Despite a disappointing ending and some irritations with the dialogue and combat, Beyond Galaxyland is an RPG that will remind you of the heady days of your first Final Fantasy, mixed with a Pokémon blend. Its world, traversal, puzzles, and soundtrack will keep you entertained for the entirety of your...
A story campaign, a parallel PvE campaign, a 6v6 PvE mode, two different enemy factions, co-op, single-player, different Space Marine classes, more weapon loadouts, thousands of enemies on-screen. When you list it all down like that, it could sound like Saber Interactive was destined to come up short on at...
That didn't stop One Btn Bosses from being a great experience, though. It's got all the hallmarks of a bullet-hell standout and the simplicity of its gameplay design had me staying up far too late going for just one more attempt at a boss. Like Balatro before it, it's another...
Flock
It's worth noting that Flock is designed to be a multiplayer, co-op experience, but we can't really speak to that style of play as we've only had our hands on solo sessions. In that solo experience, Flock proved to be a game that creates the same warm and fuzzy feeling...
Otherwise, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is a fantastic RPG that stands out as a unique gem of the genre. It's not afraid to be whimsical and strange, nor does it compromise on making the theme of a Paper Mario game come to life with its interesting abilities and...
Harold Halibut is a lovely treat of a game. Short, sweet, packed with individuality and amazing characters made even more loveable by impressive voice performances, it is a game forged from pure passion. It is a unique experience that is sure to charm any fan of narrative-driven adventure games, proving...
Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a fun third-person shooter MOBA mix, but its ability to leave a lasting impression will vary. Its matchmaking is quick and full of action, but a lack of depth can often make games feel repetitive, when the key to a good multiplayer game is usually having...
Rise of the Ronin is going to draw a lot of comparisons as more people get their hands on it, and even though it does take inspiration from a lot of successful games, Team Ninja's work in creating a great action RPG packed with addictive combat, excellent traversal, and a...
Another saving grace of The Thaumaturge is the fact that it's listed at £30 or €34.99 for the standard version, and for that price you do get quite a lot of content. A lot of it can feel repetitive, but almost every other scrap of paper on the ground can...
At the end of the day, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is simply, effortlessly fun, and that's what you come to the moustachioed plumber for. It's another example of the commitment Nintendo has to Mario, and with tight mechanics, plenty of gameplay and varied puzzles, it is a great representation of...
A game review's job is usually to recommend a title to its audience. And yet, that job seems to have already been done, back in 2020. The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is therefore quite difficult to talk about. Besides No Return, most of the things that differentiate it...
As mentioned, I've only really experienced about half of what Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin has to offer, and so in time I will be returning to this game to see if it can actually live up to its potential. However, as it stands right now, the game...
