Welcome back to another installment of the MeltedJoystick Review Round-Up. Here’s what our staff has reviewed since last time:
Nelson’s Reviews:
I finished my second and third Backlog Ablution obligations... and didn’t really play anything else. I’ve still been enjoying “Warframe,” and I’ve attempted to enjoy a new-old Turn-Based RPG in “Lost Odyssey,” but it has been a bit of a slog – made worse by my self-inflicted insistence on playing it in the Xenia Edge emulator on CachyOS Linux.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Remake) – 3.5/5
Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition – 4/5
Chris’ Review:
Chris completed the first of his Backlog Ablutions – and the longest one – but much to my chagrin, he didn’t like it as much as I did. He’d better hurry up and finish his other two Ablution titles before “Grand Theft Auto 6” comes out and keeps him occupied for the rest of the year.
Pampas & Selene: The Maze of Demons – 4/5
Greedfall – 3.5/5
Nick’s Reviews(?!):
Miraculously, Nick reviewed more games than anyone else for the FIRST TIME EVER! I don’t really think this is about him getting into a groove so much as it is me and Chris getting into a rut.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure – 4/5
Baldur’s Gate 3 (Quick Review) – 4.5/5
Polybridge – 4/5
Featured User Review:
With ZERO user activity all Spring, there’s nothing to put in this slot. Let’s all do the trendy thing and blame A.I.
