The Three Best (and Worst) Video Games from May 2023 is full of high profile games, both good and bad.
June 2023 is a beast of a month for video game releases. Each of the top 3 games is a contender for biggest release of the year.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 is the direct sequel to Fuga: Melodies of Steel, which also makes it the fifth game in the Little Tail Bronx series. This new title is incredibly similar to its predecessor. It has the exact same core gameplay, and uses many of the same assets.
Teslagrad 2 is a bit of a fail. It has some interesting puzzle platform gameplay, but its Metroidvania elements are too simple. And it feels like there was very little creativity behind any aspect of it.
Cassette Beasts is essentially a Pokémon game, with a late 80s/ early 90s aesthetic. It was designed for those of us that were too old to appreciate the appeal of Pokémon, because we were too old and cool at the time.
On paper, April 2023 wasn’t a crazy good month for video game releases. But there ended up being a lot of really good games. All the biggest releases scored well, usually somewhere in the 75-85 range, with the exception of one.
To be honest, May 2023 is a bit of a lull before the monster month that June 2023 is promising to be. There are still a bunch of awesome games, including one that will likely be a Game of the Year contender.
Trinity Trigger is JRPG comfort food. If you’re a fan of Super Nintendo era action JRPGs, then Trinity Trigger is a must play.
The easiest way to describe Hunt the Night would be The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past with a Castlevania aesthetic. It also happens to be as good as the classic titles from those series’ 16-bit eras.
