The Wonderful 101: Remastered
I’ve been playing this game for YEARS back when it released on the Wii U. I never thought in a million years that The Wonderful 101 would have an official PC release. And yet here we are. So how does it hold up?
Maybe I’m being biased here but I genuinely believe this is PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya’s magnum opus. The combat system is extremely intricate and complex but damn does it feel satisfying to master. This is NOT a cutesey wootsey Pikmin-style adventure game. This is very much an action game that ranks up there with games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta (2 other games Hideki Kamiya is responsible for. Go figure.). This is a game that does NOT hold your hand whatsoever nor does it do any spoonfeeding. You’re gonna get punished. You’re gonna get destroyed. You’re gonna get nothing but consolation prizes along the way. You’re probably also gonna get frustrated with the weapon switching gimmick and say the controls are bad and that it should’ve stayed on the Wii U where it belongs.

At first this game can seem very inaccessible due to its abnormal controls and original home on the Wii U. Hopefully this review will clear up some misconceptions as well as highlight, in short, what makes this game so incredible.
TLDR: PLAY THE DEMO, it will give you a basic feel for the gameplay as well as a showcase of the game’s spectacle. Any fan of Bayonetta, DMC and the likes should play this game right now. This game is incredible and my favourite of all time. The controls are responsive (when played with a controller) and the combat is incredibly mechanically deep, combined with an immense level of spectacle through its 20 hr story. It is just Wonderful.

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
Quick Summary
Devil may Cry 4 (DMC4) is a wonderful addition to the DMC series. Introducing new style switching for Dante, a whole cast of vibrant bosses, a mediocre story,
and a new main character called Nero!
Pros
-
Nero is a really cool character with one hell of an arm!
-
Dante is much more in depth, opening up a wider range of skills and styles
-
Variety of enemies that really stand out visually and physically

Really a big fan of the series, but I’ll try to keep this from influencing this review.
DMC4:SE added three very enjoyable characters, costumes and Legendary Dark knight Mode (Legendary DKM mode is only new for console).
Vergil:
+Moves and skills from DMC3:SE and teleporting trick from DmC are mixed with this character along with moves unrelated.
+Three weapons to choose from- Beowulf, Yamato, Force Edge.
+Concentration gauge. Gauge raised by standing still in combat and making hits, losing gauge by missing and running around.

The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt
The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt is an action RPG with fast-paced combat requiring use of strong offensive and defensive mechanics across multiple modes (Story Mode, Endless Dungeon, Onslaught, Conquest, Heist). Fight your enemies up close, use buffs/debuffs/status ailments to gain an advantage or place effects like tornados, fire, water, death forests, black holes and more onto the battlefield.
The Mittu star system enjoyed a long period of prosperity, and was watched over by three powerful beings who shared their unique skillsets and technologies across three worlds for millenia. From out of nowhere, a Demon Army of immense power appeared suddenly and began invading these planets, slaughtering countless innocents and causing fear and paranoia in the godlike rulers of each world. On the planet of Altair, the first spacecraft in Mittu’s history has been constructed, with the hopes that its crew can find something in the Mittu star system to end the war against the Demon Army.
Waxworks: Curse of the Ancestors
Time for an actualized review, since the game evolved and got way bigger :-)
Waxworks: Curse Of The Ancestors is in Early Access for a year and some months now and despite some Corona related hickups, development has been going steady and progressing very well. The game is a love letter to the original, the soundtrack has been recreated in a very high quality and even improved. You can feel the nods to the Amiga version, but it still has it’s own unique character. Graphics are good, while you can’t expect crispy, sharp 4K textures in a small Indie game, it doesn’t need to hide from other modern indie titles.

I played the original and this remake perfectly captured the fear of Waxworks classic! This game made me jump in a way that I haven’t experienced since I first played Amnesia: the Dark Descent!
