Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is without a doubt the lowest point in this rebooted Modern Warfare series, and one of (if not the) lowest points in the series altogether, but that's not just because of the limited and rushed content, it's also because Call of Duty as a...
But if you can stomach the control issues, WarioWare: Move It is a fun party game once again. The main other issue is that Nintendo clearly doesn't intend to take any risks with this series at all, as Move It reminds me of pretty much every other WarioWare game that...
But this doesn't detract from the fact that Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is the next interesting step forward by Riot in expanding and continuing to tell stories in the League of Legends universe beyond the MOBA. For anyone interested in the fantasy realm, this is a...
So, sure the combat is a bit basic, the narrative middling at best, the enemy AI and actions are awful and highly predictable, the pacing too steady, and there are a fair collection of glitches when you mine and rip apart a wall with your pickaxe, but besides from these...
But the key thing to take away with when it comes to Super Mario Bros. Wonder is how it isn't really looking to rewrite the script of what we've come to expect from a Super Mario Bros. title, instead it's refining and perfecting the experience we've come to know and...
The theme of Wizard with a Gun is genuinely unique and interesting, and I do think it stands out in the indie space, but considering some of the absolute gems that we've have land from indie creators so far in this year alone, it's difficult to put Wizard with a...
While I won't deny that Saltsea Chronicles has a slow pace that often leaves a little to be desired, this indie adventure game does have its moments. I wouldn't call it a homerun as it does struggle to entertain at times, but where it lacks in thrill it does make...
But don't be mistaken by these minor annoyances, Forza Motorsport is a very well made racer with solid graphics, top performance (bar a few infinite loading screens), brilliant menus that feel intuitive and quick, and a decent physics engine powering the whole thing. This is a very well made game....
There's no denying that The Crew Motorfest has some serious competition in the open-world racing space, and looking at my time with the game, two things are apparent. First, the game isn't currently at the same level of quality and structure as that of Forza Horizon 5, which is a...
Yet, I'm not going to tell you that Fae Farm is a gamechanger in the life-sim space. Within a few hours of playing this title, I get the same impression as that of first booting and starting a Disney Dreamlight Valley or My Time at Portia adventure. It's nothing we...
Goodbye Volcano High has definitely surprised me. Clearly KO_OP has a knack for this style of game, as this is one of the better narrative-heavy titles on the market. It has its kinks for sure, but generally, this is definitely a game to check out if you've ever wondered what...
Still, even though it does have its dull moments, for the most part, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is an absolutely wonderful interactive fiction adventure game. It's compelling, features genuine humour and emotion, has unique and ingenious mechanics, and importantly, is beautifully animated. Deconstructeam has an affinity for pixel-based artwork and...
