And as this is the last episode, what about The Walking Dead: Season Two itself? First of all the good news is that Telltale have still got it. Walkers may have replaced Sam & Max as the studio’s mascots but just like the Freelance Police they continue to bring out...
If all the Shadowgate Kickstarter’s 3,468 backers just want a better-looking version of the 1987 game with nice audio and rejigged puzzles then I’m sure they’ll all be happy because it’s exactly that. Unfortunately having an interface cluttered with Verb Icons combined with such unintuitive nonsense as having to use...
Despite still having a few issues Risen 3: Titan Lords is a vast improvement on Risen 2. The combat could be better but doesn’t cripple the game this time, the world is more interesting and easier to get around, and there’s tons of stuff to do. The story’s a bit...
While we’re certainly not starving for Action RPGs these days Sacred 3 does manage to stand out. A poorly-told story with odious voice-acting, crushing linearity, a total lack of customization right down to clothing and levelling upgrades, and an absolute distain for single-player gamers are its biggest faults. None of...
OlliOlli
OlliOlli is the very definition of a love it or hate it game, and I apparently came down on the wrong side of that equation. I fully acknowledge that OlliOlli is not my kind of game and there are plenty of gamers and reviewers who already love it, but unfortunately...
Pick a showdown. Any showdown.
While in my opinion it has a few flaws that hold it back from true all-time-classic status Divinity: Original Sin is an excellent, beautifully designed and engaging RPG that absolutely never gets boring. The main story could be better told, companions could be more interesting (and just more), and while...
I wanted to like Enemy Front since despite my crack about Wolfenstein: The New Order at the beginning there is a gap in the market for a proper serious World War Two FPS that isn’t predominantly about sniping (Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 3 is out soon too). Unfortunately Enemy Front isn’t...
So, will I continue to The FallEpisode 2? Only if Over The Moon fix the critical and aggravating flaws with the game. The story and writing was excellent and once I finally got used to all the poor design decisions I found out that the game was actually quite fun....
Krillbite get a lot of things right in Among The Sleep. Their use of graphics, sound and level design to build tension and create a creepy atmosphere is second to none, and I was genuinely on the edge of my seat for almost all the time I spent playing. Unfortunately...
Despite the acting, music, and graphics teams doing their bang-up jobs, and the storyline taking some interesting turns toward an epic finale, Episode 4 of The Wolf Among Us was more than a little unsatisfying. Yes the writing’s great but there’s not enough content here, nor were there any choices...
Small nitpicks aside, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fantastic game. It’s exactly the kind of FPS I want to play and are far too rare these last few dark years: a single-player-orientated shooter packed with fun battles and imaginative level design that is worth exploring in. To top it...
