The PC had the highest average metascore of any platform, somehow. 8.5.Man, looking at Metacritic's list, a few things jumped out:ġ0 unique titles got 90+ metacritic scores, which is a seemingly high number - until you dig down and realize that five of them - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Undertale, Bayonetta, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, and Okami HD - weren't new. It’s a fun take on boxing that’s even better with someone else playing on the couch with you - whether you’re fighting alongside them or trying to beat them into submission with your weird, springy appendages. Both the motion controls and traditional button controls add an additional layer of satisfaction that comes with landing punches and grabbing opponents. With tons of different arms to choose from - each with their own characteristics and abilities - and a handful of colorful, fun, and downright bizarre fighters to play with (read: Helix), Arms has just enough depth to keep things interesting despite its relatively simplistic combat system.
It’s a really nice change of pace for the fighting game genre. or the combo-laden brawls of Street Fighter, Arms slows down the combat with the characters’ springy, extendable arms (the game’s namesake) that launch semi-slowly across arenas. Instead of the fast-paced fights of Super Smash Bros. 28Īrms takes the fighting game genre in an entirely new direction with a weirdly charming Nintendo spin. Still, this one's great to play if you want a compelling story with super fun gameplay. It isn’t perfect the side missions are boring, the story is a bit too long, and the action can be too easy at times. It has the hack and slashing of Bayonetta (though simpler), the bullet storm of Vanquish and the bombastic storytelling that players have come to expect from the developer. But there is, oh, so much more.Ĭoming from Platinum Games, Nier: Automata marries much of what the studio does best into an exceptional package. You are an android 300 years into the future, cleaning up Earth from rebellious robots so the humans stationed on the moon can return. This science-fiction action-RPG has a heaping amount of existentialist angst, intense battle sequences, and purposefully mysterious game mechanics. Nier: Automata, an obscure Japanese sequel to an even more obscure game, came out of nowhere in late winter and spread like wildfire through passionate word of mouth.
