If you’re still on the fence about this absolutely terrific game, let me add that at $19.99 USD on Steam, it’s more than a worthy bang for your buck. If you like to immerse yourself in tough but rewarding puzzles, pick up Nelly Cootalot. If you want to step into...
All in all, Moon Hunters is a short, engaging game, innovative in its approach to replay value, with each subsequent playthrough increasing in depth and pleasure. But is it worth your time? It really depends on what you are looking for; those craving the usual high-strung brawls and firefights will...
Even with my lack of BlazBlue knowledge I found BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend to be a complex fighting game with beautiful character and level design. And its multiple game modes do not struggle to keep me thoroughly engaged. Gamers who are not as familiar or as interested in BlazBlue’s backstory will...
Overall, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour certainly does have its good points. The tight mechanics and gameplay cannot be overlooked and EA certainly has made good on that ground. Is it as enjoyable as the previous titles? No. It lacks the depth which its predecessors possessed and as a result, you’re...
Mordheim: City of the Damned is a superbly well-crafted game that fully achieves what it sets out to do. The best, and most quotable, comparison I can make to sum it up would be XCOM by way of Dark Souls. It’s satisfying to play and it’ll give you wonderful stories with hours of gameplay....
Dropsy
Overall, Dropsy is funny and uplifting (for the most part) and it’s surprisingly challenging, while bringing an immersive experience and innovative gameplay. It does have some pitfalls like its hazy narrative and high frustration factor, but it’s great for those who enjoy an unorthodox adventure and for only £6.29 on Steam,...
Satellite Reign is a great game. It really is. I usually don’t buy into hype surrounding new games but this is really worth giving your attention to. If you are into strategy games or if you enjoy cyberpunk style environments, then this is the game for you. It may not...
Very unusual for a video game, Magnetic: Cage Closed lacks a music soundtrack. Surprisingly, it actually pulls the game together, leaving you to focus on the puzzle itself without distracting you from the task at hand. The sounds of the environment around you make the situation very immersive. The only...
Finally, the dialogue. I cannot describe how much I loved the dialogue in Shadowrun: Hong Kong. From Is0bel’s standoffish demeanour to Kindly Cheng’s evil but soothing tone, every conversation felt visceral, grounded in the world. The way the dialogue is presented paints a picture of every scene in the player’s head,...
In the end The Swindle is an ambitious game that unfortunately just falls in at average. If you’re a die-hard fan of rogue-likes or if the premise sounds very interesting to you, it may be worth a purchase, as long as your expectations aren’t too high, otherwise it’s regrettably a game...
Limbo
As to the downsides of Limbo? There aren’t that many. There isn’t much depth to the story and Playdead have clearly focused on the gameplay and creepy atmosphere of the game, so if you’re an RPG player that needs your fix for great storytelling, this game probably isn’t for you....
For those who enjoy a challenging puzzle game that requires a good amount of thinking, then 0rbitalis is worth checking out. However, for the more casual gamer, the lack of any real instruction or tutorial coupled with the heavy reliance of trial and error may quickly become irritating. That said, the...
