So, should you play Overwatch 2? Absolutely. It may seem contradictory to say, but whether you're a fan of the series, or a fan or shooters, or usually stave away from them, you should pick this game up and test it out, because as far as free-to-play titles go, this...
Isonzo
But generally speaking, I can't go out on a whim and tell you that Isonzo is some huge improvement or unique take on the shooter genre, because it just isn't. It's not a bad shooter experience at all, but it does feel rather barebones at times and a little exhausting...
While I do think Steelrising lacks some of the marvel and ambition that for example Elden Ring embodies, this is still a formidable and entertaining action-RPG. It's challenging, set in a beautifully realised world crammed to the brim with opportunity and threats, and plays fluidly and smoothly. It's not at...
So, all in all, Destroy All Humans 2 - Reprobed is a bit of a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I love how simple and straightforward and daft the gameplay is, where you can focus your efforts on tearing apart the world and terrorising the humans that live...
Generally speaking however, I found myself rather impressed by Midnight Fight Express. It's a not a perfect action game in any sense, but it does serve as a great example of how fun beat 'em up brawler type games can be, and that if done in a similar manner, that...
All in all, We Are OFK doesn't quite have that same gripping nature as some other interactive stories do, but what it does have is a boatload of charm and character. Its simplistic design is often positive, and its visuals and appearance are very eye-catching. As I said, it's one...
While I'm not particularly blown away by Rollerdrome at all, I can say that the game plays very well, the art style is absolutely wonderful and creative, and that the concept is truly top-notch. But is this more than a quick almost arcade-like sports game fit for a few hours...
Still, any PC players who have yet to experience this game should see the PC edition of Spider-Man Remastered as nothing less than a must-have, because this game remains one of the greatest PlayStation titles to date, and this port does very little to detract and hurt that impression in...
All in all though, this is a truly wonderful game. It's adorable yet horrific, easy to understand and play yet challenging, and has a great balance between roguelike thrill and calming life simulation. It's also designed in such a way that you'll want to come back to it and to...
But generally speaking, I've come to really like Hard West 2. I do strongly believe that its crushing difficulty will alienate a lot of players, and that that might just be the biggest turnoff for a lot of fans. But for any X-COM and turn-based strategy veterans who are used...
All in all, Two Point Campus has really impressed me with what I've seen of it. It isn't the most gripping of games out there, but it's super easy to get into, very entertaining, and really nails the feeling of being back at university - something that is helped by...
There are clear highlights when it comes to Live A Live, but I can't help but feel that for the most part, this is a game that will struggle to hold a player's attention, and will struggle to make someone want to return and keep checking it out. If you...
