LEGO 2K Drive
But despite the questionable MTXs and some “rookie errors” when it comes to the open world, I had a blocky good time with LEGO 2K Drive in the past week or so. A bright, colourful and exciting open world that spreads LEGO love from all its pores is explored via...
Teslagrad 2
On the bright side, the electricity-based powers are really fun. Our fair maiden can teleport, slide, defy the polar opposites, and more. You’ll need to time the use of your powers to pass through walls, create them, stick to ’em, etc. The pacing of the levels are tight enough that...
Mia and the Dragon Princess is worth a look if you are a fan of this type of game. Impressive acting talent is present although they are in full-on ‘hamming it up’ mode, the fight scenes are well choreographed and there are a few killer lines of dialogue. If the...
Ravenlok
In Ravenlok’s well-paced narrative and gameplay structure, I’m sad to say that I didn’t find the game to be very compelling. For every fun puzzle there was another quest or dull combat sequence that I button mashed out of with ease. Still, I could appreciate the expectations the game places...
Redfall
Redfall is fantastic in most ways. A few baffling design decisions around its co-op implementation and some frustrating technical issues hold it back. It is fun as hell solo, and ridiculously so in co-op. With a little post-launch support it is going to become something special. This may end up...
Despite these gripes though, I came away pleased with the time I’d spent in Limbo. There’s a lot of heart to the game, and a true passion oozing out of every tentacle from the team that put it together. If you can handle some curious design quirks, a few bugs,...
Varney Lake
With a low play time of 2 hours or less, I would definitely recommend this game if you are at all interested. The story is engaging, even though it ends abruptly. You might feel yourself wanting more, but if you save your progress along the way, you can go back...
STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor continues Respawn’s run as one of the best in the industry. It is an incredible accomplishment, blending top-tier gameplay and narrative in a package few games can match. Performance during my review was rough, but if they can smooth it out then this is a game...
At the end of the day, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is loaded with even more content and more ways to play said content. The changes to the weapons, to the gear and the added variety in both monsters and locale, make this an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys the...
Strayed Lights
There is a lot to like about Strayed Lights. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of ReCore in that you can see how close the developer got to something truly great, but a few key decisions and some overly ambitious design choices just held the game back. As...
Afterimage
I had a good time with Afterimage. Its levels got more and more interesting as you progressed, the characters you’d run into were well-acted and I liked the interactions Renee had with them. There’s a lot of game to go through with Afterimage, multiple endings in fact. And though I...
