Reviews[]
| Game Title | Publisher | Format | Reviewer | Pages | Pg No(s) | Rating (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mario Kart 8 | Nintendo | Wii U | Joe Skrebels | 10 | 70-79 | 96 |
| Sayonara Umihara Kawase | Agatsuma Entertainment | 3DS | Chris Schilling | 1 | 80 | 69 |
| Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl | NIS America | 3DS | Joe Skrebels | 1 | 81 | 82 |
| Child of Light | Ubisoft | Wii U eShop | Kate Gray | 2 | 82-83 | 87 |
| NES Remix 2 | Nintendo | Wii U eShop | Chris Schilling | 2 | 84-85 | 82 |
- Every Mario Kart's offered something new, but few feel like they've changed the series' formula so importantly - this is a line in the sand. Magnificent.
- A select few will adore Sayonara Umihara Kawase, others will despise it and both camps will be entirely justified. It's a genuine opinion-splitter.
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
- As magnificently, defiantly old-school as ever, Millennium Girl introduces enough new elements to come away feeling fresh and rarely comprimised.
- Child of Light is an aesthetically pleasing wonder for the eShop. It might be a short game, but it's definitely worth the asking price.
- A DJ is only as good as the records he spins and there are plenty of classic cuts here. A superior selection of 8-bit hits makes Remix 2 a fine sequel.
