Back onto the streets of London we venture. Sherlock Holmes The Devil’s Daughter, the new sequel to Sherlock Holmes Crime and Punishments, puts us in the shoes of the fabled detective. With new cases, tricky conundrums, interesting people and a brand new overarching plot line; The Devil’s Daughter is everything...
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book might be one of the nicest RPG’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Coming from a franchise that has been around since 1997, the Atelier games have always had a heavy focus on alchemy; collecting ingredients and mixing them together to...
Not quite a sequel to the first; Homefront: The Revolution serves as more of a reboot. The problem is… was anybody asking for one? Now, I know I sound sour, but when I heard that this game was being made I actually was quite excited.
Maybe I just don’t get it. Maybe I don’t. I’m perfectly happy with admitting I just don’t understand somethings, and I’m sure to some people One Piece: Burning Blood may be just the game they’ve been waiting for, they may be that perfect combination of a person that loves One...
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
It feels like it was just yesterday that the original Mirror’s Edge was released, giving us the first ever first-person parkour game, giving the free-flowing exhilaration of leaping across roof tops, scaling tall buildings and sprinting across the city that we had never seen before. While fun, it was ultimately...
If you’ve been on the lookout for a good tactical RPG, with a heavy emphasis on the tactical, then you may just find your ideal game in Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. With it’s original release back in 2008 for the PS3, and the PC release in 2014, SEGA has now bought...
Total War: Warhammer
Total War: Warhammer is probably the best that the Total War series has ever been. Replacing traditional historical elements with the fantastical setting of the Warhammer universe has breathed new life into a series that has struggled with innovation in recent years. While existing fans of the series surely won’t be disappointed...
Overwatch
With Overwatch, Blizzard Entertainment adds yet another addictive classic to its collection. Even in the over-saturated genre of online multiplayer shooters, Overwatch emerges clearly at the top of pile. The beauty of this game is in its simplicity: it’s what allows for the game to be fun, competitive, and accessible...
Battleborn
The battle is on for the last star in the universe. Battleborn; heroes from across the galaxies are clashed in a final showdown. So what happens when a universe of characters converge on to the same screen? Compete for one-liners, naturally.
Doom
The new DOOM is faster, more aggressive, more violent and more frantic than it has ever been in the past. Going back to the dynamic that made the franchise popular in the first place, its no-nonsense approach to killing horde after horde of horrible demons has to be applauded in...
Nathan Drake’s final adventure is a riveting, edge-of-your-seat thrilling action experience that had my heart in my throat with each over-the-top, zany and perfectly choreographed sequence. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End takes all of the things we have loved about the previous games in the series and ramped it up,...
Nights of Azure
Nights of Azure was my first foray back into the creations of Gust since the Atelier Iris series, of which number 3 was a particular favorite. The game is set on Ruswal, a mysterious floating island in the North Sea. The inhabitants of Ruswal have been tormented by blue blooded...
