To be completely honest, there is really not much I would change here. Certainly not everyone will fall for a little "cosy management sim", or however you choose to position the style and genre, and in the midst of the early autumn action frenzy, Discounty may tremble a little in...
I wish I could recommend FBC: Firebreak more wholeheartedly to you, both because I love Remedy as a studio, but also because I like a good co-op shooter. This game isn't bad per se, and now that it's available on both Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, it's really worth giving...
Klara and I, my puzzle-partner-in-crime, made it, and it was satisfying, and I wouldn't spoil what's to come, but Blue Prince is easy to recommend if you've read the description of the premise and found the idea itself compelling. It's the idea that wins here, and maybe in the future...
I wish Wanderstop's actual gameplay elements had been given an extra coat of paint, a little more focus. It's not that I'm demanding that the game prioritise differently than it does, but even if you fall in love with the therapeutic, calm, and introspective atmosphere, you'll probably end up getting...
It's quite possible that Knights in Tight Spaces will be praised by the same kind of reviewers who gave Fights in Tight Spaces an 80 on OpenCritic, because developer Ground Shatter delivers more of a remix of the same elements here, rather than a reinterpretation of them. But for me,...
However, it's hard to say that the dream of a Breath of the Wild/Shadow of the Colossus crossover is a resounding success. It just isn't. It's entertaining in glimpses, no doubt about it, but from combat to meta upgrades, from static storytelling to a slightly half-baked daily gameplay loop, it's...
My main complaint is that the game doesn't quite recapture the magic that occurs in the first 10 hours in Vatican City. Among other things, you get to Egypt, which does offer the classic tombs and explorations of the remains and mysteries of a mildly rich civilisation, but the verticality...
Broadly speaking, Bioware is back, and while they're not reinventing the wheel here, they've made exactly the game we wanted them to make. An exclusively single-player RPG that is narratively anchored, far more linear, with all the content tailored and organised by skilled designers and without all the "bloat" that...
Starfield has received meaningful updates since launch last year, although the 60fps setting on Xbox Series X runs at that frame-rate about 25% of the time. And it's reassuring that Bethesda has big plans for the long-term support of the game. But this seems more like a footnote than a...
Again, it sounds like Caravan SandWitch fails in a number of key areas, but that's really the half-truth. This is a damn fine effort from a relatively untested studio, and while the studio chronically comes close to realising many of their ambitions here, it's easy to love, and also pretty...
Massive nails it here, but whether you're among those who can overlook simple structure and even simpler gameplay loops is hard for me to say. But maybe it's once again emphasising the fact that this is just my opinion of Outlaws, and I'm judging it based on the parameters by...
Arco
Make no mistake though; Arco is well worth your time, and along with Thank Goodness You're Here just a few weeks ago, it proves that publisher Panic really has an eye for unique indie experiences. Not only that, but this game is apparently developed by only a few individuals, proving...
