Overall though, the variety on offer in The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is excellent. While it’s a departure from some of the Jackbox classics – Fibbage, Quiplash, Drawful – it’s a fantastic and inventive range of new titles, all rounded off with another solid entry of the much-loved You Don’t Know...
The years spent shaping Red Dead Redemption 2 into what it is has been worth it. Rockstar hasn’t just created a video game; it has created as close to a living, breathing digital world as can be. It’s not so much something that you play, it’s something that you visit...
Having a modern-day video game with some of the most beloved cartoon characters from our youth is certainly a novelty, and at worst, that’s exactly what Nickelodeon Kart Racers manages to be. But at best, it’s a solid entry into a rather stagnant kart racing genre. It may be lacking a bit...
With a gorgeous visual design – even on Nintendo Switch, it’s a striking-looking game – an enjoyable gameplay loop, fantastic audio design, and a lively cast of characters, there’s plenty to like in Starlink: Battle for Atlas. It’s a game I can see myself coming back to for a long time...
Warriors Orochi 4 will not turn a non-believer into a believer. If you are already uninterested in the Warriors franchise, or musou games in general, Warriors Orochi 4 isn’t going to change your mind. Yet, I imagine that for most fans, they’re merely looking for more of the same. Despite...
On normal difficulty, Joggernauts was fun for the first hour or so before it got so insanely difficult that I was starting to see red. While its difficulty is clearly the point of the game, I can’t help but wonder if it’s worth it when it quickly becomes so unplayable...
As mentioned at the start of my review, without Libra of Souls, Soulcalibur VI would have been quite a disappointing entry in the series. It’s missing some modes that you just expect a fighting game to have as standard now, its character creation feels like a step-back, and visually it...
There’s a reason why Disgaea spawned so many sequels and spin-offs, and that’s because it succeeded on so many levels. Its storytelling, humour and accessible yet deep gameplay were all phenomenal when it released in 2003, and even 15 years later it all stills holds up magnificently. If you’ve never...
Nevertheless, taken in reasonable doses, like the board game it’s based on, Space Hulk: Tactics is a rewarding and satisfying strategy game, whether you’re purging the unclean or punching your extendable jaws through an intergalactic fascist’s face. Thanks to its board game roots it’s a more claustrophobic experience than other...
Ultimately, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise feels like a more ridiculous entry into the Yakuza series, but with less content and a smaller budget. As a result, it’s a fun excursion, especially for fans of the Fist of the North Star franchise, but it never truly impresses. After...
There’s no question that Super Mario Party has something for everyone to enjoy. The maps may feel a little smaller than previous titles, but they’re unique and enjoyable in their own ways. Plus, it opens up Super Mario Party for some possible map DLC in the future. Wink, wink, Nintendo! With...
I feel like 428: Shibuya Scramble is a visual novel for people that don’t usually like visual novels. It’s more involving, more mature, and more engaging than others out there. It’s a crime story with many twists and turns that keep you on your toes and on the edge of...
