Every once in a while, a game comes along that seems ground-breaking without necessarily introducing anything new. Instead, the game takes elements from other similar titles and mixes them together with such skill that the genre as a whole takes a step forward. We know this from open world games...
Apart from minor annoyances, A Dream About Parking Lots is a nice little walking sim. In many ways, it's more of a therapeutic experience than a game, and considering what these kinds of games usually cost, the £3.39 you have to pay for it is nothing.
When I re-read this review, I sound very negative. But in fact, No Sleep For Kaname Date is still a good game. It just suffers from following two masterful games. Judged on its own merits, it's still a Japanese adventure with sky-high production values, a fascinating story, fun characters, and,...
Nevertheless, the game could have had a lifeline to cling to if, for example, it had included extra material in the form of sketches, behind-the-scenes videos, or similar from the game's tumultuous development. That would at least be something. But no, the game is just served up as it was...
While many narrative games have choices and branching paths, Expelled! is more like a dense thorn bush, not unlike the one that Louisa Hardcastle lands in. The narrative twists and turns in many directions, and while our unfortunate protagonist might experience some brushes along the way, it's hugely rewarding to...
Enchantment Under the Sea is like a well-oiled machine. It may have fewer cogs than the main game, but the connections across level design, weapons, abilities, and exploration are more robust than ever. The story could perhaps have been told in a more straightforward manner, and don't let the trailers...
With the fourth Ace Attorney collection in just over five years, it's debatable whether Capcom is satisfying the series' many fans or just teasing them in a very cruel way. It's been eight long years since we got the last game in the series, Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, and...
That being said, with such limited resources, some faults do creep in, though we are far from the modern AAA-titles that have more bugs than your average rainforest. One thing that I didn't enjoy was how the already small town is divided into separate areas that requires (an admittedly near...
Indika
As mentioned, Indika is a bit unpolished. Technically, the game lags, and on the PS5 the camera is often a bit heavy, and the game definitely wavers in faith when it comes to sticking to 60 fps. Yes, to cut to the chase, the technical performance is just not good...
In particular, the two 3DS games included in the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy deserved a bigger audience than they originally got when they were released in the West as digital-only downloads. The fact that they're now getting a second chance and that the entire series - except Professor Layton...
The model of annual updates for sports games has long been debated, but EA and other developers have often defended themselves by claiming that they were delivering a better product with more features. That's simply not the case this year. On the pitch, despite better animations and a few nice...
As it stands, Fort Solis is an atmospheric experience with impressive graphics and a slow, but interesting central narrative. But as a game it falls short on many parameters, with low interactivity, shoddy quick time events and exploration that rarely feels rewarding. I can only imagine that the actual game...
