Then again, while this suite of options is probably something those playing on console will find interesting, I can’t see it appealing to all too many PC players - simply because there are already a multitude of Fallout 4 mods out there that do a similar, if not better, job...
All of this almost feels like a shame because visually Citizens of Earth looks fantastic. It captures the pseudo-retro SNES aesthetic it works ever so hard to achieve, ever so well. Given the lacklustreous nature of the characters, the voice acting is also surprisingly intuitive. But overall there is just...
But perhaps I’m being a bit of a sissy. After 18 missions of blood, blood, sweat, blood, and tears, I felt like I’d achieved something. I felt like someone should be presenting me with a medal. The war was won, but at the same time I couldn’t shake the feeling...
A Story About My Uncle
Unfortunately, the last quarter of A Story About My Uncle does become a little too repetitive, and slightly overly obscure grapple set pieces require blind luck more often than skill. That said, this is still a great adventure - one which will return you to childhood fantasy, and one which...
Watch Dogs
Although reluctant to make comparisons with the Grand Theft Auto series, the fact that Watch Dogs doesn’t quite match the same free roaming open-world standard quickly becomes an obvious elephant in the room. Ubisoft Montreal should certainly be applauded for trying something new within the bounds of the genre -...
BattleBlock Theater
In essence, BattleBlock Theatre is not without its frustrating moments, but such is the nature of all puzzle platformers. Any negatives noted here exist, but are slight and surely nothing more than minor blips in what is a very rewarding, very well presented, and very enjoyable and hilariously funny puzzle...
Croixleur Sigma
With almost all hack ‘n’ slash titles, what you see is largely what you get in Croixleur Sigma. Depth isn’t normally the genre’s strong suit but that said, some form of story - one not completely devoid of personality or entirely too reliant on the cheap tricks showcased here -...
Daylight
Upon death, Sarah regains consciousness before the message “You can’t remember, but this seems familiar” lines the foot of the screen. In note-driven Daylight, this is perhaps the most hauntingly accurate passage of the lot.
Ether One
It’s been just two days since I last player Ether One and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since. I thought about it before I went to bed last night, and the night before. I thought about it when I woke up this morning. I thought about it when I...
Strider
Match this with the Californian outfit’s reimagining of Killer Instinct last year, and it would appear they know what they’re doing when reinterpreting the classics. By adopting a Metroidvania-guise here, rather, gear-gating, Double Helix shows that it can in fact teach an old dog new tricks.
Rambo: The Video Game
“Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don’t turn it off!” said John Rambo in First Blood. As far as the videogame is concerned, I’m sorry mate, I just don’t agree.
