Even with its short length and minor sound issues, I still enjoyed every moment of The Little Acre. Its subtle humour, art style, and heartwarming story wrap up into one of my favourite games of the year. I recommend picking it up if you enjoy something that your entire family...
The Last Guardian is not a game for everyone. As someone who almost unanimously prefers gameplay to story, I can easily see the camera issues coupled with the slower controls being a real source of contention and turn off some people. Admittedly, I came close once or twice myself. However, when...
Steep
All things considered, it’s easy to recommend Steep. Winter sports fans will love the diversity of disciplines and events. Action game fans will be immersed by the vast open world and missions that demand you explore. Both will love the sheer amount of content on offer and the sublime visuals....
Despite its issues though, Mother Russia Bleeds still manages leave you with more happy thoughts than bad, especially when played with friends in local co-op. The violent action does a great job of holding your attention as the story unfolds, with each level book-ended by a memorable boss fight. And...
To sum up then, Final Fantasy XV is by no means perfect – in fact it’s far from it – but it’s hard to not be enraptured by it. It falters in a few key areas but it has its heart in the right place, making it hard to bear...
With both Amnesia: The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs running at around six hours apiece, and Justine around an hour and a half unless you die and have to restart, the Amnesia: Collection for PS4 offers horror fans plenty of chills for its budget price of £23.99/$29.99. It’s...
There are good ideas in Super Dungeon Bros, such as the inclusion of challenges, the Call of Duty-esque upgrades, and the teamwork-centred dungeon-crawling. Where it falls down is at the basics: good, satisfying combat and challenging gameplay. Pressing the same buttons over and over can only entertain for so long, even...
Despite its childlike exterior, Ittle Dew 2 certainly isn’t childsplay; this is a serious adventure wrapped up in a colourful and simple disguise. Be prepared to need a lot of patience to battle some of the later bosses, but if you can get past them, the charm of the game and the...
Tyranny’s length does however mean the credits will roll before the combat becomes too wearying and that the choices you have made are actually important. I never felt as if there was a choice that the game should allow me to do as is so often the case in RPGs; instead, I...
Planet Coaster does have its share of issues, however. There are annoying pop-ups; in my case constantly telling me about litter, that no amount of bins and janitorial service would seemingly rectify. The game crashed on me a few times (don’t tab out while the game is autosaving on the fastest...
Weeping Doll is a brief preview of what horror is capable of, if given time. However, it does not stand on its own as anything noteworthy. While motion sickness won’t be a concern, keeping your interest will be. The confusing set pieces, empty story, and rough dialogue will distract you...
Watch Dogs 2 is definitely a better game than its predecessor in nearly every way. It doesn’t feel like a leap ahead many have come to expect from Ubisoft sequels going all the way back to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin’s Creed 2 and Far Cry 3, but...
