Republique is also utterly beautiful, and coming to the PlayStation 4 as a complete package, rather than the chapter structure it adopted for the iPad release, is greatly welcome. This way, it is a complete package, this game is a chunky, lengthy experience that will last you for quite some...
DiRT Rally is an excellent game that has a fairly high barrier of entry due to its uncompromising control scheme and challenging style of play. Some better race training could have really helped to offset this difficulty, and is one of the few areas where this title missed a golden...
But most people who will be playing Dark Souls III have played Dark Souls I, so that’s a not so much a complaint, and more observation. What I will say is that Dark Souls III has to be the end of the Souls series. This franchise sits so very close...
The lack of overall options and content creates a shallow feeling that EA Sports UFC 2 can never quite shake. It is more pronounced in the career mode, where there was perhaps the greatest opportunity to do something interesting with the source material, but outside of the original tournament the...
Aside from the multitude of tracks the game offers, paint jobs, decals and songs require gold standard driving to be unlocked. There is a tonne there that needs to be unlocked and it’s a shame that only the one paint job and decal is available from the start, considering the...
Unsurprisingly, the reviews for this game are polarising. There are those that enjoy it for its quirkiness and originality, and then there are those that simply find it too different to really resonate. For my part I really appreciate what Idea Factory has achieved with this game, and, while the...
Sheltered is like a premium version of Fallout Shelter, and it’s a far more thematically compelling proposition. I love that it makes you be quite ruthless in your efforts to keep your family alive, but then allows you to feel awful when they die. It’s less humanising than The War...
That there’s some rawness to the overall package is not a criticism of this particular game by any means however. Oh no. Nights of Azure is such a progressive, artful and rich experience that, much like other masterpieces such as Nier of Pandora’s Tower, is so incredibly special as much...
Despite the above flaws, there is so much more that this game gets right than wrong. To call Tom Clancy’s The Division ‘just a shooter’ is doing it quite a disservice. It has some elements of the genre, but it comes away more akin to an RPG when things are...
Senran Kagura: Estival Versus is great fun, combining the rawest of Japanese-style raunch humour with a tight and mechanically sound combat system. Frankly, I don’t think there’s much else the developer could have done to nail the brief on what this game set out to achieve, and the PlayStation 4...
If you’re keen for one of the suspenseful thrillers manageable with just images and text, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc comes highly recommended. The story stands alongside any mystery film or novel, and the writing lets you understand and even befriend the characters before you’re forced to see them pushed to...
