Redfall is a humongous disappointment, as there are parts of this game that still feature semblances of that Arkane brilliance. The map has potential, there's just nothing to do in it, and the story delivers intrigue at times and shows that the small town America-meets-vampire concept is still very much...
Still, for Star Wars fans and people who enjoy action-adventure games, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a great continuation of this series. It's overflowing with references and other minor beats that each paint a wonderful and thorough picture of A Galaxy Far, Far Away, and the gameplay is simply an...
That being said, I love the concept of this game and I think it has potential for the future, there are just simply too many areas that all work against each other for God of Rock to be able to stand tall on its own right now.
While there are a few weird and unusual bugs that plague the game as well, for example certain lighting instances actually changing the colour of your golfer's hair, generally speaking, EA Sports PGA Tour is a fun and entertaining golf game that excels in the places that matter the most;...
Generally speaking, this summarises my entire time with Road 96: Mile 0. I still love the world and characters that Digixart has created and continued to develop and explore, and there's plenty of compelling ways that the studio manages to bring the story to life with peculiar and niche gameplay...
All in all, Crime Boss: Rockay City is not a disaster of a game but it is also definitely not a title that we'll be shouting from the rooftops about either. For anyone looking for a glitzy, 90s-inspired Payday (because there is enough of a heisting focus for me to...
Still, could it have been taken a step further? Perhaps. For example, could it have been seamless? Maybe. Would this have made the game just that little bit better? Without a doubt. But, none of this detracts from the fact that Resident Evil 4 is another winner. Who would have...
I do want to add that the Exotics are fantastic and really hit that power fantasy, and the new seasonal content seems to be a lot of fun, but neither of these things offset the fact that Lightfall promised so much and simply failed to deliver on its most important...
All in all, Scars Above is an entertaining yet familiar action adventure that while having its flaws, is bolstered by enough engaging gameplay elements and tropes that it makes you want to get to the end of its relatively short (for this era of games) story. It won't knock you...
Hopefully though Mundfish can iron out some of these issues on the run up until launch, because there really is a lot to love about this game. The graphics are about as "next-gen" as you can get, the world is marvellous, the audio and soundtrack is top quality, and the...
And it's for this matter that I found myself in a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ten Dates. On one hand, my previously noted gripes continue to shine through, yet on the other hand, the part of me that loves a daft rom-com, can't help but have a silly...
Yet, when you consider all of these areas, on top of the true connection to the SpongeBob brand (OG voice actors, plenty of original songs, instantly recognisable costumes that reflect specific moments in the show's lore, etc.), it's clear that The Cosmic Shake is a great addition to the platforming...
