Vampyr
That's not to say that we totally dislike Vampyr. We admire the attempt at blending conflicting narrative and gameplay styles, we also had fun with the combat and deciding who and how many NPCs to feed on. However, as Vampyr's story reached its conclusion the intriguing mechanics fell apart. We...
What faults we found in Yoku's Island Express are not nearly enough to stop us recommending it. Villa Gorilla's game is likely to prove fun for anyone who plays it, relaxing and enjoyable for the most part while also testing player skill just enough to keep things interesting. It might...

Every attempt to conquer the campaign is hugely enjoyable, even if the story doesn't stay...
