Oxenfree executes what it set out to accomplish in a great way, providing a rather unique adventure game filled with interesting methods of interaction and some pretty shocking moments. You’ll feel a wide range of emotions, but above all you’ll be moved as it gradually dawns on you that the teenagers are simply...
Klaus
Despite its technical issues however, it’s hard to not love Klaus. It’s one of those games that sneaks up on you from out of nowhere and puts a big smile on your face because of how surprisingly good it is. It looks and sounds fantastic, offers an intriguing and thought-provoking...
An enjoyable but flawed game then, Not A Hero is commendable for what it achieves, but disappoints with its preventable shortcomings. Offering an absorbing and skilful challenge, fans of titles such as Hotline Miami will find Not A Hero‘s gameplay similarly cathartic, but those without patience will soon become bored of its repetitive nature. Crude, humorous,...
In conclusion what Fortified lacks in originality it certainly makes up for in style and execution. It’s definitely one of the best games I have played that’s been offered up on Microsoft’s download service. It offers a great deal of long term play that should satisfy people of all ages,...
If the aim of a good arcade game is to be simple, fun and addictive, then Futuridium EP Deluxe surely delivers. Though frustrating in many ways, there is a solid game at its core which – if entered into with the right mindset – can have you saying “just one...
Inside My Radio is a short, but really fun, platformer where the wonderful worlds of gaming and music collide. It’s a fantastic way for those who aren’t musically gifted to find their sense of rhythm and learn how to count a beat. Its limited replayability stops it from being an...
Sparkle 2 isn’t going to be a game that you’re going to stay up all night playing, nor is it a game that you’ll call in sick to work for, but it is a game that you won’t be deleting from your hard drive any time soon. It’s the type...
All in all, The Bug Butcher is a fun game that relies heavily on replayability. But doesn’t provide enough to make it replayable in the long term. It needs to give the player more options to add exciting new elements to the gameplay to prevent it from going stale. Sure it’s addictive,...
If I’m allowed just one bone to pick with Daniel Mullins and his team it would be this: when framing a narrative that points a satirical finger at the cardinal sins of other developers, you must be careful not to commit those sins yourself. In an attempt to frame the...
After playing for a good few hours, the stat grind will slowly wear you down and you’ll eventually feel like hitting punching bags and doing push-ups in your garage is a little pointless. Imagine if Rocky IV’s hilariously terrible training montage was stretched out for the entire duration of the...
Judging by the fact that my review seems rather negative, you may think that The Banner Saga is a game to miss. Strangely though, it’s not. Sure, sometimes the travel sequences can be boring and the combat isn’t quite as fleshed-out as other games in the genre, but it still...
Those that played Amplitude back on PlayStation 2 may be able to gleam some nostalgic enjoyment from its modern offerings, but unfortunately, in a world where Rock Band and Guitar Hero rule the music rhythm game genre there isn’t much room for a little spaceship and its collection of repetitive techno tracks. Had...
