You can outfit your squid in all sorts of fashionable snapbacks, sneakers and jackets, and the whole thing has a great mix of modern fashion and 1990s Nickelodeon.Īlso, the music is some of the most unique in any big game in years. "Splatoon" is joyously fun to play, but that wouldn't matter without the game's wonderful sense of style. Stepping in your enemy's ink makes you move incredibly slowly, while stepping in your own ink allows you to swim at high speeds and refill ammo. You can use a variety of weapons to accomplish this task, from conventional rapid-fire paint guns to paint buckets and even giant paint rollers. Two teams of ultra-stylish squid teens try to paint more of the map with their color of ink before the timer runs out. There's really nothing negative to say about "Splatoon." Nintendo successfully made a hyper-addictive online shooter that can be equally enjoyed by adults and children, completely doing away with the violence and toxicity of something like "Call of Duty." If you've ever enjoyed one of these before, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

There were also two great downloadable add-ons that added characters, cars and tracks from other Nintendo series like "Zelda" and "Animal Crossing." There are even two tracks from "F-Zero," a great futuristic racing series that Nintendo won't make anymore because they hate us!īut seriously, "Mario Kart 8" is as good as "Mario Kart" gets. The online play is fantastic, as the 12-player races are buttery smooth. This time around, you can create custom vehicles using different combinations of bodies and wheels, giving it a little bit more depth and plenty of things to unlock. It's one of the best looking racing games out there, period, and the racing action is every bit as chaotic, accessible and downright fun as it's ever been. Here's a franchise you're probably more familiar with: "Mario Kart 8" does little to seriously shake up the "Mario Kart" formula, and why should it? These games are great and widely beloved. The world really does feel alien, and whether you're exploring on foot or in your awesome, customizable mech, it's an absolute joy to explore. It feels truly endless, and its massive world is incredibly impressive on an underpowered console. "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is a mighty game that took me about 80 hours just to finish the main story, and even then, there is a whole separate multiplayer component that I didn't even touch. The city of New Los Angeles (yes, that's really the name) is founded, and it's your job to explore the planet, take out any alien threats and generally help anyone who asks for it. It's a Japanese role-playing game set in a breathtakingly expansive open world where you get to assemble a mech squadron, manage like 18 different kinds of resources and try to establish a future for humanity.Īfter Earth is destroyed in the crossfire of a war between two alien races, a human ship crash lands on a beautiful (and hostile) alien planet. "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is a game for a niche audience in every sense of the word.
