Latest Reviews
Mixing the best parts of Left 4 Dead and adventure epics like Indiana Jones and Uncharted, Strange Brigade is better than it has any right to be. Enjoyable solo or with mates, the puzzles and the open level design gives the game replayability, but the pacing and the derivative art...
Cookie Cutter is a gory, messy, punk and occasionally tough as nails metroidvania that deserves your attention even in a year with quality entries in the genre. It might not innovate, but it has style in spades and just enough heart to make its android hero feel decidedly human.
Another Crab's Treasure is a scrappy, succinct and soggy soulslike that doesn't just pay homage to FromSoft's pioneering efforts but stands out in its own right. There's no getting around the fact that it has serious issues of performance and polish that can really bring down the experience, but it's...
Injustice: Gods Among Us
From the moment I started playing Injustice: Gods Among Us it was clear that the game was an extremely well thought out game that would appeal to the masses. NeatherRealm were extremely careful in staying true to the character and worlds of these DC characters and they did so brilliantly....
Metro: Last Light
Speaking of linearity, the game has an annoying habit of pulling control away from the player to showcase an ‘exciting’ and ‘explosion filled’ event, like a railcar flipping over you, or you flipping off a railcar, or you generally flipping and falling off many things in general. It’s meant to...
Much like its predecessor, The Banner Saga 2 finds an excellent spot in the Switch’s library. It’s a sequel that refines rather than evolves any of the key gameplay elements, but still manages to feel like an important piece of the series’ narrative puzzle.
The World Ends With You Final Remix is fantastic. A unique ARPG packed with a brilliant story, fun gameplay, and a fascinating premise, everything about it screams instant classic. Don’t sit out on this one, especially if you can get around the initially jarring control options.
The game spends a lot of time getting right and improving upon its predecessor, and it does so admirably with some nice features, with the noted additions to the career, more advanced player training and an even more refined ‘Ultimate Team’ section, which has been the heart of the franchise...
There are a lot of people that think the sport of soccer (or football for our international friends) is just not entertaining. While I disagree with this statement, it could be asked exactly what would make soccer MORE exciting? If your answer was “cars”, then you’re totally right. Enter Rocket League,...
TopSpin 2K25 is without doubt the best tennis game since the last Top Spin game. It succeeds at finding the all important balance of risk versus reward that the foundation of Tennis is built on, and whilst it's not perfect, it provides a solid base for 2K to build on.
The Evil Within
Nearly every moment of The Evil Within is filled with tension. For this reason, I find it hard to imagine that most people will be able to sit and play for hours at a time. The developers seemed to be aware of this and have delivered the game in a...
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an immense and expansive middle chapter of this ambitious remake trilogy. A reimagined and redefined behemoth of a game that simultaneously plays on nostalgia and forces you to question your memories of the original. While it suffers from some rote open world elements and a...
