Furi
Furi isn’t exactly perfect, but with its unique visual and audio design, there’s plenty to like. Being July’s PS Plus game, it’s a damn fine addition to your collection, but at £18.99 I feel it might be a bit steep; there’s just not enough to offer good value for the player. That said, if you’re...
It’s been a while since I’ve played a game as enchanting and engrossing as Song of the Deep. It’s the type of game that you start to play and then before you know it hours have passed; every intention to turn it off met with an “I’ll just go there”...
What Tumblestone set out to do, it did flawlessly. It really surprised me, seeming like a typical casual matching game you might find on the app store, but instead impressing with all of its fantastic puzzle elements and creativity making it the best puzzle/matching game that I’ve played in a...
Whilst it may be a little difficult for some players – especially those that aren’t used to typing much – for those who are willing to get to grips with its mechanics, the content that has been produced is nothing short of exceptional. A dash away from sheer perfection in my eyes....
With its brilliant graphics and mightily impressive physics, had Three Fields concentrated a little more on the zany and fun side of Dangerous Golf and toned down the often ridiculously over-demanding challenges of the later levels, recommending this game would be a no-brainer. As it stands however, there’s still a genuinely high...
Funk of Titans feels like a free game you’d download from the app store to kill a few hours and then delete the same day. If it was free, then you could justify the short repetitive gameplay and clunky controls, but given that it costs £4.99, you’d be better off...
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven then, is a basic but fun game saved by its enjoyably bizarre characters and events. Its major problem though, is that once you’ve finished with its fairly lengthy story mode there’s not a great deal to do unless you’re happy to spend copious amounts of...
In the end, unless you’re a diehard fan of the genre and desperately need a new title to get stuck into, it’s hard to recommend The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II. With a smattering of graphical issues and frequent framerate slowdown to add to the already brimming roster of disappointment,...
To me, Carmageddon: Max Damage is the reimagining of a classic done right. Whilst some remakes or new entries in bygone series’ are so far detached from their original source that they are no longer recognisable, Carmageddon: Max Damage feels and plays just like Carmageddon. Sure it’s got some new...
Breached is a game that tries to make its story cryptic enough to keep the player interested in replaying it, but its gameplay is too shallow and dull to make replaying seem worthwhile. It’s unfortunate that elements of the story are locked behind secret logs, and the disappointing endings only adds...
See? I completely forgot to mention “tower defence” at all. But it does need to be said – at its core, Space Run Galaxy is a glorified tower defence game: you have a “base” to protect, waves of enemies coming at you in often unpredictable patterns, different tools that you...
Heart&Slash successfully transitions roguelike gameplay into the third-dimension with its fluid, fast-paced (and challenging) combat. Fiercely battling through hordes of enemies is thoroughly satisfying, thanks to the diverse supply of weapons unlocked at a consistent rate. Its retro-reminiscent graphics and soundtrack are both very stylish, though some more musical diversity...
