Minit
I’m just nit-picking though. It’s always great to see a videogame try and do something different, and Minit does so with gusto: it takes a tried-and-tested formula and turns it on its head with one very simple mechanic. It makes a standard adventure game into a test of memory, of patience, of...
This different take on your typical fantasy world is part of the Atelier series’ charm, even 20 years in. Other games as of late may tout their unexpected diversion from norms like these, but Atelier has been doing it for years. In Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the...
To say Scribblenauts Showdown is mainly a party game designed to be played with a number of friends, it’s great to see that it does include full functionality as a single player game, too. Sure, the Versus and Showdown modes might not be quite as fun against a CPU opponent,...
‘Troubled’ is perhaps the best way to describe Titan Quest on console. The game itself has stood the test of time, but it needed more tweaking to be completely suitable to be comfortably played while sat on a couch. Control issues and poor pacing will turn off some players before...
With its wealth of content, more refined and expanded gameplay, and clearly prettier visuals, Attack on Titan 2 is undoubtedly a worthy follow up to the original game. It takes a little while to shake the feeling of deja vu, but once the game hits its stride it comes into...
So, should you buy Burnout Paradise Remastered? Of course you should, unless you’ve played so much of the original that it just doesn’t entice you anymore. There’s nothing here that fans of the game won’t have seen or played before, but it’s still one of the best arcade racers around...
If, like me, you like a good crime thriller and missed The Raven the first time around, don’t let The Raven Remastered pass you by. It may not have truly next-gen visuals and the movement of constable Zellner may be a little clunky, but its captivating story, entertaining characters and...
Still, it’s a minor complaint in what is otherwise shaping up to be a unique and brilliant adventure. While we’ve had plenty of narrative-driven adventures in recent years, The Council feels fresh thanks to its unique systems and intriguing story. The Mad Ones raises a lot of questions and leaves...
Gravel
On the balance of things though, the fun you can have with Gravel outweighs its shortcomings. Throwing its ample range of vehicles around its generous assortment of off-road tracks is mostly an enjoyable experience, especially when you can engage in a bit of rough and tumble; your vehicle becoming suitably...
From the beautiful colours that fly past you, to the wondrous creations of destruction you can craft, Blasters of the Universe is filled with things to love. By breaking the mould of most VR shooters, it sets itself up as one of the few, and possibly only must-have gallery shooters...
Yet despite those great sections, I’m still overcome with a feeling of relief to have finished the game. For everything it does right, Rad Rodgers does three things wrong. I’ll remember the time I spent going through this game, but maybe not for the best reasons. Despite my love of...
Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia seems try and offer a little something for everyone — which is both the game’s selling point and downfall. Though it is accessible and enjoyable for many, it means everything that makes the anime so enjoyable is being spread too thin. It needs to be...
