To conclude, Struggling is a creepy, physics-based platformer designed to test the mental resolve of its subjects. Featuring brutal puzzles and frequently stressful encounters, the bizarre hand-drawn world and perturbing storyline are enough to be fashioned from one's nightmares, unless you are accustomed to the ways of challenging physics-based platformers....
Pulling everything together, Battletoads might just end up being one of the best titles to come out of an Xbox Game Studio this year. From the gut-busting humour and the crazy gameplay variety to the cartoon visuals, wild soundtrack, and local co-op, Battletoads has managed the almost impossible and made...
With all this being said, Fight Crab really is quite fun. The design is brilliantly nostalgic, the combat is unique, and the world is so strange and wacky, sometimes it's difficult not to have a chuckle when you see a crab wielding a sawn-off. On the flip side, the replayability...
In conclusion, Destroy All Humans! is one the better remakes out there. It takes what made the 2005 original brilliant and updates it with modernised visuals and gameplay, to deliver a faithful reimagining of a crazy, sci-fi adventure. Between the satisfying weaponry and abilities, to the parody of 1960s America,...
Rocket Arena is a lot of fun, designed to be enjoyed in a light-hearted, casual manner but at the same time, it features enough depth to promote skill among talented players. The combination of its eye-catching visuals, fantastic soundtrack, unique characters, accessibility options and fresh game modes make for an...
Looking at it as a whole, Disintegration is a great starting point for an interesting future franchise. The single-player, albeit a little loose in its story and character development, plays well and offers plenty of opportunities to go back and replay missions. The online modes, on the other hand, show...
In summary, Maneater is a genuinely fun, maritime RPG featuring unique mechanics and a daft storyline. It takes the essence of GTA and channels it into a relentless ocean-based romp that somehow also manages to show the atrocious impact we humans have on our oceans. The main drawbacks, however, are...
The additions made in the Swamps of Corsus expansion and their affordable £7.19 price tag makes for a solid, rewarding experience for any fan of Remnant From the Ashes. The more developed world of Corsus, mashed together with the challenging yet enjoyable Survival roguelike experience is a great way to...
In general, Bloodroots is a great action-arcade indie title. The story, art style and soundtrack bring to life the harsh western world it's set in, but the cream of the crop is its tight, fluid combat that has so much depth to explore. Being able to explre the "world is...
Kunai
In summary, Kunai is an enjoyable 2D Metroidvania that brings the way of the samurai into the digital era for a bizarre combat-focused experience. The fighting and exploration that the title is built around is largely fun, however, the limited number of alternative options can make the game feel a...
To conclude, the fluid gunplay, cooperative gameplay, variety of enemies, weapons and upgrades, and the world generation all work together to keep the gameplay feeling fresh. However, the constantly shifting difficulty makes the game feel either too easy or too hard and eventually that inconsistency can start to wear thin....
As a summary, Black Future '88 is a challenging roguelike experience that offers lots of variety for fans of the genre to enjoy. The many unique weapons, enemies, playable characters and bosses make for exciting gameplay if you are comfortable with the punishing roguelike mechanics. Likewise, the ability to participate...
