Detroit Become Human isn’t really a game. It is more like an interactive movie where you can pick dialogue choices and press buttons for quick time events. Its “gameplay” is a lot like its predecessor Heavy Rain. And yet, it has a story that transcends its gameplay and it’ll hook you right from the start. Here are my thoughts on Detroit Become Human for the Playstation 4. Warning: there will be spoilers! Detroit Become Human won’t win any awards for…

I’ve been playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 a lot, as I talked about yesterday. And while I’m enjoying the game a bunch, I do have one major question: how in the world do people create some of the stuff I’ve seen in this game?! I have no answers but I do want to talk about some of the things I’ve seen in Builders 2’s online sharing! Dragon Quest Builders 2 has an online sharing component. The first game let you…

On Friday, we received a review copy of Dragon Quest Builders 2 for the Playstation 4 from Square Enix. I’ve been playing the game all weekend. And now I want share my thoughts about the game in this preview! I played the first Dragon Quest Builders on the Nintendo Switch and liked it. I wasn’t sure what to expect for its sequel. Would it be better? Would it be more of the same? And since I was going to review…

In “Light gun” games, you control the gun (or target) that you move to shoot at enemies and not your character. In the past, games like this came with physical prop guns that you shoot at the screen with. Now that motion controls are here, you can just move the joycon around to shoot at enemies. Mad Bullets is a “light gun” game for the Nintendo Switch. Is it a fun one though? Mad Bullets is unplayable. At least, that…

I just got Super Mario Maker 2 this week. Yeah, I’m running a little late. I’ve been making up for lost time though by playing this game a lot. The mode I’m playing the most? Super Mario Maker 2’s story mode! Super Mario Maker 2 takes everything that was great about the first game and adds to it, plus adds in online multiplayer and…a story mode?! I admit when I first heard there was going to be a story mode…

Dragon Quest Builders 2 will release tomorrow, July 12, 2019 for the Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Here is the launch trailer for the game! It looks like Square Enix is taking Dragon Quest Builders to the next level with this seque. The buildings look even bigger, the story mode looks more interesting, and there’s just so much going on in this game. I was especially impressed by the part with the airplane in this trailer and liked the look…

Every game has its “year” or at least it feels like it. I think Dragon Quest has had more than one year, surely, but this year is without a doubt feeling like Dragon Quest’s year. Why is that? Why should you care? Why do I care? What are my favorite games in the series? Why am I glad the series is still around? I’ll answer some of those questions in today’s More Thoughts! Not only is Dragon Quest Builders 2…

When it was announced that Red Faction: Guerilla Re-Mars-tered was coming to Nintendo Switch, I was skeptical that it could be handled well, but was intrigued by having such an amazing open world to explore. When I finally got to take it for a spin, there were definite issues that I fully expected to encounter, but overall, I really enjoyed the experience! For more details on the gameplay and story, read our original Re-Mars-tered review here. Here is what we…

Another day, another Metroidvania. There are so many games in this genre on the Nintendo Switch, that is can be difficult to pick the good ones from the bad ones. Not all Metroidvanias are created equal. Paradox Soul, a Metroidvania for the Switch, recently came out. Is it a good Metroidvania, an ok one, or should you be avoiding this paradox? Paradox Soul is a very simplistic Metroidvania. Yes, like a lot of Metroidvania games you’ll find yourself backtracking a…
