Adventure

During the days of the Nintendo Wii, people could not get enough of the original Mario Galaxy, prompting Nintendo to do something they've rarely ever done with 3D Mario titles: release a sequel! Unfortunately for me, neither Mario Galaxy or Mario Galaxy 2 hit that sweet spot for me like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine did. In fact, nothing Nintendo has released for Mario has brought me back mentally to the days of the Gamecube and Nintendo 64. Super Mario Odyssey is about to change that in a big way for me, and I cannot wait!

I never played the full Rayman Legends game on the Wii U. I played the demo, but I just never got around to playing the full game. Then Ubisoft sent us a review code for this game and our editor-in-chief, Adam Roffel, decided I should do the review.

Wayforward, the developers of the Shantae series, will be bringing another game to consoles (and STEAM) soon! The Mummy Demastered has its first trailer! Check out the video, some information about the game, and my impressions below. Here is some more information about the game (via youtube): “A powerful ancient evil has arisen, and the war to save humanity has begun! The Mummy Demastered throws you into a 16-bit-inspired battle against the undead in a 2D, nonlinear, action-packed adventure. As…

Monster Hunter Stories came out this month for the 3DS. I played the demo and thought it was good. Adam Roffel played the whole game and enjoyed it. And if you liked it too, then you may be excited about the free DLC that’s coming to the game this month. Check out the video below for the DLC reveal and then please come back for my impressions of it. The Link outfit in Monster Hunter Stories looks very good. Even…

Nintendo has been going down the DLC road a lot since they launched the excellent track and character packs for Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Wii U, and for the most part, they've been doing a really good job with it, providing large, meaningful content updates for a great price. These DLC packs have extended the life cycle of previous games, and Nintendo is hoping they can once again make Fire Emblem Warriors a game that you will continue to play well after launch.

In Part 1 of my review-in-progress of Samus Returns, I told about how this game compares to the original, in Part 2, I talked about how much harder the game was getting and discussed the graphics, and in Part 3, I talked about the game’s controls. And now in the final part of my review-in-progress, I’ll update you on my progress in the game and discuss its difficulty a bit more. I’m getting pretty far into Metroid: Samus Returns. I…

I’m pretty sure I mentioned my love for old school PC Adventure games here on GamesReviews.com before. If I haven’t, well, I just did. I loved playing games like Space Quest and King’s Quest on PC. I also really dug the NES adventure games like Deju Vu, Shadowgate, and the Uninvited. In more recent history, I thought Tales of Monkey Island was great on the Wii. So when I heard about a new point and click adventure from the maker…

I'll be the first to admit that Powerpuff Girls isn't really up my alley, but when Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment sent over the Powerpuff Girls Team Pack, I was interested enough to put it together and check it out. While I wasn't thrilled about the LEGO builds themselves, the in game content was pretty strong all around, making the Powerpuff Girls Team Pack a good addition to any LEGO Dimensions collection.

Today is a good day if you are a fan of Ninjago or LEGO in general as both the LEGO Ninjago Movie and the LEGO Ninjago Movie Game launch for the masses. First things first, based on one of our other writers who had the pleasure of sneaking a screening of the movie ahead of launch, it is a fantastically fun experience throughout, definitely worth your time, young or old. But the real excitement for the majority of us at the website is the launch of the game, available today on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

Steamworld Dig and Steamworld Heist are two of my favorite games on the Nintendo 3DS. Both games are a lot of fun. And the developer of those games, Image & Form, just released another Steamworld game today: Steamworld Dig 2 for the Nintendo Switch! I’ve been playing the game for a couple of days now, thanks to Image & Form, and have some impressions of the game to share with you. How is Steamworld Dig 2 so far? I’ve only…
