But again, Golden Lap isn't a flawless game. It has some really competent and excellent strengths that make it a blast to play, but at the same time, there are some areas that with a bit of improvement and refinement could have catapulted this game to extra heights. If the...
If you're searching for a challenging Soulslike that trades the traditional dark and twisted environmental design for something more upbeat and sunny, then Enotria: The Last Song is definitely something worth checking out. But if it's tighter and more intricate gameplay matched up with less frustrating quirks you're after, then...
So, when you add the typical and familiar Dead Rising quirks (such as the funky zombies that often phase through your attacks or the NPCs that are nightmares to command and protect) to the new Deluxe Edition specific features and improvements, you get a version that's a bit hit-or-miss. With...
So, all in all, Yars Rising is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, I think WayForward has done a great job bringing this older title into the modern day with top visual and audio prowess. On the other hand, it lacks a lot of the class and...
It's for this reason that I'm concerned about Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Sure, it's not a hugely pricey game, retailing at around £25, and doesn't have overwhelming monetisation efforts (even if it does have a seasonal structure and a battle pass-type mechanic...) but the lack of content is worrying and...
It's because of this that I find The Casting of Frank Stone to be very hit or miss. There are elements that stand out and continue to impress, but also many parts that hold the game back and disappoint. A more fluid gameplay style would definitely do wonders, but arguably...
So, all in all, Cat Quest III is another entertaining action-adventure-RPG from The Gentlebros. It's easy to pick up and play, has a great sense of humour, a truly free world design, fantastic art and overall aesthetic, and even has drop-in co-op. It's not the most mechanically complex game, has...
It's probably not a huge surprise to many to hear that SteamWorld Heist II is a pretty excellent strategy game considering the first game was also fantastic. Thunderful has delivered a sequel that feels like an evolution of the format that made the first game so special, with a rich...
The best words I can possibly use to describe The Operator is that never once during my playthrough of this game did I wish I was on the other end of the phone call, in the heat of the action in the field, ducking under gunshots and evading danger. Bureau...
The one thing I will say about this game that works in its favour is that it's very competitively priced. You can pick up a copy for £20, and for £20 you get a very interesting sci-fi, cyberpunk, noir experience. Critical Hit Games clearly has a lot of talent and...
It's partly this self-awareness that makes Anger Foot such a delight to play. The absurd nature makes it stand out and shine, although that's not all that excels here. It doesn't overstay its welcome, it constantly adds additional challenge and variety through new enemy types, more weapons, and fresh biomes,...
Even though The First Descendant has a strange aesthetic that doesn't seem to really know what it wants to be, a strange mash-up of high-fantasy meets gritty sci-fi, there are elements of this game that made me want to keep playing. The gunplay, Descendant options, buildcrafting, visuals and graphics, action,...
