We're not going to mark Lust for Darkness down because of the graphic content, because there are going to be people out there who love this sort of thing and, at the end of the day, who are we to judge. We are, however, going to complain about the lack...
Overall we enjoyed several quality evenings playing through Detroit: Become Human, and a couple more exploring what could have been if we'd played things differently. It doesn't offer a perfect user experience and once again Quantic Dream hasn't quite nailed the camera angles which leads to some frustrating moments here...
The more detailed focus of this new Saga spinoff series works very well, and the greater emphasis on character progression breathes new life into the strategy half of the campaign. CA has done a great job adding more personality to the turn-based portion of the game, and the more detailed...
H1Z1
H1Z1 ticks all the right boxes, but it never really grabbed us in the same way as PUBG and Fortnite did. It doesn't look as good as the competition and it's not as interesting nor as varied as the games it's going up against. It's free-to-play which certainly helps, but...
We're delighted that Fares and his team at Hazelight made this game, and we want to see more from the studio in the future because while this debut title may be flawed, it's equal parts fascinating. We might not be at all inclined to pick up the controller and go...
However, when it comes to complaints, that's really all we've got. We wanted more, and we wanted to see the idea used in more ways, because the near-thirty levels we played through were great fun, whether we were flinging sumo wrestlers around, stacking turnips, or catching fish. Part Time UFO...
Fear Effect Sedna is largely relying on nostalgia to sell itself, and for someone who has no interest in the series, there is little reason to get involved now. Even fans are going to have to slog through it to some extent, and the game's frustrating and generally clunky execution...
As you might have noticed by now, we were captivated by Florence and the experience it gave us. In nearly all respects it has been perfectly put together, creating a rich and rewarding narrative experience that effortlessly engages the player throughout. Our main issue, and the reason we've not scored...
When faced with the prospect of reverse Xcom, with aliens eating annoying middle managers, we were very intrigued. Lightweight strategy elements and a stronger emphasis on linear storytelling made for a very different experience to the one we were expecting, and while a touch more strategic depth wouldn't have gone...
It's just a shame then that while Warhorse has clearly poured a lot of love into Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it fails to hit the mark in a number of areas. It's a hugely ambitious game, but perhaps it's that level of ambition that has ended up being its downfall, with...
If Shadow of the Colossus is an all-time favourite of yours, then you'll be pleased to hear that this rebuild restores the game to a very high standard. It's a beautiful yet sparse world, and the creatures that live there are truly magnificent in terms of their size and construction...
You can venture online if you so wish, but really the charm of Gang Beasts comes from seeing the anger/despair/humiliation of your opponents in real-time. As a party game, it's a great option if you've got a house full and you're looking for something to play that's both accessible and...
