’t deserve anything higher. Shame on anyone who likes or supports this game.

Great story, fun Kombat, great voice acting (except Meagan Fox, who is terrible), and, best of all, Havik is back. I also really enjoyed Alan Lee’s portrayal of Shang Tsung. Easily one of the best characters in any of the recent games. I had to take off points for the awful “Invasions” mode. It is repetitive, unrewarding, poorly done, overly-difficult, tedious and the Invasions (and the menus) run at 30 fps. Whoever decided to get rid of the Kypt and add Invasions in should not have a job.

10/10. I don’t care what the Ocaria of Time fanboys say. This is the best Zelda game to date. I was around when the original launched on the NES. I was around during A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo. I got Ocarina of Time on launch day. I got Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on launch day. I was there for the unveiling of Skyward Sword. I was the first person in my city to get an orignal Switch and Breath of the Wild on launch day. I even named my daughter Zelda. I did. That’s 100% true. I have literally been playing Zelda games for 40 years and Tears of the Kingdom is, in my opinion, the best yet. It’s ok to like good games, you know…

10/10. I don’t care what the Ocaria of Time fanboys say. This game is amazing.

A decent game with a good story, but it just isn’t Hyrule Warriors. It is repetitive and boring after a while. The combat isn’t up to par, either. Nothing will compare to the original game.

Yet another boring Outer Worlds game. Obsidian seems to have the ingredients to make a great game, but they don’t seem to know how go usesaid ingredients properly.

Despite its few flaws, Lies of P is an absolute gem **** and one not to be missed. It can easily rival the best that FromSoftware has to offer, and, in my many years if playing Souls game, I can say that it even surpasses FromSoftware titles. This is the single-best Souls clone I have ever played. This game is overflowing with lore and potential for anyone who plays it to discover. Yes, the game can be extremely frustrating, but the good oushines the bad every time, leaving us with an amazing game. I can’t wait to see what else Neowiz & Round8 have to offer.I’m convinced that people and companies who didn’t give this game a high score don’t understand how to play Souls games, nor do they appreciate what Lies of P did. Sad, really, because Lies of P is better than Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring or any Dark Souls game, and that’s saying a lot. It took me a long time to admit that but it’s true.

Another FAST game, another tip-of-the-cap to F-Zero and WipEout and another great installment. The game looks great, runs really well, and the fusion and jump mechanics are awesome. I just wish there were more vehicles. Fast RMX, while great, was too fast for its courses. Fast Fusion found a good balance... mostly. Unfortunately, like with Fast RMX, keeping the same courses for all three speeds sometimes backfires. Sometimes you go way too fast in hypersonic for the track and it creates a big issue. Another huge issue is the awful rubber-banding in this game. No matter how fast you go, and no matter how perfectly you drive, the AI is right up your butt and they constantly spin you out. It really takes away a lot of enjoyment. They released a patch addressing it but honestly, they need to release another patch. Overall, this is a great game that is absolutely worth your time, but it could use more content and machines, and the awful rubber-banding needs to be addressed. This game is more fun than Mario Kart World, though.

I really don’t see why this game is so praised. It’s pretty boring and lacks so much depth. It is repetitive and runs actually pretty poorly. The frame rate stutters a lot. I wish they would do two things with DK: 1) Redo his eyes so he doesn’t look drugged out and 2) Stick to 2.5 D platforming games. Like Sonic, 3D DK games just aren’t very good. I genuinely don’t understand the praise for this game. I’m convinced people don’t understand gaming anymore.

As far as roguelikes go, Hades 2 is decent. But given how shallow these types of games are, I can’t justify anyone giving it a 10/10. It may be a 10/10 for the genre, but for an actual video game, it isn’t even close.

Mario Kart World is decent, but lacks innovative track design and any semblance of balance. Rubber-banding is always present in Mario Kart games, but it can get bad. Mario Kart 64 may be the worst, though. I have a few burning questions: Why do the cc’s matter at all for difficulty? Why can’t we just select the cc’s and difficulty as separate things? What happened to mirror mode or 200 cc mode? Why don’t they just finally do a Nintendo Kart and have Link, Zelda, Captain Falcon, Fox, Kirby, Samus, Diddy, etc. instead of ridiculous characters like baby characters and NPC-type characters? Why did they limit the amount of options for gameplay? Why is the A button used for accelerate? So I can get carpal tunnel in my thumb? Mario Kart World has such potential, but at the end of the day, Mario Kart 8 is better in every way. Mario Kart World feels… souless.

Despite its rough start, Cyberpunk 2077 has turned into one of the best games I have ever played. A solid story, good FPS mechanics, good weapons, fantastic graphics, amazing lighting, good (now) technical performance, vibrant characters, great voice acting and on top of everything, CDPR did an amazing job working with real city planners to design Night City. It’s a very vibrant, in-depth, realistic city. While I do enjoy GTA, mixing that with the Cyberpunk aesthetic is something special. The game may still have bugs and glitches, but no more than any other open-world RPG. The game was just a great experience that stuck with me. I can’t imagine not giving this game a 10/10. It deserves it. I don’t know what game I would be saving a perfect score for otherwise.

Overall, a good Souls game that lacks some polish. I liked the story, characters, customization and the ability to bring a companion with you if you want. While the level design is nothing special, I enjoyed unlocking all of the sections of the maps. Stamina drains way too fast, though, and healing takes way too long. When you need to heal during a boss fight, it feels almost impossible because it is so slow and the boss constantly targets you and not your partner. Otherwise, the game is much better than the scores it got. I feel like people who give this game low scores did so because they are not good at the game. Maybe they should not play Souls games?

Not horrible but not great, either. Just a boring game with some instances of fun. Sort of.

Even today, F-Zero GX is still the best racing game of all time. Nintendo would be foolish to not make a new F-Zero.

Another great SpongeBob game from Purple Lamp. While I enjoyed the locations in Cosmic Shake a bit better, the characters and story are more vibrant in this game. The combat and platforming are significantly better this game than Battle for Bikini Bottom or Cosmic Shake. Titans of the Tide provides a decent challenge for being a SpongeBob game. One complaint I have are the various glitches/bugs. The game needs to be ironed out a little. Otherwise, the game is great. Oh, and there is a Dark Souls reference and a live-action video featuring David Hasselhoff, so that’s pretty awesome…

I found the game good but a bit boring. I think more could have been done to not only give you freedom, but immerse you in the game.

One thing people need to stop doing is comparing Tormented Souls to old-school Resident Evil. Totmented Souls was, and still is, a tip-of-the-cap to old-school Silent Hill. Especially Tormented Souls II. Every little nuance, the music, the characters, the puzzles, going into an alternate dimension; it’s all Silent Hill. Tormented Souls 2 is another great game, but unlike the first Tormented Souls, Tormented Souls 2 suffers from unbalanced difficulty, ammo & health that is a little too scarce, multiple enemies at once (which makes you dump your ammo) and they have this bad habit of tossing you into boss fights with no health or ammo. I don’t forsee them balacing the game like the first Tormented Souls, which is too bad.

While nothing will compare to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, CrossWorlds is a worthy contender with good ideas. The game is held back a little by an unbalanced difficulty, slight handling issues, shallow customization options, limited content and lackluster track designs, but otherwise, CrossWorlds is one of the best in the franchise.

While Ghost of Yotei is not quite as good with combat as Ghost of Tsushima, Yotei excels in characters, dialogue and weapons. Both games have deep, fantastic stories, both play the same basic way and both games will take up a lot of your time. Yotei is an amazing experience. You will not be disappointed with it. I think Tsushima may edge Yotei out because Yotei’s combat is extremely unbalanced and frustrating. Enemies block and side-step you 99% of the time, making combat tedious.

This is one of the better games I’ve played in a long, long time. Great story, incredibly creative, great gameplay, great voice acting and great graphics. It was fun and interesting the entire way through. There is no reason to complain about this game, but there are always people who are never satisfied. Ignore them.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a game that borrows from Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and maybe a little Metroid sprinkled in. While the game doesn’t do anything better than those other games, it still brings enough to the table to warrant a playthrough. The game has an interesting story, awesome atmosphere, amazing sound effects and tense, 80’s-inspired horror sci-fi music that is marred by poor combat, overly-scarce ammo, no strafe button, repetitive enemies and poor balancing. I’m ok with them not including a difficulty setting, but they really do need to balance the game better. The final boss really highlights how unbalanced this game really is. Still, this game was a pleasant surprise. If you’re looking for a new horror game right now, go with this game over Silent Hill f. Silent Hill f is awful.

This game is a wonderful, beautifully-crafted, unique experience. I enjoyed every second I spent with this game. Great characters, voice acting, quests, personality, loot, combat and gameplay. It captures the essence of Harry Potter perfectly. Judging the hard work that was put into this game because of what the author of the books said is incredibly childish. Wired made complete fools of themselves with their idiotic review. This is not only one of the best RPGs I have ever played, but it is one of the best games I have ever played in general. Ignore the clowns who hate this game because of comments JK Rowling made, which has nothing to do with this game.
