Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide is an excellent game which is slickly produced, well thought out and great fun to play. It has something for casual and hardcore gamers alike and delivers an exciting teamplay experience with depth and longevity. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the next year of the...
Without any shadow of a doubt, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of the best entries in the series. For me it’s probably the best since the masterpiece that was Assassin’s Creed 2. The controls are tighter, the combat is vastly improved, and the side missions complement the main campaign as...
Perhaps it comes down to the fact I was forced to live out decisions that I didn’t want to make. Perhaps, after having built bonds with these characters over the last nine months, I didn’t like the fact that the game made me experience consequences that I didn’t want to...
Despite the few bugs, I can’t praise Prison Architect enough: the fact that I’ve spent over 125 hours in the game pretty much speaks for itself. The mixture of construction and management simulation is balanced perfectly, and the gameplay is both enjoyable and rewarding; even at its most frustrating, it...
Overall, this is another solid entry in what is effectively the pinnacle of the strategy RPG genre. Like the games before it, Disgaea 5 provides plenty of laughs, a large dose of strategy action and a humongous amount of content. If you’re the type of person that just likes to play...
Transformers: Devastation wears its namesake well, and Platinum Games has managed to produce not only the finest video game the Transformers franchise has ever seen, but also iterated on their own signature design in a way that feels every bit as fresh as the unassailable masterpiece they already created with Bayonetta 2....
Samurai Warriors 4-II, like all of the Warriors games before it, certainly suffers due to its repetitive nature. However, it still doesn’t stop it from being extremely fun, even if only in small doses. With its Free Mode and Story Mode also playable in co-op, either locally on online, it’s...
Overall, Cast of the Seven Godsends isn’t really worth the £4.99, unless you’re that big of a fan of run ’n’ gun games and want to relive your days in the arcade. It does look good as far as level design and the sprites for the gods are great, but...
That’s the thing. The Beginner’s Guide is going to mean different things to different people but ultimately it speaks to a kernel of truth so present in the human condition that I can’t imagine the person that wouldn’t recognise it. If you’re the kind of person that believes video games...
These encounters are not planned. No room has the same monsters or items. Hidden doorways can be located in any room wall and accidentally revealed by a bomb or powerful attack. These hidden chambers can lead to merchant teddy-bears, extra bosses, and the aforementioned devilish offers… There is a colossal...
Whilst Armikrog may be a short experience, and it may not be the most realised or polished game ever made – for example, the menus are pretty sparse and your in-game cursor is just the standard system cursor – these things don’t detract from the overall experience of the game....
Penarium isn’t a game for everyone – its pixelated graphics and cruel difficulty will prove to be divisive to the general consumer – but for those that are charmed by the visual style or enjoy a good challenge it’s a mighty fine game. It’s simple and repetitive, sure, but it’s...
