Games like Mirror’s Edge, Assassin’s Creed and Dying Light have shown us how exhilarating parkour can be in a videogame. But those titles used it as a mean of effective traversal only, not as a Tony Hawk-esque trick system in itself. Enter Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game (sheesh, what...
Promise Mascot Agency has such a weird premise—developed by the developers of the unique Paradise Killer, it’s an open-world game in which a former yakuza member manages an agency of anthropomorphic creatures posing as marketing mascots. It sounds weird, and we tested it out on PC and Xbox Series X...
Despelote
Mechanically speaking, Despelote is a football (or soccer, if you’re from the US) game. It’s not trying to compete with EA Sports’ or Konami’s offerings, nor emulate arcade classics like many other indies. It merely uses its gameplay hook of kicking a ball towards a single goal (pun intended): delivering...
The Precinct
As the astonishingly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed to next year, those who wanna roleplay as criminals in a US town may have to wait a while longer. In the meantime, however, we have the polar opposite – The Precinct, a top-down open world game evidently inspired...
Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is a game with plenty of cons and pros alike. It’s an unashamedly simple and fun brawler, with a lot of content, a good variety of characters, a surprisingly meaty story mode for the genre and various extra content – all of which...
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is a strange game for sure. It’s an enjoyable enough mecha-based extraction shooter, with serviceable combat and traversal and with the excitement of this genre’s formula. Said gameplay loop does very little to stand out from the crowd, despite a somewhat unique presentation, and the technical...
It’s hard to properly judge a game like The Quite Place: The Road Ahead. In a vacuum, as a horror game, it may appear as a slow, tedious experience, and there certainly are a lot of parts where it feels like it just keeps on throwing roadblocks at the player...
Ultimately, Fear the Spotlight doesn’t really try to reinvent the formula, serving as a smart, respectful and well-designed homage to the PS1-era of horror games and the 90’s aesthetic in general. Lovely visuals, great voice acting and genuinely spooky vibes more than make up for the fairly simplicistic gameplay loop...
In the end, I enjoyed the first video game of the Unknown 9 universe, and I sure hope it won’t be the last, as I wanna keep going back to this vast fictional world. And while I want to applaud Reflector Entertainment and Bandai Namco for trying something different, perhaps...
Funko Fusion is a simple game, perhaps overly so, following the footsteps of Travellers’ Tales’ iconic LEGO games but with the Funko figurines instead of the brick characters. The IP crossover aspect is sound, and the game is very accessible, but excessive repetition and a baffling lack of any form...
Still, I had a great time with Milestone’s take on the Monster Jam world. The gameplay is tight and surprisingly accessible, with these behemoth vehicles bouncing and flipping left and right in such fun and satisfying ways in both racing and stunt modes. With a great technical background, too, what’s...
