Return to game play with favorite characters in Akiba's Beat for PlayStation 4. The third game in this series comes with immersive 3D graphics and an action-based RPG format that makes avid gamers immediately at home. Akiba's Beat boasts an all-new story and plenty of fight sequences to engage both returning and new players.
If you've played Akiba's Trip on PS3 or PS4, then you know what kind of hilarity to expect from Akiba's Beat. They've traded the vampire stripping for a more traditional approach, but the Akiba series charm is still front and center. The English localization team really knocked it out of the park with the script on this one, it's apologetically funny and had me cracking up before the first tutorial was even done. It's a treat to walk the busy streets of Akihabara and the surreal landscapes that make up the game's dungeons. Battles are quick and fun, and each playable character uses a unique weapon to battle.
Tap into your magical potential in Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception for the PlayStation 4. Follow the story of Haku as he battles through his amnesia, and as you delve deeper into the world of Yamato, make friends and fight enemies. Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception has a stunning soundtrack and visuals for an immersive game experience.
I adore strategy games. I had never seen or heard of the anime, but the strategy aspect of the game's battles pulled me in. The story is deep and interesting, and the characters are developed enough that you care what happens to them. The PS4 is quickly becoming this gaming generation's JRPG powerhouse like the PS3 and PS2 were before it. IF you like strategy games, visual novels, or both, Utawarerumono is for you!
Your favorite marsupial, Crash Bandicoot™, is back! He's enhanced, entranced & ready-to-dance with the N. Sane Trilogy game collection. Now you can experience Crash Bandicoot like never before in Fur-K. Spin, jump, wump and repeat as you take on the epic challenges and adventures through the three games that started it all, Crash Bandicoot™, Crash Bandicoot™ 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot™ 3: Warped. Relive all your favorite Crash moments in their fully-remastered HD graphical glory and get ready to put some UMPH in your WUMP!
Crash Bandicoot is one of those classic series that never gets old. The PS4 collection is cheap, gorgeous, and just like the originals. Getting to play as Crash's sister Coco for essentially the entirety of all three games adds the perfect finishing touch to make an already awesome series that much better.
Take on a new adventure with Sora in Kingdom Hearts Remix for the PlayStation 4. With six titles in one, this video game lets you explore other worlds with Donald Duck and Goofy to help Sora find his friends. With Kingdom Hearts Remix, you can also play mini games online with friends for even more fun.
Since I had already bought the two PS3 collections, I hadn't planned on double dipping on PS4. After watching footage, however, I quickly changed my mind. The framerate is even smoother than on PS3, similar to Dream Drop Distance in the 2.8 Collection, and it looks amazing. It's also much more convenient to have both PS3 collections on one disc and on the superior system.
Worlds collide in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle! The Mushroom Kingdom has been torn apart by a mysterious vortex, transporting the chaotic Rabbids into this once-peaceful land. To restore order, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi must team up with a whole new crew made up of four Rabbids heroes! Together, they will battle with weapons through four worlds filled with combat, puzzles, and unpredictable enemies.Developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is the best of the Mario and Rabbids franchises, combining all that you love about Mario iconic universe with the side-splitting antics of the Rabbids.
I have to admit, I wasn't too excited about Mario + Rabbids when just the title was first leaked. I love the Mario series and characters, but I'm indifferent to the Rabbids. Once I found out it would be a strategy title, however, I became optimistic, and boy did this game not disappoint! Ubisoft has done a wonderful job making the strategy aspect feel unique and tailored for the world of Mario, and it's quite possibly my favorite Switch title. New DLC will be rolling out in the coming months expanding the storyline and co-op mode, and I couldn't be more excited to dive back in!
Embark on an adventure across new lands in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Explorers Edition for PlayStation 4. This second installation lets you battle random monsters and find invitation stones to unlock new areas of play. Play Dragon Quest: Heroes 2 in single-player mode, or invite three friends to join the journey in multiplayer mode.
The first Dragon Quest Heroes was a fun new romp across Dragon Quest locales, and the sequel is even better! More characters, more stages, more monsters and most importantly... more fun! It is sorely lacking local co-op, but even the online co-op is a nice addition since the original.
Explore the next adventure in the Yakuza series with Yakuza Kiwami: Steelbook Edition for PlayStation 4. Whether you're new to the journey or revisiting an old favorite, the game features familiar actions that let you take control from the starting point. Yakuza Kiwami: Steelbook Edition features all new HD visuals, letting you enjoy the battles in an exciting new way.
By day, go to school and meet other students, and by night, find emotion fragments in the Other World in Blue Reflection. You're a former ballet dancer who injured her foot, but magical powers let you move freely again. Turn-based battle systems and an extraordinary plotline ensure Blue Reflection is a beacon of entertainment.
Blue Reflection is a solid JRPG that boasts a unique graphical style and interesting gameplay mechanics. It could have stuck to typical conventions, but it instead paves its own path by introducing features such as equipping items to skills in order to give them new bonuses. Its only downside is that exploration is somewhat limited and the game itself is somewhat linear.
