Considering Exo One can also be completed in 90 minutes, you really don't get a lot of bang for your buck. However, if you're looking for a calming and relaxing game that will assuredly be unlike anything you've experienced before, Exo One will check these boxes, just be prepared to...
But as it is, Hextech Mayhem is still a shockingly fun title to just kill an evening with. It's not long, it's barely challenging, but it is inherently enjoyable, and in my eyes that is a huge win for one of the first spinoff titles coming from Riot's publishing division...
All in all, Bright Memory: Infinite is quite a conflicting one for me, because in places it's very impressive: The visuals and gunplay is genuinely fantastic. But at the same time, it's seriously let down in a lot of other places, mainly the weird and difficult to follow narrative, the...
With all of this being said, I did really enjoy my time with Epic Chef. This is a title that is largely fun and unique and will likely resonate with the life-sim fanbase. It isn't perfect, but it has plenty of depth and variety that keeps it fresh, even if...
Yet with these minor issues on the side, if Jurassic World Evolution 2 has done anything, it has consolidated Frontier as one of the best, if not the pinnacle of developers when it comes to the simulation genre. This game is fun, largely well-made, and is rarely disappointing, but at...
All in all, I actually think that Bloodshore is quite a fun game. It's a story that can be enjoyed in around 90 minutes, unless you intend to go back and replay for alternative endings, and while it definitely won't drive the same award buzz as the latest blockbusters or...
Yet, with this being said, I still firmly believe that Riders Republic is a pretty special game. Sure, the ghosts can be annoying and the item rating system is flawed, but these are only slight issues that arise after sinking a bunch of hours into the game over a few...
I really don't have a lot of pessimistic or negative things to say about Nuclear Blaze. This is a game that is meant to be enjoyed from the get-go and through to its very end, and it has been designed in such a way to befit this without every feeling...
Either way, The Procession to Calvary shows one thing for certain: that Richardson has a handle on medieval comedy. This game is daft, funny, and a perfect way to spend an evening, especially if Monty Pythonesque humour is right up your street. If it isn't, I'd highly recommend grabbing this...
All of this is great, and anyone who never had the chance to play the original Toy Soldiers can be glad to know that this HD version is offering a way to explore that iconic indie game once again. But, as far as remasters go, Toy Soldiers HD is one...
And that about sums up my experience with this game. A Little Golf Journey is still a genuinely relaxing and fun title, which is hard to fault. It's not overly complex or challenging, and that's what makes it such a delight to play. It's the sort of game that's perfect...
But despite this minor niggle, I've found Inscryption to be one of the most entertaining games of the year. This is an experience that is addictive and engaging, and not overly complex, which is often an issue card battlers face. As far as a spooky season game goes, Inscryption won't...
