The Football Manager franchise is niche as niche comes for sporting games, but for people that do like statistics and analysis, this is a beautiful example on how spreadsheets can be made entertaining. Just be warned that you will need to concentrate to have a hope of getting the best...
Make no mistake, Papers, Please is a political and sociological statement, and often it’s quite a distressing one. But it also stands as proof of the power of games to extend beyond the boundaries of simple entertainment and thrills, and it tells a hell of a story in the process.
The difficultly is ramped up further with the game using a single save file, which also automatically saves after each mission. If you are too careless with your troops at the beginning of the campaign, you may find you will not have enough manpower to complete the latter missions. Once...
Technical competence aside, Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom should not have been a full-retail title. The game is far too short. It’s over in around 10 hours, and isn’t the most difficult 10 hours you’ll ever experience. The Zelda series managed to fit a game twice as...
If anything, the release of Captain Toad goes to show just how confident Nintendo is, and more so with how much it understands its audience. In a blockbuster season filled with plenty of firearms and fistfights, Captain Toad shows us more creativity and style than many new IPs out there.

It’s great that the developer wanted to create a classic JRPG experience in Pier Solar, and I do hope that everyone that bought into the Kickstarter were happy with the end result. However this game wouldn’t have been especially popular back on the Genesis if it was a commercial product,...
The game could have used a better and more nuanced exporation of the psychology and morality of rebellion, and it would have been stronger for it. Still, the beautifully crafted world teaming with life and and almost never-ending sequence of quests is an alluring hook to keep players coming back,...
It’s difficult to say more about Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!! that won’t come back to the basic reality that it’s a niche game for a niche audience. Fighting game fanatics who don’t mind a spot of fan service will get right into it. Everyone else is better off sticking...
I used to play a lot of wrestling games in years past and while there is still plenty of rapid button pressing, the digital version of the sport has moved on from simply being a masher to something more technical. The end result is a better experience that is more...
