Recommended – “An excellent arcade action game. The soundtrack is a delight to listen to and fits the fast paced nature of the action to a T. If it has one major flaw, it’s that’s too short and lacks replayability.”

SOFIA, Bulgaria — Oct. 1, 2021 — Snapshot Games, in partnership with Saber Minsk and Prime Matter, has released Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition, the highly anticipated console debut of the renowned strategy game from X-COM series creator Julian Gollop. Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is available today on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for $39.99 and features the full game plus four major DLC expansions, including the new “DLC 4: Corrupted Horizons,” launching today on both consoles and PC.
Phoenix Point delivers a new breed of turn-based strategy and action. Earth has been overrun. A mutating alien menace threatens the last remnants of mankind. It’s up to you to lead Earth’s resistance: explore a ravaged planet, build your bases, research new technologies, manage resources on a global scale, and fight in full-scale, turn-based tactical battles to survive. Work together with different factions to unite mankind and take back the planet via Phoenix Point‘s diplomacy system, or crush all your rivals with military might.
Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition has been designed to feel at home on consoles, with a revamped interface and control scheme to ensure every action lands intuitively on controllers. The game runs at 1080|30 FPS on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, but PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X players can experience it at 4K|60 FPS, with a free upgrade to the next-generation version of the game coming after launch.
Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition Features:
The Complete Phoenix Point Experience to Date: Includes the full game plus four major DLC expansions (“Blood and Titanium,” “Legacy of the Ancients,” “Festering Skies,” and “Corrupted Horizons”), as well as a bonus weapons pack, console-exclusive skins, and a ton of community-driven updates and upgrades.
Intense Turn-based Battles: Deploy your squad of four or more soldiers and drones in tactical, turn-based battles. Take direct control of your soldiers’ shots in combat with a unique free-aiming system — target enemy weak spots, weapons, and more for mass impact.
Defend Earth from a Mutating Alien Menace: Face down an alien threat that adapts to your tactics to constantly challenge you. Take on intense boss fights against huge monsters with unique abilities that require precise planning and execution.
The Geoscape Reborn: Take command of a strategic view of world situations and conflicts to plan operations and manage resources on a global scale.
Deep Unit Development: Customize your soldiers with unique skills and a vast array of weapons and equipment.
Uncover the Threat: Experience a complex narrative with multiple possible endings, and learn about the origins of the crisis through exploration, diplomacy, and research.

Optimized for Consoles: Revamped UI and gamepad controls designed specifically for consoles.
Free Next-Generation Upgrade: Experience the game at 4K|60 FPS on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X, with a free upgrade for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One owners after launch.
DLC 4: “Corrupted Horizons”
DLC 4, out now, introduces the deadly new Acheron enemy and the Corruption effect, which lowers your soldiers’ will to fight. But a new allied unit can help counter this threat: the Mutoid, a human-Pandoran hybrid immune to Corruption. Mutoids’ abilities can be acquired from any class known to the player, letting them combine powers in new and exciting ways. But Mutoids cost Mutagens to produce, evolve with new abilities, and heal when wounded, adding an element of risk to their tactical advantages.
Phoenix Point: Year One Edition is available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, GOG.com and Google Stadia. PC players can grab DLC 4: “Corrupted Horizons” today for $4.99 (DLC 4 will arrive on GOG.com in the near future).

Every good game deserves a chance to shine again. The underdog in Sega’s library has always been Super Monkey Ball, as the quirky party/platformer has always been popular amongst its large fanbase, despite not seeing regular releases over the years. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania looks to bring us rolling back to the good old days, with a new coat of paint and a fresh set of beats to go bananas over. Can the first installments bundled here capture a new generation of fans? Let’s find out.
Story
Did anyone every play Super Monkey Ball for the plot? Sure, there is a story mode intact, but to this day the light narrative featuring Ai-Ai, Gon-Gon, and other monkies never really did it for me as the gameplay is largely the focus. Sure, it is “cute” and gives our protagonists some needed flavor, but the stages and mechanic utilization are the stars of this entire package. Those looking for more however will love to know that a lot of other Sega characters have been packed in, allowing the player to play as Sonic, Tails, Beat (Jet Set Radio), and even Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza in ball form. Strong stories or not, there is a lot to love about all of the faces featured, where even non fans will instantly find someone to mesh with.
Gameplay
Featuring a tilt control system where you maneuver stages to roll your character, there is something unique and refreshing about going back into Monkey Ball all these years later. For the most part, controls are familiar and crisp, utilizing modern features to update the game. While longtime fans may find some additions refreshing, others may be amiss at newer refinements. You see, Super Monkey Ball is a game about controlling your momentum through physics on various stages. Your speed and technique comes down to precise movements and skill, which makes the gameplay rewarding and oh so satisfying.
For the most part, these stages feel better than ever, with minor touches added to enhance difficulty and balance areas that may have been a little wonky in the past. The massive variety of stages are sure to keep most rolling along fine, but the difficulty spikes (and the constant rolling off the stage) adds a layer of tedium that felt a bit unnecessary. There are “helper” assists and a ton of power-ups that can aid in frustrating courses, but the precise motions required along with trial-and-error gameplay don’t always mix as they should, with minor imperfections in design sticking out on several stages in later parts of the game. Sure, the gameplay is still fun, I just think as an adult I pay attention to detail a little too much to get the enjoyment out of some sections compared to how I consumed these little stages years ago.
Monkey Target, one of the most popular modes also makes a reappearance here, and things are mostly decent, but minor innovations of the present have muddied the mode just a bit. Maybe its that the controls just don’t feel as tight for this mode, or maybe it is just the way the restructuring of said controls work in comparison, but rolling down that old ramp is a lot more cumbersome than it used to be. Add in awkward animations for any drop-off and some of the past charm has obviously faded for Banana Mania’s well-meaning recreation. Monkey Billards is still fun, as is Tennis and so on, but make no mistake, this is a rebuilt version of past titles, and enjoyable or not, will not feel exactly the same as they did on previous consoles.
That said, this may be one of the most jam-packed party titles to hit a modern consoles. There is so much to do and see that even a handful of minor annoyances are forgivable due to the amount of quality content found within this package. Sure, the mini-games were treated with less love and attention than the main game, but that main game and some of those unique oddities are still lovely, where a player can go in and spend hours rolling around, dashing through hoops, curves, and loops to their heart’s content.
Visuals
I think the most prominent feature of the past Monkey Ball titles was the amount of color the game had. This title is even more visually stunning, with polished graphics adding updates that still give us that zest and pop from the past. The cutscenes are less appealing this time around, but still do a decent enough job at creating the little narrative within to be forgiven, as again- most will not go into this party game looking for a novel. I see a lot of die-hard fans having trouble digesting the heavy amount of change visually for Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. I was never in that group and still had my moments, but they never really stopped my own momentum once I really got into the core experience.
Audio
The audio is superb here. With a lot of new tracks and a handful of the old for the nostalgic, there is a reason this soundtrack comes readily available. Each melody fleshes out a stage, adding so much charm and quirk that the tunes easily make up for most shortcomings of the actual game. With all of the sound updates I was surprised not to see more personality added into the cast itself, but Sega played it safe there and succeeded in keeping these primates endearing and lovable.
Overall
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is one of the best party games in years. There is just so much to do and experience that its hard to just go in for a pocket of time without staying up an entire night, attempting to beat a score or nail a new goal. Imperfections aside, this remade entry may not be the exact deluxe edition that so many discovered years ago, but it manages to celebrate the franchise well enough to re-introduce these hidden mascots to audiences in an effective manner. There is a bright future ahead for Super Monkey Ball, and if Banana Mania is any indication, we have a lot to look forward to.
