It's easy to underestimate just how influential the Dragon Ball franchise is, but the Akira Toriyama manga essentially defined what an action shonen manga would be for the next 40 years. Goku became the archetypical anime protagonist, while his relationship with Vegeta became the standard that all anime rivalries would emulate. It helped popularize power-up transformations, time jumps, and much more in both anime and manga.

For a sense of the decline in creative ambition between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson‘s collaboration in HBO’s True Detective and Apple TV’s Brothers, one would have to imagine that after making Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford and Paul Newman had made a movie that was primarily about how “Robert Redford” and “Paul Newman” loved to hang out and discuss how much fun it was to have made Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Key Preview Takeaways:
- The remake looks good, but not necessarily better than the 2D original it updates.
- It's got new content to add on to what's already here, along with an entire other Rayman game bundled with it.
- It still plays really well as a pure platformer.
I’m going to get my most subjective opinion out of the way here first, before I tell you about my experience actually playing Rayman Legends Retold, the just-delayed remake of 2013’s absolutely stellar 2D platformer. Here goes: Despite being 13 years newer, I don’t think this 2.5D remake looks any better than the gorgeous 2D original… which seems like something that, if you ask me, shouldn’t be up for debate if you’re going to remake a game. And as such, I’m not sure how necessary this remake is. Our own Michael Higham arrived at the same opinion after he did our first preview.

Key Preview Takeaways:
- It's a much darker art style and tone than we've been used to from Hoyoverse.
- Nodusfall doesn't have Devil May Cry-type combat, but it does make you feel cool while in combat.
- It's definitely not a soulslike (in a good way).
They told us that the Maldrake, the last of the three bosses my team squadded up against in Nodusfall, would be the one that would really try us. But it was the Qiongqi that really tested our group, wiping out our entire party the first time we attempted him. “Okay,” I said to our team. “Let’s do that again, but good this time.” Someone else pointed out that we hadn’t really been using our potions (I for the record, had, but I was just being judicious). We took a second to regroup and crack a couple more jokes, and then we ran back into the fight.
