Let me start this review off by saying that CNMN is the best character. How often does a banger drop right out of the blue and become an instant game of the year contender? Xbox Game Studios released this pleasant surprise and it's just a treat. It wears its middle-school age cartoon aesthetic proudly, along with its genuinely funny writing and endearing, well designed characters. The characters, feel so classic due to great designs and simple but genuine character arcs and themes. They even have some great arcs that are meaningful but don’t get in the way of the game. They took their archetypes and ran with them, and it works wonderfully. Along with this smile inducing presentation, beautifully simple and simply beautiful gameplay really takes the cake. A rhythm-based 3D action platformer sounds like a lot on paper, but Hi-Fi rush’s gameplay is simple and to the point. The combat is ‘Baby’s first God of War 2018’. Far more approachable and far less mindless because of the rhythmic mechanics. You’ve got to put in real effort to get into the music and tune your actions to the tempo, and doing so really pays off. When you get it, you really get it. Hitting things at the right time is really satisfying. You’re not good because you’re throwing out moves over and over… you’re good because you’re putting in the work and If you stay on beat, you can pull off insane moves just from the basic two buttons put together in the right way on the beat. And boy does it never EVER get old. The message of the game is teamwork, and using different abilities together to become unstoppable, and they show this really well with gameplay. Although switching and summoning each character really kills momentum sometimes, it’s a cool mechanic and makes the ending oh so satisfying. I seriously love these characters and how fun the whole experience was. What a GEM this game is.

Pokemon Arceus is… rough around the edges. The late 2010s have not been kind to Game Freak and they have not been kind to us. The Pokemon formula has gotten stale fast, and it seems that the developers of this prestigious franchise just can’t keep up. Pokemon Legends Arceus is a fine example of this. Shortcuts are everywhere. There’s so much time looking at bland animations, hearing lackluster music and reading frankly pointless text that effects nothing. The visuals truly look bad. There is no excuse for these kinds of graphics when Breath of the Wild, Witcher 3, Wolfenstein 2, DOOM, Nier Automata and No Man’s Sky run beautifully and look great. There are just some glaring problems with this game, and the gameplay is so good that these problems don’t even matter! What this game gets right, it gets so right that this is one of the strongest and most fun Pokemon titles to date. This game understands that the best part of Pokemon games are the Pokemon and sets you free in an open world structure that lets you get up close and personal with hundreds of them. The endearing and headlining act of capturing Pokemon no longer takes a jaunt through tall grass, a hope and a prayer that you’ll get a cool one, and then whittling down a poor Psyduck so you can hope and pray again that it’ll get caught. If you want to catch a Pokemon, just catch it. No really, just go up and catch it. If you want to find one, go find it! If you want to battle a Pokemon, just battle it. This game’s accessibility to the best part of Pokemon games provides hours of exciting and fun gameplay, and really that’s all it needs. It’s a shame that Scarlet and Violet didn’t continue some trends from Legends Arceus, because at the end of the day, it’s Pokemon, and Legends Arcues lets it be Pokemon.

I have to say that DOOM Eternal is probably the most engaged and focused I’ve ever been playing a single player shooter. It seems like IdSoftware had the ball rolling with DOOM 2016 and did absolutely nothing but let it keep rolling. It is amazing how they made shooting so much more fun by making you do more than just shooting. If you want to play DOOM Eternal like any other first person shooter and just try to mow things down with one gun, you’re going to have a really lame playthrough with a lot of death screens. DOOM Eternal is designed and meant to be played with thought. The more you think, the more you move and the more you hold back and let the weapon variety do the work, the more fun you’ll have. The tougher enemies can be killed with any weapon, but they all have little tricks and weaknesses that you’ll know. For each tougher enemy, you’ll see them and your brain will need to go “okay, that’s x enemy. Their weak spot is this, which means I need to get out x gun and hit those weak points. doom eternal knows that fun is more than just shooting and killing.” Now you have to do that at basically the speed of light with 20 other enemies pursuing you. It is exhilarating to have so much to do and so much to handle, but DOOM Eternal aids you with more movement and speed options, and you can get any shield, health or ammo pickups you need by hitting an enemy with the right weapon. It’s genius. DOOM Eternal understands that fun in shooting games is more than just shooting and killing. It implements layers of restraint, movement, strategy and speed to its gunplay in the right amounts, it gives you so much to handle, the ability to handle it, and the stressful swarms of baddies to put your shooting chops to the test. It’s exhilarating and just pure fun.
