Although Highwater’s combat is frustrating at times, and its story is a tad derivative, it’s still an incredibly enjoyable and hyper relevant game because of its core messages and lore.
Although Tomb Raider Remastered does a phenomenal job at updating the original titles’ graphics, it doesn’t improve their abysmal controls or dated gameplay.
Helldivers 2 is the third-person Starship Troopers title that never was, which means that if you’ve been looking for an excuse to get into a bug fight, it’s absolutely worth picking up the title so you can do your part to stop the alien menace.
War Hospital’s anti-war sentiment is commendable, but its gameplay and narrative are simply too lacklustre compared to its contemporaries to make it worth purchasing at full price.
Ready or Not is not only a near-perfect video game, but one that advances the medium in a way that no game has before.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023)’s campaign is comically bad, its Zombies mode is zonked and its multiplayer just kind of sucks.
Thirsty Suitors, while not for everyone, is full of wit, charm and everything good about indie games.

Torn Away
