Making a sequel that's better than the 2016 Ghostbusters "remake" is not exactly hard and is really a low bar for people to easily vault over.

Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Half 2D action game, half god simulator Let's just get this out of the way: on first impression, the 2021 remake of the SNES action game-slash-god-simulator hybrid Actraiser is not a heavenly sight.

I do love me some Metal Slug action; the thrill of just casually running left to right mowing down not-Nazis, zombies, and aliens using Heavy Machine Guns and tanks called Metal Slugs just tickles my fancy so much. Which is why I'm happy to get a taste of the obvious SNK shooter tribute Mighty Goose. Published by Playism and made by Blastmode an...
