Embr
Embr is a good game, on PC. The console port for Xbox, even on a Series X, isn’t up to snuff. I would keep an eye on this though in case it ever gets a performance-enhancing patch, as the core gameplay loop can be seriously fun. It’s a shame that...
Sable
Sable is unusual in that it puts the player firmly in control of how they want to play it. I cannot think of another game that has given me the choice to complete the story whenever I was ready, at whatever pace I chose. With a unique atmosphere conjured up...
This is a game that came close to greatness for me, but in the end the combat held it back. I still quite enjoyed my time with it thanks to the story, and I am very interested to see what developer Zoink is working on next. As it is not...
If I were reviewing this game on multiple platforms it would be a nightmare as it’s obvious that PC was the lead platform by a mile. There is a lot of potential and if a good amount of time has passed since release I’d suggest you look up the patches...
The Artful Escape takes its focus on identity even further by letting you choose the rock persona you want Francis to take on. There’s a point in the story where you’re given the opportunity to use a character editor to completely customise Francis into the rock god that suits your...
Do not get me wrong: Madden NFL 22 is a good game for football fans, but it is also as good as it was three years ago. If you spend hundreds of hours playing the series every year, you should be happy with the (few) new additions and still get...

SkyDrift Infinity is not a looker by today’s standards, or honestly even for its time. But the 60 FPS gameplay is all you need, and it excels in that with flying colours on the Xbox Series X. If you put this game into an arcade cabinet at Chuck-E-Cheese, it would...
The Big Con
In conclusion, This is an unusual game with a unique visual appearance and gameplay that revolves around interacting with everyone that you come across. There are lots of nineties references, some comedy moments, and a serious story at the bottom of it all. Criminality has never been so much fun,...
WRC 10
In short, Nacon’s WRC 10 improves on the already solid rallying formula of last year’s game, delivering a fun and exciting driving model, many cars and events across decades of the sport, and a very open-ended career mode. The general presentation remains fairly dated, however, and the lack of depth...
Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge is one of my favorite indie games of the past generation. It has the feeling of being like Metroid but solidifying its own identity with unique gameplay ideas. The story kept me interested to a great extent and I am really curious to see what will happen in the sequel. While...
I will forever be confounded that this game exists as it does. With texture-work that would look at home PS2 and RPG mechanics that could go back even further it feels like a relic. There is nothing egregiously wrong with it, and if the battle system looks interesting to you,...
