Persona 5
When all is said and done however, any minor shortcomings are easily forgiven. Persona 5 is good. It’s very, very good. It’s the sort of game that only comes around once every few years – a game that is so unique in every aspect that it’d be impossible to mistake a single moment...
Despite its issues though, Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is overall, an enjoyable experience. I’m certain that fans of the franchise will be more than happy to be able to step into Mahera as their favourite characters. The game shows so much potential and promise going forward, and I will look...
He may not have the heritage of Crash Bandicoot or Sonic the Hedgehog, but once again being in control of Vince the voodoo doll is a nice feeling. He’s conceptually a great character that this title perhaps doesn’t make the best use of, but Voodoo Vince remains a solid 3D platformer...
And that, in a nutshell, is what really sells this game. Rewarding as it is to finally crack the game’s puzzles, which are taxing but rarely frustrating, it’s The Sexy Brutale‘s intricate, winding narrative that makes it all worth it. The game hints at what’s really going on, to the...
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series – Episode One: Tangled Up In Blue is without a doubt one of the best Telltale Games episodes I have ever played. It is undeniably a strong start for the series, filling me with optimism for what’s yet to come. A culmination of...
Aaero
All things considered, Aaero is an enjoyable game, though not one you’re going to sing and shout about. It has control issues that perhaps make it more challenging than it should be, but if you put in some time and effort, acclimatising yourself to its twitchy nature and awkward shooting...
If you’re looking for an unconventional but beautifully-told story, then Blackwood Crossing deserves to be on your radar. It’s not perfect, but the amount of love that pours out of the game – both in terms of the visual and technical quality from the team of developers and in the palpable relationship between the...
Thimbleweed Park’s problems all stem from the fact that it’s a Kickstarter game that is not afraid to please its fans. If it’s anything at all, Thimbleweed Park is a brave game. It’s a standalone adventure with no sequel tie-ins. It’s a self-contained story with interesting characters and an intriguing...
All in all, while you can still have some fun with PaRappa the Rapper Remastered, I’d by lying if I didn’t say that it’s a bit of a disappointment. A lack of extras and the realisation that by today’s standards the gameplay is rather lacking really puts a downer on things. Still,...
Despite my reservations, The Crow’s Eye is an enjoyable experience that’s worth taking a look at. Exploring Crowswood and finding pieces of story is engaging enough to keep you playing, intrigued as to what’s going to happen next. The end itself goes full crazy, and if you’re not sure what’s going on it’s fine, because...
Chaos Code – New Sign of Catastrophe isn’t going to knock Street Fighter IV’s off the top spot. Though ultimately, Chaos Code seeks to carve out its own niche and it may just do that here in the west. It’s an entertaining brawler in its own right and its roster of...
There were parts of the game that I genuinely did enjoy. The soundtrack, for example, is good if a little understated. And watching the tie between boy and beast mature was at times, a touching experience. I’m sure that it will find a small audience and fanbase because of its premise, but...
