| Topic | F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch Review Zone |
| ninkendo 09/07/21 1:23:10 AM #1 | https://opencritic.com/game/11665/f-i-s-t-forged-in-shadow-torch An 83 through 13 reviews so far this Playststion console exclusive is a Metroidvania that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Shadow Complex except its more melee focused and you play as a rabbit. Game Informer 8.5 / 10.0 Punching through F.I.S.T. only gets better thanks to its evolving combat. Mapping every inch of the world is an engrossing, good time Push Square 8 / 10 F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a stellar Metroidvania adventure set in a beautifully realised world, replete with challenging combat encounters, rewarding exploration, and some spicy platforming action. Rayton Rabbit might be of diminutive stature, but he's punching well above his weight here in what is one of the best games of 2021 so far. COGconnected 90 / 100 F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is an exceptional game. With innovative visuals that ooze charm and imagination, you will immediately fall in love with Torch City. The extensive combat system allows you to experiment with the mechanics to create some incredible combinations. Press Start 8 / 10.0 F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow is a very competent, very good-looking foray into the Metroidvania genre with solid platforming and exciting, demanding arcade combat. Torch City is a wonderfully-grim place to get lost in and it's rendered gorgeously, despite some awkward signposting at times. Most of all, it nails the sense of exploration and steady progress that's a hallmark of the genre and it does all of that with a kick-arse rabbit in a mech suit for a protagonist. If this is the level of quality that studios backed by the China Hero Project are going to deliver then the program has more than made a case for itself Noisy Pixel 9/10 "F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a gorgeous Metroidvania that tells a much better story than any anthropomorphic narrative has a right to tell. It's emotional and engaging during each scene brought together with challenging moments of action and puzzle-platforming. This game respects your time, but some moments can drag on due to limited fast travel and some confusing objectives. Who cares though, you're a rabbit with a robotic fist attached to your back; how cool is that!?" --- |

| ninkendo 09/05/21 10:09:43 AM #1 | https://twitter.com/shineget64/status/1434515037771780097 https://www.truetrophies.com/game/Travis-Strikes-Again-No-More-Heroes/trophies?gamerid=5932 Finally completed my replay of the entire series before I hop into No More Heroes III. TSA marked Travis's return after 9 long years, although it wasn't really an NMH game at its core. It's more of a top down hack and slash with some light RPG mechanics as Travis travels through various video game related worlds. However it does serve to fill in the gaps on what happened during those 9 years as well as set you up for the state of things NMH3. At its core though you can still see Suda 51's pulsating heart as he attempts to bring many of his franchises together into a single cinematic Sudaverse including Killer7, The Silver Case, Shadows of the Damned and more. Beyond completing the game's story the trophy list will also have you trying co-op with the various playable characters and finishing a boss off with all of them, completing the whole game without dying once, beating all the bosses on both Bitter and Spicy difficulties, getting all the K faxes and finding all the missing Jeane locations as well as using the various cheat codes to reveal secret locations and finding all the chip upgrades and ramen shop locations. The most time consuming ones were killing 10,000 bugs and grinding all playable characters to their max level of 20. In the end probably spent about 30 hours with the game total, which is longer than the time it took to complete both NMH1 and NMH2 together last weekend. Anyway enough of that all aboard the NMH3 train I gotta date with FU. --- |

Other than that he has been lost to Hades so that's probably the only game he'll play for the foreseeable future. Only platinums on my end were finishing up Hitman: Contracts HD and Hunter's Arena Legends. Enjoyed both of those games! Contracts was an improvement on the HItman games that came before it and Hunters was a unique spin on the battle royale genre. Rest of the month was a lot of just playing FF14 (including my first ever FF14 trophy) and replaying the entire No More Heroes series before I start No More Heroes 3. --- |

| ninkendo 09/01/21 9:54:09 AM #1 | https://opencritic.com/game/11618/sonic-colors-ultimate/reviews My favorite 3D Sonic game returns remastered in 4K. It is largely the same game that came out 11 years ago, but with a few extra bells and whistles added in that don't really change the experience all that much. However it's now finally unshackled from the Wii and is widely available for everyone to play. Currently at a 77 through 26 reviews so far (the original averaged a 78). Only a $40 release though so if you're wanting to experience the game again on modern platforms either again or for the first time at least it won't break the bank. Worth Playing - 8.5/10 In many ways, Sonic Colors: Ultimate represents the unhindered high points of the 3D Sonic games. It's Sonic as a single playable character, so there are no werehogs, gameplay changes, or an adorable pudgy younger version of himself. It's the "run incredibly fast through loops" gameplay boiled down to its essentials, and it works really well. Even a decade out from its initial release, it's still a darn fun game, and Colors Ultimate definitely captures the feel. It won't change your mind if you never liked the 3D style of gameplay, but if you did, Colors is arguably the best of the lot. It might not have the highs of Unleashed or Generations, but it also is a far more focused affair. IGN - 8/10 The new content introduced in Sonic Colors: Ultimate is unremarkable, but the base game still remains one of the best examples of how a modern Sonic game should be, even nearly 11 years later. Shacknews - 8/10 Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a decent return to arguably one of the best 3D entries in the series. Though there are some solid visual upgrades, I was disappointed by the missed potential in having a version for the newest consoles. Besides that, refined controls, a revamped soundtrack, and some new features still make Sonic Colors: Ultimate a game that fans of the franchise will surely enjoy. Playstation Universe - 7/10 When comparing it to other 3D Sonic titles, Sonic Colours is easily one of the better entries in the storied annals of the spiny speedster. It's an audiovisual delight, and more often than not, calls upon the spirit of speed that made this a household name. Unfortunately, it still carries plenty of the baggage from older 3D Sonic games in terms of unnecessary difficulty spikes, and inconsistent switching between 3D and 2.5D. NintendoLife - 8/10 Sonic Colors Ultimate is well-executed revisit of a high point in Sonic's long career. Most of the quality here stems from the content of the original, rather than the new additions and tweaks for this re-release. Things like the Jade Ghost and extra customization options are welcome, but not game changing, and the musical and graphical improvements are minimal. At the end of the day, though, this is still a well-performing, portable version of a classic and that's arguably all that it needs to be. We'd give this one a recommendation, then, to anyone who has yet to experience Sonic Colors, as this is certainly the best and easiest way to try it out. If you're a fan of the original, we'd still say it's worth a punt - you'll still love the game on Switch. Just be aware that this isn't a massive overhaul of what came before. Press Start - 8/10 While it might be a hard sell for those that have already experienced the intergalactic highs of the original, Sonic Colours: Ultimate is packed with value and tweaks that make it well worth your time if you haven't jumped into it before. It sports a simple yet entertaining narrative, great gameplay and a visual facelift that unleashes the potential of its namesake. All of this combines to further cement Sonic Colours as one of the best entries in modern Sonic. Push Square - 6/10 Sonic Colors: Ultimate is the best version of an okay game. It's certainly among the hedgehog's better outings since his Genesis heyday, but it suffers from typically frustrating controls and level design. The Wisps provide variety and replay value, and the remaster adds some fun new features in addition to the visual enhancements. This 11-year-old Sonic title is one worth experiencing, but just be aware of its rough edges before you spin dash into the action. --- |
