Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Ubisoft open world loot-and-shoot game that works. No, really! My 12Â 24+ hours playing the full version of The Division 2 pretty much instilled my faith in loot-and-shoot games with open environments to faff about in. Granted, it's not going to take much to impress people after they're burned out by Destiny ...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Anime open-world action adventure game that needed 1 more year of polish If there's one thing you can count on from Kohei Tanaka, is that his anime/video game compositions and work can elevate even the most subpar experiences to epic heights. Much like how Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, and C Paul Johnson did wi...
Who knew a simple melee twin-stick action stealth game could be presented in such a jazzy fashion? In a game about a gorilla escaping, of all things? That's Ape Out in all of its pastel glory, presented in minimalistic colours ala Saul Bass and with a jazz soundtrack full of wild percussions inspired by films like Whiplash (sans teacher abuse). Li...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Puzzle game where you figure out a 100 ways to kill a demon; of course it's an action game! For a good amount of time in the 90s and even the 2000s, Capcom was at their prime with arcade and action games galore. But let's focus more on the latter. After the first Devil May Cry was released to much acclaim in 200...
In our last LTTP column where we talk about games we missed a year ago, we talked about an anime game in Yakuza clothing. This week, we have an indie darling that's wearing the coattails of Sword Arts Online. But unlike the Bandai Namco games based on the franchise, the game we're talking about is actually good. CrossCode (PC, and Nintendo Switch) ...
I've had mixed feelings about past Marvel Cinematic Universe movies before, including the likes of Ant-Man And The Wasp and Thor: The Dark World. However, those movies were still enjoyable to a degree, while Captain Marvel has left me simply whelmed, which best encapsulates my overall thoughts and feelings when the credits were rolling. What does ...
Platform(s): PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: 3D Fighting Game With Unlockable Fan Service & "Natural Motion" Trust Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja to pull a bait-and-switch on the Western media. Just when they're about to change their ways with a dressed-up Kasumi with dirt on her face, they basically went back to their old ways with the game's improved "n...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: FPS Outpost-Liberating Simulator Remember Breaking Bad actor Michael Mando's iconic turn as Vaas in Far Cry 3, when he uttered what is now one of the most legendary monologues and antagonist introductions in gaming history: "Did I tell ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact...
Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Team-Based Battle Royale With Heroes Apex Legends feels like a byproduct of a threesome between Overwatch, Titanfall 2 and Call of Duty Black Ops IIII's Blackout. As a result, it's a beast on all fronts. The gunplay is good with many nuances throughout and each 'Legend' is unique in their own right which would ca...
Update: We finally assigned a score to the game after checking out the game post-Day One patch. Update #2: It's been 8 months, and so far there are no signs of this game being improved in any significant way. Kakuchopurei has made some changes to the review to reflect this sentiment. Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One Genre: Loot-And-Shoot Action R...
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: 3v3 Fighting Game Shonen Manga Fan Wet Dream If this review's title is of any indication, this anime fighting game has it all: heroes and villains from your favourite Shonen Jump manga for the past 51 years. Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, My Hero Academia, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Blac...
Platforms: Xbox One, PC (via Windows 10) Genre: Booming Action Open World Orb-Collectathon To answer your question first-hand: yes, this is the long-sought apology for Crackdown 2 eons ago. Better late than never, right? For those who are lost, here's the gist: the first Crackdown game is basically Grand Theft Auto III featuring a super-powered A...
It's really, REALLY hard to talk about Bandai Namco's long-running action-RPG big game-killing sci-fi series God Eater without mentioning the giant-sized reptile in the room: the Monster Hunter games. God Eater is essentially the company's anime-stylized dystopian future-esque response to Capcom's sole money maker (it sure as heck isn't Street Fig...
Just like the long rumoured live-action versions of Evangelion and Robotech/Macross, for years James Cameron's Battle Angel Alita only existed as hopeful fan discussions around what the director of Terminator, Aliens and Avatar could achieve when he turned his artistic talents to an adaptation of Yukito Kishiro's manga classic. Since Cameron has a...
The first Lego Movie was, quite simply, awesome. A stunning mix of a hilarious unpredictable script, a great cast and fun metafictional elements all wrapped up in an amazing animation style that brought the Danish construction bricks and minifigs to life like never before. The only thing that could be more awesome would be a sequel, right? Well, t...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, JRPG Can a game live up to the unbridled level of anticipation and hype which has been slowly building over 14 years, from a franchise which initially began almost two decades ago? The Kingdom Hearts franchise merits a sense of nostalgia and furore unrivalled by arguably any other game franchise. If you're ...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Survival Horror, Action, Third-Person Shooter Resident Evil, once the mighty giant of the survival horror genre, has faltered in recent years, only recently re-establishing itself again after 2017's Resident Evil 7. With the Resident Evil 2 remake, has Capcom managed to build on that momentum or is it...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Arcade Flight Simulator, Action, Vehicular Combat Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown brings back a genre long-lost in the steady stream of mindless battle royales and MOBAs saturating the market; the arcade flight sim. It's been a whopping 12 years since the last major numbered entry in Ace Combat franchise, excluding...
For all of M.Night Shyamalan's flaws in his previous work sans The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, I have to admire the guy. He's one of those auteurs who relishes in what he does when stamping his trademarks on his directed films, even if it means derision and picking apart from critics. At the very least, his recent works The Visit and Split are co...
After more than three decades, Dragon Ball fans will finally get the film they want: Dragon Ball Super Broly, the movie that will add two previously fan favourite non-canon characters into the Toriyama-sanctioned universe. Three if you count Goku & Vegeta's new fusion from the Fusion Reborn film. Not only is this the 20th movie in the franchise...
