Latest Reviews
VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is an addicting action JRPG that features great combat and a narrative worth exploring.
This is very much more Everybody’s Golf with a few extra brush strokes and a overtly pleasant online portion to round it out. The result of that is easily the best version of the game to date, and with a good price point and welcoming structure, it’s a fine place...
Madden NFL 18
Madden NFL 18 is a breath of fresh air in the franchise, highlighted with Longshot, a new engine, and more accessible game modes to round off the package.
What The Escapists 2 does do is improve its look, expand your options for escape, and throws in a hilarious multiplayer. What The Escapists 2 does not do is make itself significantly more accessible and forgiving. If that put you off the first time, there’s little to convince you to...
Essentially an update of its predecessor with a new art style and some carefully considered additional nuances, Nidhogg 2 nonetheless remains an obvious choice for friendship-destroying, local competitive party play on PS4.
The second Mega Man collection is a touch light on content, and by this point the formula has grown tired. That doesn’t mean there isn’t joy to be had though, as what is on offer remains as solid, colorful, and stimulating as ever.
Smashbox Arena
Smashbox Arena is a fun PSVR title that has some great gameplay but can be short-lived.
Aven Colony
As a seasoned city-builder, Aven Colony is a solid game that has translated remarkably well to the PlayStation 4.It’s incredibly fun and challenging and optimising your colony to no end will keep you entertained.
Pyre
Pyre’s world is full of dynamic characters with unique motivations, darkly vibrant backdrops that look like paintings, and a soundtrack that you’ll be humming for days, weeks, even months to come. It might be slow to start, but once it picks up it never looks back. The Rites are exciting...
The bar of expectation was not set particularly high for Cars 3: Driven to Win, yet by focusing on the right things and not patronising its intended audience, the game is a surprisingly enjoyable racer that's a pleasure to handle.
There’s a good concept to DeadCore, and for the most part, it’s one that feels pretty well executed. It’s no looker, and the PS4’s controller lacks the dexterity needed to truly master the platform puzzlin’, runnin’ and gunnin’ DeadCore offers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something enjoyable and challenging...
A uniquely innovative shooter with imagination to spare, there is nothing quite like Superhot.
