Subnautica, and now its sequel, have been lauded for being a visual treat on the bigger consoles, and this is justified. It’s not just that the game renders detailed, complex environments to explore, but additionally, it’s the art direction that’s so appealing. The artists have struck the perfect balance between...
Total War: Rome was the really big breakout moment for the series, and as a bona fide classic, the remaster makes sense – even if it is just for the sake of nostalgia. I don’t think the strategy genre necessarily lends itself to modernisation when the thing that needs moderising...
At least I’m not stuck with the silly name, because one of the more unusual tweaks in R-Type Final 2 is that you can opt to change the display name on menus. That’s why, technically speaking, this isn’t a review of R-Type Final 2. It’s a review of my chosen...
With that being said, nothing can detract from the joy of taking photos of the little critters and then printing them out for a real-life photo album. I know it’s a fairly expensive outlay, but I consider the Instax Link Mini to be essential to the Pokémon Snap. Prints from...
A few years ago, if you had have told me that there would be a gothic horror Resident Evil, I would have laughed. What RE has traditionally done and the gothic tradition are so far apart they’re almost antithetical. And yet, that is what Village has delivered. While this might...
So let’s go through the list of all that is great about Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. It’s a completely individual title that slides in nicely with what I shall, in the future, refer to as D’Avekki lore; it can be played alone, or it can be played before...
Also, I mention this in the interest of thoroughness, but it won’t affect my score, as I’m assuming patches are incoming: I had a few crashes while playing, which you can imagine would be particularly frustrating on those occasions where I thought I was making pretty good progress. Once my...
I know I’ve said this at least a dozen times now, but I do think Shantae deserves better than the platformer genre. She’s just too good of a character to waste on a genre that doesn’t really do narrative. Give her an RPG or something, WayForward. In the meantime, though,...
Regardless of the protagonist, NieR is a remarkable piece of art, and this remaster touches up the issues people had with the original without compromising what made it such an impactful work. It’s going to be interesting to see if people give it the look that it deserves this time...
I genuinely love Balan Wonderworld because it caught me at just the right moment to indulge its whimsy. I don’t for a second think it’s a great game or platformer, but then I also just don’t care. It offers something much more viscerally engaging; raw creative energy, and I would...
Black Legend is not completely without merit, but it’s a game that had better ideas than execution. The big, unique gameplay mechanic that dominates its combat system is also responsible for making each battle far too long, and while the game’s atmosphere is excellent, the art direction is uninteresting and...
I’m legitimately upset that I didn’t enjoy I Saw Black Clouds more. It seemed to have so much promise. There were glimmers of hope – I really enjoyed the classic ghost story until that was yanked into another direction, one that I still don’t think makes a whole lot of...
