There’s not too much more that can be said about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is effectively a “remaster” from the Wii U original to the Nintendo Switch. The extra content is great, and the addition of the battle mode back into the game is the masterstroke; I do believe...
Thankfully for many people, Bulletstorm’s re-release is a chance to check out a title that wasn’t exactly a hit the first time around. It’s a cool little game that pokes fun at a lot of what is wrong with AAA First Person Shooters, and a lot of it is still...
The problem with the package is that it’s difficult to argue that any of the games in it a bona fide classics. For the most part, they’re enjoyable, but we’re also not talking about games in the leagues of the original Sonic the Hedgehog or Super Mario Bros, Mega Man,...
That ending notwithstanding, Kona is a trip worth taking. It’s a beautiful, moody showcase of the snowy wilds of northern Canada, and a slow-burning mystery steeped in atmosphere. Play it for the journey, not the destination.
There’s a lot to like in Vikings, even if the game’s never able to effectively articulate how it’s different to the genre’s greats. It manages – just – to be more than a by-the-numbers Diablo clone thanks to the creative energy that went into its bosses and environment design, but...
Like I said at the start, Fated: The Silent Oath is exactly the kind of game that VR was made for, and it’s nice to finally see the technology put to work on small, intimate, emotive character drama. The good news is that this is the first part of what’s...
Still, I got over my issues with the “gameplay,” and it was worth doing so, because Goichi Suda’s love letter to Noir is so striking and vivid that it’s a game I’ll not soon forget. By turns shocking, darkly humorous, confounding, and always creative, this was Suda-san’s first game as...
I had a great time playing The Inner World and was sad to say goodbye to its wacky denizens, the cheeky humour and the fairytale world of Asposia. The transition from original PC game to PS4 is solid and I’m happy to say the controls and uncluttered menu system work...
MLB The Show 17 is the only AAA baseball game in town, but the series is clearly not content resting on its laurels. With notable improvements in several areas and increased accessibility to try and hook newcomers, baseball fans should find a lot to like about this year’s release. Play...
It’s probably just as well Sony gave this thing away for free with PSPlus memberships. It’s the only hope the game has of actually keeping an audience (because it’s a multiplayer-only game, it needs a large and sustained community). But if David Jaffe genuinely wants to make a transgressive game,...
Andromeda is still Mass Effect, and for some that might be enough, but this avenue needs more to be held in similar esteem. It does reach a satisfying conclusion, at least as far as the buildup warrants, but it takes the long way around. It does hit something that feels...
and deck builder, combined with some zany creatures and topped off with some insane levels of difficulty. Perhaps it is the requirement of balance that made me love a game with such randomness behind it, as balancing my turns or the cards made me feel powerful in a world of...
