Aside from a few annoyances and occasionally unfair difficulty, I found myself always coming back for more with FlatOut 4, and one hour would often turn into three-hour play sessions. It was just plain fun to play, and sometimes a game doesn’t need to be more than that.
Ultimately, this is a game anyone that loved adventure games will enjoy, and find entertainment in. There are quite a few nods to the Lucasarts/Lucasfilm stable, cameos and a continuation of jokes that have been there since the first Edison encounter. In terms of where it would sit alongside the...
Really, the best way to describe Everything is that it’s a game that lets you play as everything. I don’t mean that in the sense that you can play as anything, though you can do that (at least, any of roughly 1000 different things coded into the game). Rather, I...
On the balance of things, The Crow’s Eye borrows heavily from other existing titles in terms of mechanical inspiration. That’s not to say that it doesn’t have original concepts, or that it’s incapable of convincing narrative twists. The problem with the game lies in the fact that as a hodgepodge...
I must admit that, despite being a big fan of the original Toukiden, I wasn’t expecting as much as what I got from the sequel. The developers at Koei Tecmo could have easily just recreated the previous game with some additional monsters and settings, and it still would have been...

There are moments where I was stealthing around, scoping out a path through a heavily fortified compound to get to a target without bringing an entire militarised division on me that I did enjoy the kind of experience that Wildlands was chasing after. I absolutely loved Mercenaries and its “deck...
I suspect I will always have time for a good, classical roguelike. They’re becoming less frequent, and therefore I think we need stuff like Genso Wanderer to keep the tradition alive. It’s not perfect, and it will frustrate many, but it’s a quality, solid effort nonetheless.
That one little gripe notwithstanding, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moon is a fantastic game. I’ve played a lot of games that emulate the design of Castlevania to varying degrees of success, but few that do this good a job of engaging with the theme ‘s that underpin that series. In...
FAST RMX feels like a modernised F-Zero in every regard. Its gameplay feels fluid and engaging, and the track design is arguably better than any other game of its kind. Casual players will enjoy the opportunity to race with friends or online, while hardcore genre fans will have some hefty...
