On a purely technical scale it’s impressive, watching thousands of units battle it out in what are mostly gorgeous backdrops. It’s something the Total War series always excelled in, and it’s especially fun to watch in the fantasy nature of Warhammer. In terms of pure graphical fidelity, it’s less impressive....
The Walking Dead: 400 Days
As always, the choice system remains in 400 Days, with the signature ‘shades of grey’ choices littered in the DLC. Nothing is black and white, and the struggles of making a choice against a rapidly expiring timer is just as thrilling and difficult as ever. While we don’t get to...
It should be noted that this is NOT a remake, and the gameplay has remained untouched from the original. While this can be seen as good, other people may note the lack of progress, the clunky controls, and the godawful camera. The camera is one of the worst things I’ve...
Bayonetta 2
Adding a sweet cherry on an amazing cake, Platinum have put Nintendo costumes into the port, letting you play as Princess Peach, Daisy, Link or Samus. Not only are these cosmetic changes, but they actually have gameplay effects. You can actually use Samus’s arm cannon, Link can block attacks with...
The architecture of the game is also delightful, with some mind bending segments thrown in which may be the best parts of the game. One particular segment involved walking around and around a seemingly never-ending set of rooms, but with one particular thing changing in each room every time, until...
Some puzzles are genuinely interesting and require some actual thought, for the most part they’re quite straightforward. What’s more remarkable is the two brothers’ interactions with the world. Dozens of events happen in this world, and like the naive younger brother, the gamer would be naturally drawn to attempt to...
It’s a tricky situation, as Superhot is currently being priced as roughly $25 AUD for a game that amounts to a couple of hours (excluding the extra modes). However, the extreme fast paced nature of Superhot means that not one moment of the game feels bloated or overlong. Every second...
Always Sometimes Monsters
Do you convince your rockstar friend to take drugs again? Do you shoo away his crazy ex? Do you agree to buy drugs for a random girl, buy cheap pills and pocket the change, possibly resulting in her death? I’m literally scratching the surface here on the sheer amount of choices...
Far Cry 4
Perks have been streamlined as well into two paths of 16 skills each and most are just taken from 3. Some are locked behind sidequests and unlockables (smart) but a lot are locked behind story missions (not smart). There’s nothing spectacular about them, except it’s a shame they’ve streamlined them...
Dynasty Warriors 8
The AI remains as dumb as a brick. While usually this wouldn’t be a problem seeing as this is Dynasty Warriors, 8 decided to add some objectives that DON’T revolve around simply killing an officer or….killing more officers. Having to escort an ally to a designated location is infuriating especially...
I haven’t even begun to cover the Covenant system or the in depth upgrading system that is apparent in all Souls games, but rest assured they’re in the game, as fleshed out as its predecessors. Expect to spend a lot of time experimenting with skills, builds and weapons in what...
Betrayer
The monster designs are unfortunately quite uninspired and don’t lend much to a horror look, with repetitive enemies which you’ll probably get sick of by the time you’re a couple of hours in. It’s a shame, because these enemies need to carry the bulk of the horror/action part of the...
