Minecraft
I both like and respect Minecraft, but I am continually astounded that it has reached such heights of popularity.
BIT.TRIP BEAT
BIT.TRIP BEAT attempts to answer the question, “What if Pong was a rhythm game?” It could have done so a lot more gracefully.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad is distinctly charming, but that’s all it is.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Ages is the weaker of the two Oracle games, but it’s still absolutely worth playing.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
With this final single-player expansion, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove now contains two of my favourite games ever.
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
Specter of Torment seems to go out of its way to rectify the problems of Shovel Knight’s first expansion.
Kirby’s Dream Course
Kirby’s Dream Course is a complete, rewarding, and original title, instead of a branded reskin of an existing product.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
Pokémon continues its gradual advance into the 21st century with its seventh generation, to mixed but eventually positive results.
Kirby’s Dream Land 2
I consider myself a Kirby fan, but only when the series is partaking in gimmicky cartoon weirdness. The titles that try to be regular platformers, like Kirby’s Dream Land 2, just feel generic and empty.
