I will get right to the point because this is a Sonic review: After some time, Sonic X Shadow Generations has grown to be one of my all-time favorite Sonic games. It is a great blend of one of the Blue Blur’s classics with a fresh batch of cleverly created Shadow levels centered around his talents. In a big update to a beloved game, Sega and Sonic Team have learned from their recent attempts, Frontiers, and Superstars, and have discovered ingenious methods to include the greatest elements of those titles. Furthermore, this is unquestionably Shadow the Hedgehog’s best game. Remastered…

MechWarrior 5: Clans can be as frustrating as fighting an Atlas without an arm, but it can also be as thrilling as when a Gauss rifle shell smacks into an enemy mech’s cockpit. On the one hand, it is a captivating, mechanically superb mech combat simulation that perfectly captures the complexity and personalization you would anticipate from this walking tank franchise. There are not many things more satisfying than modifying your mech until it has the ideal weight, armor, and armaments to fit your playstyle or coring an opponent’s mech with a single round from a pair of Gauss guns…

There was an air of dread throughout The Legend of Vox Machina’s first two seasons. While the band of adventurers introduced in the Dungeons & Dragons live streaming of Critical Role goofed around, they were unaware that their campaign was growing bleaker and more serious. There would be no turning back when their journey turned into a reckoning. The show’s third season is the darkest part of the narrative to far—twelve episodes of dire repercussions, heartbreaking defeats, and fissures in Vox Machina’s fundamental structure. Even while the adaptation has a few bumps in the first few episodes of the season,…

It turns out that killing a Tekken character is difficult, particularly when gravity is involved. Even though Katsuhiro Harada, the creator of the Tekken series, tried his hardest to persuade us that Heihachi Mishima was truly, truly dead this time, surprise! The third DLC character for Tekken 8 is none other than the King of Iron Fist. Unforgotten Echoes, the upcoming free story extension for Tekken 8, aims to explain the why and how of Heihachi’s reappearance. I had the opportunity to play the full two-hour DLC campaign during a preview event. My overall opinion? It is more excellent (albeit…
