Part of what really grabbed me about Horizon 6, aside from it being in Japan, was that there was a story. Sure, it was basic, but it was enough to hook me. So when I started receiving invites to a hands-off preview of Maverick Games’ debut title, I was a little reserved but interested. First of all, I hate hands-off previews. But also, it was for a “narrative-driven driving game from former members of the Forza team.”

Alien: Isolation is a game that hardly needs an introduction. Easily one of the most well-known horror experiences featuring the iconic Xenomorph killer, Alien: Isolation had people shivering in their boots for years since its release in 2014. When the sequel was finally announced at SGF this year, to say the energy in the room was electric was an understatement.

For the most part, I’m rather pleased to confirm that Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis plays pretty similarly to those last few games, but if there’s anything this demo has to go by, it’s definitely more on the puzzling side.

As soon as I was pitched to preview an “unannounced game from the creators of N+,” I was in. I didn’t have to watch a trailer, even though I ended up seeing it at Day of the Devs. The Newgrounds OG was definitely peak when it came to flash precision platforming, and now seeing it go multiplayer is absolutely nuts, and I’m glad I made time for it at the show floor.

Resident Evil: Veronica one of the biggest announcements at SGF the day prior. An interview with the producer during SGF before being shown Onimusha was definitely something I didn’t expect.

Super Yooka-Laylee Kart was easily one of the standouts from this year’s Day of the Devs presentation after Summer Game Fest, but after we spent some time with it, it’s hard to gauge whether this game will appeal to anybody but Yooka-Laylee’s biggest fans.

The Moss games are among the most celebrated titles in VR gaming. Knowing that, these were games I definitely bought for my PSVR. That being said, I was “that guy.” Despite shelling out for a PSVR, I only really played…

You pretty much get an idea of it all through the trailer, but if you haven’t heard of lily’s world XD, it’s basically a psychological thriller about a girl named Lily, who went missing in the early 2000s. After finding her laptop, you snoop around and see if you can discover clues to figure out what happened to her.

Bruce Wayne, you really are the most devious bat in Gooooothaaaam Citaaaaay. With so many references in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, I figured why not kick off this review with such a reference. Luckily, though, the game isn’t all about references. There’s a whole lot of excellence that makes the game a must-play.

It’s absolutely wild that we live in a universe where a more than competent remake of Final Fantasy VII exists, but what’s even wilder is that the universe of Final Fantasy VII was also completely remade in such a way that even those who enjoyed the originals can’t tell you what’ll happen next, and it’s all the better for it. Now that it’s also available on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X, more people get to experience it before its epic conclusion now in development.

Kidbash: Super Legends is a fun time. With missions, weapon variants and upgrades, stat boosts, and other stuff planned for the full game, it’s shaping up to be a scrappy little platformer for the ’90s kid, made to be repeatable at its core.
