Review Round-Up - August 2019

Adol the ardent adventurer's latest was one of the best in the Ys series with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana.

The final full month of summer came and went, and it's now September here at SuperPhillip Central. School's in session now for many, so SPC is doing some homework of its own with a lot of games to review for this upcoming month.

Before I get ahead of myself though, it's time to look back at the four reviews posted in the month of August. Starting off rough was the recently released Switch port of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, which ended abruptly and suffered from quite a few glitches and bugs. It conjured by a C- score. Following that was Nicalis' Puzzle Fighter-inspired Crystal Crisis, which got a satisfying B. Meanwhile, after a year from its Nintendo Switch release, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was reviewed on SuperPhillip Central, getting a fantastic A- grade, showing the wait was most definitely worth it. Finally, the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11 impressed with its transition to Nintendo's lesser powered hardware, earning a B.

Meanwhile, the Mortal Kombat series' return to a Nintendo platform was a gore-ious one.
