As I said in a previous review, this VR gig is still very new, and developers will struggle with coming to terms with the technology, its strengths and weaknesses, and how it can best be used for each genre. Horror is a very natural fit for the technology, but some...

Battlefield 1 is the best release the series has seen in some time, and because it no longer is trying to measure itself up against other shooters like Call of Duty, the game itself winds up better for it. The campaign is actually worth experiencing for a change and the...
As someone who has been a lifelong fan of Final Fantasy, World of Final Fantasy was specifically designed for people like me, and I love Square Enix for it. Respectful of its heritage, but creative with how it presents it, this game has had a far more meaningful impact on...
If you’ve got a PC that can handle it, Shadow Warrior 2 is a fantastic bloody game. If you love yourself a good, over-the-top action video game that brings to mind the ridiculous (but enjoyable) action flicks of the 70’s and 80’s, then the Shadow Warrior franchise is not to...
All in all WWE 2K17 is a really good experience. The smaller design choices both in the ring and for customising your experience are incredible, and when looked at as a completely package it is the best wrestling experience I have had to date. I happily sunk dozens of hours...
Gearbox has done a great job with the overall package and deserves a new look for fans. While it may not be the most complete version, that all-new chapter is good enough in itself to get fans interested again. Hopefully, at some stage, we can enjoy new Duke game that...
So, simple as it might look, but Yomawari is a remarkably complex game that aims to be something far loftier than most attempts at interactive horror. Its intensity is in its subtleties, and the way it is constructed makes it a masterclass in the aesthetics and theming of one of...
For its flaws Aragami is my kind of stealth game, and I had a good time with it. After spending a bit more time studying Japanese literature, and perhaps a couple of field trips to Japanese castles, graveyards and shrines to really understand how Japanese storytelling should look and feel,...
With its rich characterisation, documentary style focus and its unrelenting scrutiny of the darkness within American culture, Mafia 3 provides a thoughtful and at times confrontational experience which since now has been missing from the open-world genre. Hangar 13 has thoughtfully designed a tight experience where gameplay, atmosphere and narrative...
I really wish there was more to 140 because while it is a short and engaging experience, I was left wanting more. There’s plenty in the game Jepp can build on into a sequel, so for now I guess we just need to play a game of wait-and-see on whether...
The result is a game that is genuinely unique. Classy in tone and hugely interesting in design, this is a game that is worth supporting simply on that basis; there’s some elements that don’t work as well as they should, but then that’s the consequence of experimentation. What is important...
