And the funny part is you, and even the Fifa community know this, awarding the game a 1.7 score on Metacritic. Maybe it doesn't deserve to be that low (or maybe it does) but it's sickening to see the critic score of
Before Streets of Rage 4 reinvigorated the side-scrolling beat-em-up genre, Double Dragon: Neon took a shot in 2012. There is an 80s feel and theme to the gameplay, mechanics, and style that fans of Yakuza 0 will love. It is more challenging than Streets of Rage 4 and the recent Double Dragon: Gaiden , the more classically styled update on the arcade clas
Originally due for release this past March, The Sinking City was delayed to June 27. This gave the game one last opportunity to be shown off at E3, where it made an appearance during the Kinda Funny Games Showcase. The Sinking City looks to blend detective gameplay as seen in the Sherlock Holmes series with Lovecraftian horror, which is a concept that seems to have plenty of potential. With The Sinking City due out by the end of the month , horror game fans don't have to wait too much longer to find out if it's able to deliver on its promising prem
Updated April 13, 2024 by Michael Llewellyn: The Yakuza series was originally an action series in the Kiryu saga and became a fully-fledged turn-based JRPG when Ichiban took over as the series protagonist. The series's appeal comes from its depiction of Japanese culture and folklore in a modern-day setting or the historically set Like a Dragon: Ishin. This list has been updated to include more games that fans of the Yakuza series may en
Watchdogs 2 is an open-world action game set in California. It centers on a hacktivist group, Ubisoft Star Wars Dedsec as they take on corruption and the gangs that dominate the streets. It plays similarly to a modern-day Assassin's Creed game with GTA eleme
L.A. Noire has more in common with some of the investigative mechanics in the Yakuza spin-off series Judgement. However, fans of Yakuza love deep character stories and crime dramas filled with twists, turns, and betrayals. This late 1940 set drama is an easy recommendat
In the wide world of entertainment, there will always be the underrated and the overrated. While completely subjective, these two words can spark an argument just as easy as your uncle at a Thanksgiving table who feels the need to share his take on the current political climate. That said, these terms are so easy to throw around that it's infuriating to give them any power, yet you'd be remiss to not acknowledge they're sometimes appropri
You play as a team of three bugs who join the Explorers Guild in order to find the Sapling and gain fortune and glory. There's the chivalrous, good-natured beetle, Kabbu; the overzealous, money-hungry bee, Vi; and the mysterious, amnesiac moth, Leif (because every RPG needs someone with amnesia.) Through fate, these three are bonded together and venture through the various lands of Bugaria, hunting down artifacts that will hopefully reveal the location of the Everlasting Sapl
However, despite its clunky mechanics, Mafia 2 features a compelling and mature story of Vito Scaletta's rise to power in the ranks of the Falcone crime family. Fans of Yakuza's more dramatic and political mob stories will love the struggles of Vito and his relationships with friends and fam
Obviously, the team at Moonsprout Game couldn't get Nintendo to give them Mario, so they went and created their own tiny world. Bug Fables takes place in a kingdom of various bugs, who by order of the queen of the ants - naturally named Elizant - are searching for an ancient relic known as the Everlasting Sapling which can grant its owner eternal l
Aside from minor nitpicks, I found myself smiling from ear to ear playing Bug Fables . Yes, it is definitely coasting on a major wave of nostalgia, but it feels fantastic. It absolutely nails the combat, the visual style, and the general tone and vibe of the Paper Mario games. It's a little awkward in places, but that honestly didn't stop me from enjoying this game immens
By its own admission, Microsoft has had difficulty delivering console-exclusive games to the Xbox One on a consistent basis. At E3 2018, the company has the chance to reverse public opinion on its exclusives lineup, and if any of the rumors surrounding its lineup are true, then it may very well get the job d
First-party games may be the main focus of Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, but the company is also expected to give a proper introduction to Rocksteady's rumored Superman game . Apparently, Superman: World's Finest will be announced during Microsoft's press conference, where it will be revealed that Brainiac is the game's main vill
E3 2019 has come to a close, and as usual, the event featured a staggering number of games on display, including some promising horror games. With no new Capcom announcement as was rumored, the horror genre was a bit underrepresented compared to previous years, but there were still quite a few impressive horror titles at the s
