All in all, Bye Sweet Carole is a game that you should come to solely for the story and the wonderful art direction. It's a fascinating idea with great potential, but the execution of this title and how it's fundamentally structured as a video game could be benefitted by a...
So long story short, Battlefield 6 is the return to form that we've been desiring for this franchise. It's a remarkable and entertaining multiplayer experience that has so much added potential thanks to the avenues that the expanded Portal promise. Its single-player story is missable and forgettable, but at the...
There's just something tonally off about the way that King of Meat is put together and while I won't deny that the gameplay has its moments and that Glowmade has a vision here that could work out and lead to a lot of fun for players around the world, I...
But this is just the thing with Dying Light: The Beast, as keeping all of these thoughts in mind, it's still a fun game to play. The thrill of learning the map and finding your own parkour routes to follow, the fear of being chased by Volatiles at the zenith...
But looking at Henry Halfhead as it is, as a game that you can snag for considerably less than you can rent a new film at home for, there's plenty to appreciate here. It's simple, sweet, adorable, unique, and wholesome, and sometimes amid the chaos and noise of action games,...
So, while I can't say whether you'll find much joy in finding all of the collectibles and having to explore Kairos, especially multiple times as you level up the different Vault Hunters, I can promise that Borderlands 4 is a step forward for this series, an improvement on Borderlands 3,...
So long story short, The Knighting is a fine action-adventure game with some strong ideas and elements. There's plenty of charisma and quality at the heart of this game, and it's broad and packed enough to keep you engaged until the credits roll. But, and despite its immediately noticeable similarities...
It might sound like I'm bashing Herdling, but these are pretty basic things that the game should get right, and frankly if it did, Okomotive would have a rather lovely and charming indie game on its hands. As it stands, at least on Switch, it's hard to recommended Herdling, as...
Ultimately, what Messhof has created here is a wonderful and charming indie adventure. Wheel World is an easy to pick up and enjoyable experience that doesn't require much investment from the player, despite having a fabulous balance of fun gameplay, memorable visuals, and customisable features. For a title that you...
Again, there are elements of this expansion that are excellent and true highlights for the future of Destiny 2, but there is so much surrounding them that generates no joy whatsoever. Whether that's the frustrating progression, the new destination design that makes exploration a nuisance, a lack of actual new...
Nintendo clearly decided to go above and beyond in a mechanical sense in this game, and I can appreciate this but it hasn't always been for the benefit of the overall whole, and that's where I think Donkey Kong Bananza stumbles the most. If you enjoy 3D platformers, you'll have...
Shiny Shoe captured lighting in a bottle with the original game and this sequel just builds on that great formula further. For anyone searching for an enjoyable and engaging game to play for 30 or so minutes at a time, or anyone looking to hunker down for hours at a...
