Now mind you, I did get confirmation that a day-one patch was coming that might possibly improve performance on these two platforms, but my review build didn’t have that so I can’t comment on it. I’d assume current gen consoles like the PS5 or XSX are fine considering we’ve seen...
And I know what I’m complaining about here is an accessibility issue. Sifu is a hard game, where overcoming the challenge is the reward. Getting your ass beat by a particular boss over and over until it clicks is such a satisfying feeling. It’s just that I want as many...
Now I’m not sure if it’s because the transition to a 3D art style makes it easier to take in the environment to better judge jumps, or if the game’s difficulty was purposely toned down, but OlliOlli World is definitely easier to play through than its predecessors. There wasn’t really...
I think my main gripe with the mechanic is that it all just feels like an artificial way of getting you to make a mistake at night and trigger a chase or something. Playing at night already comes with its own risk/reward system. You can either go in and out...
The biggest offender is that there’s not even a training mode to jump into, which for a game as particular as Windjammers is, seems a bit unforgivable. To learn how to play there’s just a quick slideshow you have to memorize as you can’t refer to it while in a...
Portal is where the game starts to get its groove back and honestly, it’s where DICE should have really doubled down on entirely. Portal is a new mode in Battlefield where you can create custom games using elements from previous Battlefield games like 1942, Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3....
Thankfully you’re free to get up from the table to stretch your legs and poke around whenever you’re not actively playing a game. Free from the table, you’re able to explore your surroundings to uncover items that will help you get one step closer to freedom. Some puzzles are a...
There’s a lot to love with Hot Wheels Unleashed, with just a few minor nitpicks here and there, but there’s one issue with the game that might upset some folk and that’s the severe difficulty spike when going from Easy to Medium. There’s an unusually wide skill gap between the...
Don’t get me wrong, there are some moments where the two collide together in this really wonderful way. You’ll sometimes find yourself sliding through these bizarre alien worlds playing your guitar, where the music and visuals match in a way I haven’t seen since Journey. But for the most part,...
Despite how well the game nails the aesthetics of the franchise, a major issue with the game is the lack of a quickplay option. I was never able to find another player to play with (besides my fellow staff members) because the way matchmaking works is you select a mission...
Hacking is also used in the game’s logic puzzles that you’ll only ever see a handful of times throughout the game. You’ll come across these pipe systems that need to be activated to send energy down the pipeline to trigger an activator on the other end. Most of these are...
This is all really fun in theory, but in practice, I didn’t quite experience the game how I thought I was going to. I looped through the game about four times, and none through any fault of my own they were all forced story moments. After my first loop, I...
