Nevertheless, if you like the sound of a strange Naked Gun/Monty Python-inspired robot-filled adventure/exploration game jam-packed with laughs you should get Jazzpunk as soon as possible. In some ways a more freeform version of those old children’s CD-ROM games where you’d click on parts of a picture and something amusing...
Still, Octodad is three hours of fun I wouldn’t want to throw back. While it is too short an experience it’s a great, unique one and I urge anyone who likes fun games to give it a go. Anyone who played Surgeon Simulator and thought it was hilarious should immediately...
If you’re looking for an interactive board game with role-playing elements, a ton of stats and moderately interesting writing you could do a lot worse than Blackguards. If you’re looking for a proper RPG, look elsewhere. Throw some turn-based combat and XP into Memoria and it’d be more of a...
If you don’t mind a tough experience and a little frustration The Banner Saga is well worth picking up as it’s a unique experience, and both story and animation justify a purchase. However the game’s flaws mean it may annoy more than delight, and while decently sized at around 15...
These points aside, the first episode of Broken Sword 5 is a lot of fun and a welcome return to form for the series. That mid-way split is annoying and despite Revolution’s best efforts isn’t really justified, leaving Episode 1 as just half a game, and some adventurers may be...
The new content is fun and adds to the experience, but let’s not forget that we’re talking about Baldur’s Gate II here. While balls-hard and requiring a lot of patience if you’re prepared to take it on you’ll discover what is arguably the best and deepest RPG of all time,...
Deadfall Adventures certainly has some problems but if you’re an Indiana Jones fan you really should be getting it. The shooting isn’t anything to write home about, animation is rather basic, voice acting is okayish, and there are glitches and little problems aplenty, but the puzzles, exploration, traps and amazing...
Despite the brief playing time and ease of combat on Normal I thoroughly enjoyed Burial At Sea – Episode 1. It successfully combines all the best elements from Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite into a satisfying package, and it should be pointed out that level-wise nothing has been reused from either...
If you want to be scared out of your mind for an hour or so, feel free to get Slender: The Arrival. If you consider that the only prerequisite for a horror game, it gets top marks. Trouble is video games have to have more than that, and this is...
If you’re a Batman fan you should already have Batman: Arkham Origins, but anyone else might want to hold off a couple of weeks for some patches to come through. Even with the bugs though I enjoyed the game all the way through for the 15-20 hours it took me...
With just one episode to go off of I’m still prepared to bet that unless Telltale screw up massively I’m going to end up thinking The Wolf Among Us is better than Game Of The Year contender/winner The Walking Dead in a few months’ time. The characters are all interesting...
Chopping an enemy’s arm off and watching him feebly try to swipe at you with the other. Or finding a huge Build Engine-rendered secret area.
