Of course, one of the main attractions of Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni- for many players will be big bouncy boobs, and yeah, it’s got plenty of them. Whether or not they’re worth the boredom that accompanies them, however, is up to you. Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni- presents itself as an action game,...
I really don’t get what the developers were trying to achieve with Valkyria Revolution. It pretty much takes everything that was good about the prior games and just throws it out of the window, replacing it with tedium and banality. It feels very cheap too, with the lack of meaningful...
Now playable for the first time on consoles, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that the wait for Zombeer hasn’t been worth it. The few interesting interesting ideas it has with regards to art-style, setting and voice talent, are all squandered due to an overall lack of...
As I mentioned previously, you will complete Perception in around three hours. And unless you’re really into hoarding collectibles – which weren’t particularly much fun to find given Perception‘s obstacles at making your way around – there’s very little reason to go back. In the end, Perception has a great idea at its core, but...
More than anything else, Get Even is a game about discovery of truth and the reality of the world around you. The developers have created a very interesting world, and the brilliant atmosphere coupled with varied gameplay makes for a very worthwhile experience. Sure, some of the mechanics of Get...
AereA
AereA was enjoyable, just not for the reasons you’d imagine a game would be. The story is great, the concept is lovely, but the execution doesn’t hit the right note. It’s colourful, full of bombastic music and character, but lacks depth and fluid gameplay mechanics. Too many little issues snowball...
All in all, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series – Episode 2: Under Pressure does little, if anything, to disappoint. Some may feel that it ends rather abruptly, but it leaves you wanting more, which can only be a good thing. We’re now two episodes in, and it’s...
Caveblazers manages to separate itself pretty well from Spelunky and some of its other competition. It’s a solid roguelike that always feels fair and gives players a real challenge to complete. The combat is fast-paced and exciting, and the controls are as tight as you could hope for, with the...
NBA Playgrounds isn’t a bad game, but it isn’t great. The fun it offers is found almost exclusively in either co-op or online. The solo experience is lacking and doesn’t keep your attention for too long. The game has a great look, and plays decently well when the AI isn’t...
There’s something about Tokyo 42 that makes it quite engrossing. Playing it often feels like hard work due to the annoying camera, but it’s strangely rewarding. You feel a great sense of satisfaction when you pull off a successful hit without being spotted, and as you climb the assassin ranks...
Shadow Warrior 2 surprised me. It takes a chance by adopting a more open-ended structure, but it pays off. All the humour of the original game remains intact, and there’s more emphasis on you simply having fun, whether that’s by yourself or with others. And what fun it is. The...
It’s by no means perfect, but Friday the 13th: The Game has a lot of fun to offer when you can get into matches. It delivers the promised tension of the film series, and you can see the love for the franchise in nearly everything. Unfortunately, as it’s currently a multiplayer-only experience,...
