It’s always difficult to come at classic games from a completely fresh angle. If you’ve played them before you’ll probably have fond childhood memories of them. If you’ve never played them, you might still find them fun, but it’s unlikely you’ll get quite as much fulfilment from them. There’s no...
What Darkwood does best, though, is give you a feeling of complete helplessness. The atmosphere, the darkness, the eerie soundtrack, and the design of the monsters you encounter are what make Darkwood one of the most memorable survival horror games I’ve played in recent times. Even after preparing as best...
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, then, is unsurprisingly another fantastic game from Naughty Dog, a developer whose pedigree only seems to grow stronger with each title. My scepticism over the lack of Nathan Drake was quickly proved wrong, as Chloe and Nadine make fantastic protagonists and a refreshing change to the series....
In the end, I was pretty disappointed with Nidhogg 2. After a few hours of playing I don’t see myself going back to it any time soon. The weapon changes and graphic changes were enough to turn me off. Although the game can be fun to play for a few...
Despite its minor issues, I had such a fun time playing Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! that it might actually convince me to give some other RPGs a try. Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! has awesome gameplay, great character creation, a catchy, old fashioned soundtrack and a thriving world full of...
Black the Fall definitely isn’t for the casual gamer; it’s crazy tough, but for someone looking for a fun challenge it’s worth a try – or two, or three… since you’ll be dying. A lot. There’s tons to appreciate, including its dark but detailed graphics and compelling story line, so...
In all seriousness, Little Nightmares does a fantastic job of pulling off “childish horror”. It strikes a good balance in introducing horror without ever being too scary; anyone who loves a little bit of the macabre without the intense dread of true terror will love this indie title. It is a bit on...
In general, covering Batman: The Telltale Series has felt like a journey. Episodic games are very clever in that way and I’m sad to say goodbye to the characters that I’ve invested in for almost half of a year. But if future Telltale games take notes from this one and improve...
Even with its short length and minor sound issues, I still enjoyed every moment of The Little Acre. Its subtle humour, art style, and heartwarming story wrap up into one of my favourite games of the year. I recommend picking it up if you enjoy something that your entire family...
Batman: The Telltale Series Episode 4- Guardian of Gotham may not have been the most impressive of the series but it did continue to keep me intrigued so much so that I can’t wait for its finale. The first four episodes did a fantastic job of bringing its players into...
That being said, I still can’t help but recommend Lichtspeer due to its really fun concept, music, design, and easy to learn controls. If you’re not convinced, just watch their trailer and I’m sure that you will be. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it gave me quite...
Overcooked is an absolute hilarious experience and I would completely recommend picking it up to play with your friends. Single player was a little bit disappointing because of the immense difficulty, but as Overcooked was basically created as a co-op game I’m not entirely surprised by this. The story, character...
