All in all then, Tales of Berseria is a game carried by its thrilling combat and unusual cast of characters, and they do so with ease. It doesn’t try to push the bar in any particular way; it’s just content with being a good old-fashioned JRPG, and I respect it...
The Flame in the Flood successfully captures the intricacies of a better class of survival games and wraps them in a very neat, very pretty package, complete with an awesome alternative-country soundtrack by Chuck Ragan. It also adds a sense of urgency in its narrative, a unique and engaging challenge in...
The most frustrating thing about playing an indie release like Spheroids is the feeling that the developers were not even attempting to create something fresh or novel. It takes undue influence from many other – better – indie games on the market and doesn’t try hard enough to make its own mark....
If you’re a Yakuza game veteran, Yakuza 0 should be considered absolutely essential, though it provides a great starting point for those wanting to get into the series too. There’s no better a time to get into it either, what with a remaster of the original title, Yakuza Kiwami, due...
Sylvio
One thing is for sure though; Sylvio is quite unlike any other horror game. It goes by the beat of its own drum, isn’t afraid to try and be different, and doesn’t copy the typical horror tropes that you’d expect to see in a low budget indie horror. It doesn’t go in...
2064: Read Only Memories in a lot of ways is something of a balancing act. Whereas particular genre elements and features make a point of setting it in the past, its outlook and perspective on character, location, and story firmly place it as one of the best point and click adventure...
On the whole though, it’s easy to recommend Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone to fans of the world famous vocaloid. Those who have never sampled the delights of a Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA game would be wise to download the free Prelude edition of the title too, just to...
At its core, Rocket Riot is a standard, though well made, twin-stick shooter. There is a lot of content in the form of levels, characters, and challenges, but it’s still not enough to keep the game interesting for long periods of time. If you’re looking for a game to pick-up and play casually...
On the whole then, whilst it is just a simple port, there’s no doubt that this is the best version of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 available. It still has the issues that it always has, such as being unbalanced and having what has got to be one of the...
As a whole, Rad Rodgers: World One is a pretty solid platformer. The game doesn’t really do anything new, but it does a lot of things really well. If you focus on just beating the story, it’ll be a short two- to three-hour experience. By modern standards, it feels like...
In general, covering Batman: The Telltale Series has felt like a journey. Episodic games are very clever in that way and I’m sad to say goodbye to the characters that I’ve invested in for almost half of a year. But if future Telltale games take notes from this one and improve...
I accept that this is the simulator genre, which is a whole unique kettle of fish, and Bridge Constructor is not a piss-take like Surgeon Simulator, which deliberately exposes the lunacy of absolute realism; at the same time I can’t get the thought out of my head that life’s too...
