2019 · Survival Horror · PC / Steam
Resident Evil 2 Remake transforms a 1998 classic into a modern survival horror masterpiece, delivering relentless tension through brilliant level design, terrifying enemy encounters, and an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a combat knife.
2017 · Visual Novel / Adventure
The Ace Attorney Trilogy on mobile is one of the best narrative experiences available on a phone. Phoenix Wright's courtroom battles are as gripping now as they were on the DS, and the updated HD art makes the expressive character animations pop on modern screens. The writing is sharp, the mysteries are satisfying to unravel, and the emotional beats hit harder than you'd expect from a game about yelling 'Objection!' at cartoon witnesses. The investigation segments drag compared to the trials, and the touch interface for evidence presentation could be smoother. But three full games with dozens of hours of content, memorable characters, and some of the best comedic writing in gaming history make this an easy recommendation for anyone who reads and enjoys a good mystery.
2017 · Fighting
Street Fighter IV Champion Edition is the most complete traditional fighting game available on mobile, with a 32-character roster, responsive controls, and the full mechanical depth that made the console version a competitive staple. Touch controls create a real barrier for advanced play, and the online multiplayer never quite delivered, but plug in a controller and this becomes one of the best ports of a fighting game on any handheld device. It's a genuine piece of Street Fighter on your phone, not a watered-down imitation.
2020 · Survival Horror · PC / Steam
Resident Evil 3 Remake delivers a polished, thrilling ride through Raccoon City with excellent character work for Jill and Carlos and some of the series' best action gameplay. It also ends before it feels like it's properly started, and the Nemesis never becomes the unpredictable force that defined the original. As a standalone action horror game it's a blast, but the shadow of both its predecessor and its companion RE2 Remake looms large over everything it does.
