Latest Reviews
I love this game’s approach to morals and ethics whilst being absolutely captivated by the outrageously authentic environment, in particular it’s loveable and charming inhabitants. There are a couple of hitches such as loading screens or an extremely rare instance of frame rate dropping when I moved the camera too fast...
Far Cry 4
Perks have been streamlined as well into two paths of 16 skills each and most are just taken from 3. Some are locked behind sidequests and unlockables (smart) but a lot are locked behind story missions (not smart). There’s nothing spectacular about them, except it’s a shame they’ve streamlined them...
Octopath Traveler is truly a charming and wonderful J-RPG that has reminded me that there's still a place for old classics. Some might call it dated, I'd call it ageless and even peerless when held up against a recent generation of watered down, Westernised role-playing games. Square Enix delivers a...
Necrobarista
Necrobarista tells a beautiful, heart-wrenching story of the human experience expertly told with dialogue that resonates more than once. I was enthralled by the world and enamoured with its characters, despite minor complaints with the polish of an otherwise impressive visual style. In crafting their 3D visual novel, Route 59 has...
Biomutant
Biomutant is a vibrant and beautiful looking game that unsuccessfully attempts to leverage so many different aspects of open-world games from the last decade. It buckles under the weight of its own ambition and is sorely lacking the focus needed to offer a stand-out open-world experience and carve out its...
Dynasty Warriors 8
The AI remains as dumb as a brick. While usually this wouldn’t be a problem seeing as this is Dynasty Warriors, 8 decided to add some objectives that DON’T revolve around simply killing an officer or….killing more officers. Having to escort an ally to a designated location is infuriating especially...
MLB 14 The Show
The biggest let down of the game is its online system. The developers stated that it was built from the ground up to fix connection problems that the series has been criticised for. Unfortunately, lag is still a huge issue and makes the game almost unplayable online. This is obviously...
It’s clear that Untitled Goose Game is a labour of love from House House. It’s an entertaining honk-filled romp that’s guaranteed to satisfy anyone’s wanting to become a goose. Your first playthrough will no doubt be your best due to the restrictive design, but the hidden objectives and unique environments...
I came away from Tales of Arise with a new appreciation for the Tales series. I loved my time with the endearing cast of characters and the exciting, fast-paced story alongside the energetic and action-packed battles. Tales of Arise is an excellent action RPG, and a fantastic entry point into...
Fe
Like Unravel before it, Fe is another triumph for the EA Originals program as Zoink don't hesitate to flex their creative muscle. Despite a few foibles, the core mechanics are sound enough. Though it's in its world-building and artistic direction that Fe truly shines, with a spacious map that sparks...
The Definitive Edition includes all the previous DLC that was released on PS3 and 360 last year. This includes all of the Multiplayer maps and also the additional costumes that were released. There is one small nit pick from this release. I feel that the developers could’ve tried to ensure...
There are some elements in place to help guide the player but they are done so in a way that doesn’t ruin the mystery of the puzzle although sometimes these err on the edge of being way too obvious. Finding a hole in the wall and seeing Paul think “Fire-Axe...
