Splitgate
It doesn’t matter if the game is not going to win awards for originality though because the massive player numbers and hype prove this formula is resonating with players. And it’s no accident: the core gameplay is a mixture of highly polished elements taken from some of the best arena...
Sheepo
I enjoyed my time with Sheepo, at US$9.99 it is perfectly priced for its length and executes all it sets out to achieve. If you are feeling burnt out by the endless hours in modern AAA releases and are looking for a palette cleanser this is a great experience to...
NHL 22
Sports games are a tough sell, especially when the Series version of the game is now $70. Thankfully if you have Game Pass Ultimate you get a 10-hour free trial through the EA Play part of the subscription. If you love the sport and want the best looking and playing...
I went into this title hopeful but unsure of what to expect. I’ve come out of my time with the game stunned at just how damned fun it is. It is such a wild mix of incredibly deep base building with light tower defence, and excellent twin-stick shooting. The type...
In conclusion, due to its origin and the number of words constantly displayed on screen Disco Elysium – The Final Cut sometimes comes across more as a visual novel than anything else. It is rare for a game to have such historical depth and deeply complex narrative and therefore it...
And that sort of carelessness is what transpires from this re-edition of this exciting Sonic The Hedgehog game. When we’re speeding through the game’s colourful and exciting locations, the Sonic Colours formula still manages to shine, and to this date, it’s arguably one of the highest points in the modern...
Back 4 Blood
Few games have a beta a couple of months ahead of launch that somehow plays better than the retail release. Back 4 Blood is one of them, and I’m baffled how it happened. If they can fix up the controls, or you’re like my friend who seems to think bad...
Far Cry 6
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Far Cry 6. I’ve loved and hated the series (I’m looking at you Far Cry 5’s ending…). This game is a triumph in every way. They have fixed so many of the issues I had in the past. Gone is the map bloat,...
Banana Mania offers so many playable modes and levels that I was instantly in love. For its initial asking price, the game is a steal. Although ultimately how this game appeals to someone will vary on whether or not the gameplay clicks with them. It can be fun, and there...
In Sound Mind
At the start of the review, I asked myself if this was the horror game to finally click with me. And long story short, the answer is yes. In Sound Mind does a good job in juggling both horror and mystery, even if it leans more towards the latter at...
In conclusion, A Juggler’s Tale is a compact but perfectly formed cinematic experience. It is beautiful to look at and has an immersive atmosphere with a level of detail that pulls the player into its world. The focus here is on story with the game being pretty relaxing to...
Again, all of these creations can be shared online, and it’s here where I expect the game will see the most longevity. I have concerns that at present at least, there doesn’t seem to be a way to allow the best tracks to float to the top, and I’m not...
