Despite being slightly predictable in places I really enjoyed the story of In Harm’s Way and Clementine’s key role in it, but it’s a bit light on things to actually do. I don’t expect huge adventure game sections anymore but I do want to feel like I’m experiencing an interactive...
Bound By Flame
Spiders wanted Bound By Flame to be their big breakout hit but penny-pinching on theirs or their publisher’s side will hold them back. The combat system works pretty well once you get over the lack of a roll button and it actually gets very satisfying as soon as you get...
Clicking ‘Delete Local Content’ on the game “Moebius: Empire Rising” in my Steam Library. The skull puzzle in the Paris Catacombs was quite nice too.
The review’s already gigantic and there’s no way I’ll mention everything I want to, so I’ll keep things brief in the summary. If you’re after a more single-player-quest-focused MMO with an Elder Scrolls feel, with a helpful community that will rush to aid you at every problem, and don’t mind...
The story of The Wolf Among Us takes a huge leap forward in A Crooked Mile, although for every answer there’s two more questions. Hopefully Telltale won’t finish with an unsatisfying ending like Lost did but right now at the series mid-point I’m on the edge of my seat. Episode...
Betrayer is a hugely atmospheric and unique game, with a cool exploration/survival thrust that never gets frustrating thanks to some excellent sound and visual design, but it’s really let down by these two major flaws. It desperately wants to be scary but never manages it, but most importantly it gets...
Burial At Sea: Episode 2 combines a cool fan-pleasing story, enjoyable new gameplay (that you’ll wish Bioshock had attempted more), wonderful level design, a satisfying conclusion to the series, and I haven’t even mentioned how great Rapture looks and sounds. Irrational Games as a developer may have become unwieldy, but...
Once you get through a lot of the shock that comes with The Fall being a tablet conversion and all the little problems it has, fortunately you’ll find that it’s still a fun new slice of Human Revolution. Get used to the slightly odd un-redefinable controls, the cramped level design,...
The first episode of The Walking Dead: Season 2 was good but was ultimately disappointing, especially compared to The Wolf Among Us, so Telltale really needed to knock the second episode out of the park. Fortunately, a Home Run it is. The story kicks into high gear with some tense...
Cards on the table time: not since Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham games has a developer so successfully made such an amazing title out of a licensed property, one that not only is a perfect South Park game but an incredible RPG as well. It may not offer you tons of choices...
Thief
Thief does many things right. The gameplay is great for the most part, Garrett is his same wonderful self, it looks wonderful, the AI often works well, and the range of customization options is amazing. Missions are enjoyable with a couple of real stand-out superb ones, the six proper side-missions...
Smoke & Mirrors isn’t quite as good as the superb Faith and is a little shorter, which is a kick in the flying monkey nuts after how long it took to turn up, but it’s still an excellent and enjoyable adventure full of intrigue, surprise and emotion. If Telltale keep...
