If you’ve got a friend to sit down with or an online buddy then you’ll definitely have mindless fun with this game. There is still fun to be had if you’re playing by yourself but don’t expected to be wowed by the production values or story. Most of the replayability...
Most of the gameplay revolves around destroying various things and there is a insanely wide variety of inventive ways to cause destruction, using weapons, vehicles, explosives and of course, your tethers. Simply put, it’s fun. Systematically tethering fuel tanks together and strategically placing rocket powered C4 translates to a substantially...
The Crush House is a clever and entertaining spin on reality television - one that has its tongue firmly in cheek, but which also speaks to deeper themes in the metanarrative I'm working hard not to spoil here. It's repetitive and a little unfair at times, but also compelling and...
Online multiplayer is also back with a few new features. A player can now issue an SOS whilst playing and a random online player can see their message and choose to join their match to help out. You can also do this for others as well. Traditional multiplayer is also...
Towerborne
After crafting one of the most arresting tactics trilogies of all-time in The Banner Saga, which had a recognisable identity in its own right, I do applaud Stoic for venturing beyond the relative safety of their pedigree in trying something new. It doesn’t offer the same emotional resonance, however Towerborne’s...
Arizona Sunshine 2 is a bloody, pulpy and, most importantly, meaty experience that turns undead dismemberment from a somewhat dated trope into a fun workout that gives you more than enough toys to play with. And with a loyal pup at your side, this sequel is not only a blast...
Metro Exodus shows some heart, and it's clear the developers have poured a lot into this third chapter of Artyom's story. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that keep the game from hitting the standard set by its predecessors. Pacing is hamstrung by the ambitious misfire of an 'open-world',...
Call of Duty: Ghosts
But one of the biggest changes for online would have to be the character customisation. For years gamers have wanted to make their own soldier and now they can, even having the choice of playing as a female avatar for the very first time in the series.?Extinction mode is probably...
On the back of Phantom Liberty, along with a really substantial rebuild of all of the game’s core systems, Cyberpunk 2077 manages to wash its hands of its past failures and emerges as the genuine article. At last, it’s the intoxicating escape I once thought it was and stands out,...
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is completely at odds with itself. At times, it doesn’t feel like an expansion – featuring just more of the same rote quest designs that you’ve seen in Elder Scrolls Online. At other times, the writing is some of the best in the entirety of...
Playing Persona 5 Strikers is like being blessed with a reunion special of a beloved series that ended years ago. It feels different, perhaps through a new lens or just more timely, but the characters you grew to cherish are all back for one last, terrific adventure. Omega Force's influence...
Despite its technical woes and pervasive simplicity, there's just enough of a spark in Princess Peach Showtime! that it had won me over by the time the curtains closed. It might not be deserving of a standing ovation but it's certainly got the stage presence to attract an audience. It's...
