It’s always difficult to rate niche games like The Witch and the Hundred Knight, and this one moreso because it takes a certain degree of patience to mentally work into the game before it becomes enjoyable as a twist on a dark fairy tale. But I enjoyed myself and found...
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is probably not going to appeal to everyone. The humour is often crass, the main character is one that a lot of people will struggle to get behind and the style has a more button mashing feel to it than fans of the series are used...
I think that is perhaps the testament to what Telltale Games does best with its stories – when the team can put an emotional punch in there that simply resonates for hours or even days at a time. This was an excellent episode that did precisely that for me.
I guess the great question here is “if this was a premium game without microtransactions, would I spend $100 Australian or whatever for it?” I’d say no. This isn’t my kind of genre at the best of times, and I don’t think it’s the finest example of the genre, not...
As a complete high-definition package, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles doesn’t make a great deal of strides. Its lack (or at least toning down) of the original’s trademark cell-shading will rub many aficionados the wrong way. Features like the addition of a Japanese voice track (and, by extension, audio for the...
Maybe this just says more about me and my sense of humour, but I had a fantastic time with the game. Being “the new kid” and trying to fit in is also a theme a lot of people can relate to, and finding humour in it is probably the best...
So I simply don’t see where this game’s appeal lies. Even once the technical flaws are repaired, and even after I have a better understanding on how to play following the implementation of a tutorial, I still can’t see myself having more fun with this game than I would playing...
Still, this collection has an interesting and well-rounded selection of games centred on a video game icon many of us grew up with. If you have fond memories of the little yellow gobbler, this is a really good collection of games. It does not cover everything, such as the DX+...
While I appreciate that MercurySteam wanted to do something different with the Castlevania franchise, I feel like the entire team, from director through to writer, through to the level designer has failed to grasp what makes Dracula such a wonderful character. It’s not because he’s a incredible force of evil....
That said, I appreciate the maturity that GUST is bringing to the Atelier franchise. In fact, I really, really appreciate the maturity that the developer is injecting into its flagship series, and frankly, I can’t think of a better quality traditional JRPG out there than this one.
Garrett is a wonderful character, and the city and plot of Thief hold all kinds of potential, the game looks gorgeous on the PlayStation 4 and is mechanically very tight, but all of that potential is dampened by the developer’s somewhat overzealous desire to dictate just how the game should...
I was absolutely wowed by this game the first time I played it through because I was paying so much attention to the cut scenes and redesigned Lara Croft was a joy to behold. The Definitive Edition adds a few neat little features like alternative costumes and a comic book...
