It makes progression through the long and winding career mode a touch tedious despite the excellent racing experience the game crafts. The more you play it the more it feels like a patched version of previous entries and less like a new iteration of the series. It doesn’t mean you...
There’s not many video games that treat war with the respect its participants deserve. Metal Gear is too preachy and ham-fisted while Call of Duty & Medal of Honour are bombastic dude-fests disinterested in reality. Valiant Hearts, by using the war as a backdrop and avoiding too much direct conflict,...
I wanted to like Enemy Front since despite my crack about Wolfenstein: The New Order at the beginning there is a gap in the market for a proper serious World War Two FPS that isn’t predominantly about sniping (Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 3 is out soon too). Unfortunately Enemy Front isn’t...
Upon each level-up you’re rewarded with a guitar lick and over-the top heavy metal logo smashing into the screen, which is a bit more satisfying than the traditional ‘ding’.
So, will I continue to The FallEpisode 2? Only if Over The Moon fix the critical and aggravating flaws with the game. The story and writing was excellent and once I finally got used to all the poor design decisions I found out that the game was actually quite fun....
Unfortunately, the last quarter of A Story About My Uncle does become a little too repetitive, and slightly overly obscure grapple set pieces require blind luck more often than skill. That said, this is still a great adventure - one which will return you to childhood fantasy, and one which...
Overall, Murdered: Soul Suspect is an enjoyable but simplistic mystery adventure which, although it features a well-detailed game world and well-written plot, is far too short for its own good. It’s a game which I’d recommend to fans of this genre, but only at sale price.
Krillbite get a lot of things right in Among The Sleep. Their use of graphics, sound and level design to build tension and create a creepy atmosphere is second to none, and I was genuinely on the edge of my seat for almost all the time I spent playing. Unfortunately...
Despite the acting, music, and graphics teams doing their bang-up jobs, and the storyline taking some interesting turns toward an epic finale, Episode 4 of The Wolf Among Us was more than a little unsatisfying. Yes the writing’s great but there’s not enough content here, nor were there any choices...
I opened this review by talking about the dangers of going into a project knowing you intend it to be part of a larger whole - in this instance, a trilogy. After playing Van Helsing II, Neocore games have another problem on their hands after this - not that they...
Small nitpicks aside, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fantastic game. It’s exactly the kind of FPS I want to play and are far too rare these last few dark years: a single-player-orientated shooter packed with fun battles and imaginative level design that is worth exploring in. To top it...
