It's for these reasons I can't help but be impressed by The Sinking City 2. Again, there are areas and places where innovation and improvements could make a difference, but you'll also truly enjoy your time with this Lovecraftian take on the survival horror genre, and because of this game,...
Simply put, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a complicated and rather hardcore shooter experience. This will either be the perfect shooter for you or it'll be your worst nightmare - there really isn't a middle-ground for this game. Regardless, love it or hate it, Expression has created a title with...
D-topia isn't perfect and it might be a tad too slowly-paced for some players to enjoy, but if you just embrace the relaxed nature and chip away at the game on a day-to-day basis, you'll likely find yourself steadily adoring it more and more. The characters are interesting to learn...
As you can see there are areas where I feel as though improvements could have been made to simply elevate the end product, changes that would make Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced feel like a true and modernised remake and less of a more beautifully packaged remaster-like update to the...
So long story short, while Moonlight Peaks doesn't really do much to challenge the dynamics of the life-sim genre, what Little Chicken has cooked up with this game is entertaining and charming enough to keep you coming back for more. It's familiar and perhaps a bit safe in places, but...
And Roger isn't a complex game nor a long one, in fact, from a gameplay perspective it's rather succinct and basic. But what TearyHand Studio has also cooked up with this game is a hugely impactful and emotionally-complex story that will leave an impression far longer than the approximate one-hour...
So anyway, we come full circle to the Steel Hunters debacle again, as after playing both the now-defunct game and the next live-service project being churned out by Wargaming, it's clear that the former project had a more unique theme to it. Again, World of Tanks: Heat fundamentally works, but...
So yes, 007 First Light has plenty of hits and plenty of misses. In answer to the question earlier, there is enough in this game to give you confidence in IO Interactive and its broader vision for this style of a James Bond game, with plenty of ambition and quality...
This is a game, which while not particularly mechanically complex, has been crafted with such a clear creative vision that it's hard to fault. Every part of Mixtape feels as though it belongs, be it the stop-motion-like animated characters, the picturesque and colourful artistic direction, the straightforward but refined narrative...

But hey, don't let these critiques dissuade you from checking out Mouse: P.I. For Hire. At the end of the day, Fumi Games is an indie developer and this is their debut project, and taking that into account it's hard not to be anything but impressed by what the team...
Life is Strange: Reunion stands out as a game that you will look more or less favourably on depending on how much time and energy you are willing to give it. Do you have the commitment to replay the story several times, re-experiencing certain moments and chapters under the caveat...
So long story short, Super Meat Boy 3D comes across as a game that doesn't evolve the series but rather takes it down a different path it doesn't need to explore. The theme, the tone, the style, it all still comes across as authentically Super Meat Boy, but the gameplay...
