Toukiden 2 is a great example of “it it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The core of the game comes from Toukiden: Kiwami and receives a good dose of polish, and Koei Tecmo added just enough new material. It’s another solid entry in the series and probably your best bet for...
The joy of the game, then, comes from Kitty Powers herself. Her hilarious and sparkling personality is enough to keep you engaged at least for a few hours, and even though her double entendres do soon begin to repeat themselves, I still found myself chuckling after the third or fourth time I heard...
For hardcore gamers looking for a solid metroidvania fix, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is quite possibly worth the asking price despite its issues. Others, however, are likely to find it all too shallow and simply too difficult to truly enjoy. It’s a shame, as there are solid foundations for a great...
Ultimately, Genso Wanderer is a unique and intimidating game. Its low-budget nature can make it feel impenetrable to most Touhou community outsiders. The unfortunate truth for most projects within the Touhou world is that if you’re not already interested in them, you probably will never be. Nevertheless, for a niche...
Every moment spent with Breath of the Wild is pure joy. It’s the sheer delight of discovering something new: the first time you accidentally hit a cuccoo, or the first time you throw some ingredients into a cooking pot. It’s the incredible reward of reaching the top of that tower and seeing...
2Dark
For its asking price, a nine-hour campaign seems more than reasonable for 2Dark, especially since it’s such a well-developed game. It isn’t without its issues, but the minor frustrations don’t take away from the overall quality of the story and the game. If you enjoy a good horror with a bleak tale – and can stomach seeing...
In this case, total insanity doesn’t equate to total fun; it equates to frequent failure. Albeit, often financially rewarding failure. No, the finer moments of FlatOut 4: Total Insanity are to be found when it’s either being more restrained or just all-out daft: when you’re chasing checkpoints around a cluttered...
So it may not be the most feature-rich bullet-hell shoot’em up out there. And the sheer insanity of the on-screen action can be a bit mystifying at times. But Ghost Blade HD is one hell of a lot of fun that does a great job of reminding you of the...
Many times while playing Styx did I find myself thinking “I could’ve done that better,” or “I wonder what would’ve happened if I dropped that chandelier on that guard.” Whether it be the need to discover where an alternate route of an intricate level could take me or the craving to...
NieR: Automata is undoubtedly a better game than its predecessor then, but still somewhat of a rough diamond; it doesn’t shine to its full potential, but it’s precious nonetheless. An overflow of quirkiness and an air of mystery empower it with a great deal of charm. It’s just so unusual...
Put simply, Specter of Torment is absolutely brilliant. It’s a slice of classic platforming action that puts a smile on your face from beginning to end thanks to its engaging gameplay and pleasant presentation. If you’ve bought a Nintendo Switch and fancy a tighter, more immediate experience than the sprawling Zelda:...
At the end of the day, every pixel of Warhammer Quest screams mobile game. That in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing; I imagine playing the game on a mobile device would be a very different experience, and its short levels and simple controls lend themselves well to mobile devices –...
