RiME
These issues were easily overlooked though, as the full experience of RiME is far grander than the sum of its parts. Hopefully the framerate issues will be ironed out in a patch soon, but you shouldn’t let that put you off experiencing what this game has to offer. I feel...
What Remains of Edith Finch is, quite simply, a stunning experience. It takes Gone Home and turns it up to eleven. While it’ll undoubtedly end up being labelled as a ‘walking simulator’, it takes that genre and throws it on its head, giving us an experience so rich, so deep with emotion and...
If you’re looking for an unconventional but beautifully-told story, then Blackwood Crossing deserves to be on your radar. It’s not perfect, but the amount of love that pours out of the game – both in terms of the visual and technical quality from the team of developers and in the palpable relationship between the...
I feel like Traveller’s Tales is going to be hard-pushed to outdo themselves on another LEGO game that feels as enjoyable to play as LEGO City Undercover. It’s a brilliant addition to the franchise, and I’m so glad that other console owners finally get to enjoy it outside of the 2013...
The joy of the game, then, comes from Kitty Powers herself. Her hilarious and sparkling personality is enough to keep you engaged at least for a few hours, and even though her double entendres do soon begin to repeat themselves, I still found myself chuckling after the third or fourth time I heard...
Every moment spent with Breath of the Wild is pure joy. It’s the sheer delight of discovering something new: the first time you accidentally hit a cuccoo, or the first time you throw some ingredients into a cooking pot. It’s the incredible reward of reaching the top of that tower and seeing...
Despite its childlike exterior, Ittle Dew 2 certainly isn’t childsplay; this is a serious adventure wrapped up in a colourful and simple disguise. Be prepared to need a lot of patience to battle some of the later bosses, but if you can get past them, the charm of the game and the...
If you’re a music lover, adding Harmonix Music VR to your VR catalogue is a no brainer. Any session with your favourite album is instantly more enjoyable, whether you want to completely switch off to some relaxing visuals or if you want to unwind by having a bit of fun. If...
All in all, Mantis Burn Racing is a title you can’t go far wrong with if you enjoy a bit of casual racing. The presentation is spot-on, and the game is effortlessly fun to play with its responsive controls and thoroughly enjoyable handling. Hopefully the loading times are addressed in a patch...
If, however, you’ve got the patience to click through lengthy conversations between cringeworthy characters, the heart of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice almost makes up for it. For any fan of the typical point-and-click adventure, the evidence-hunting sections will satiate a need that very few games meet in this...
With its brilliant graphics and mightily impressive physics, had Three Fields concentrated a little more on the zany and fun side of Dangerous Golf and toned down the often ridiculously over-demanding challenges of the later levels, recommending this game would be a no-brainer. As it stands however, there’s still a genuinely high...
In the end, unless you’re a diehard fan of the genre and desperately need a new title to get stuck into, it’s hard to recommend The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II. With a smattering of graphical issues and frequent framerate slowdown to add to the already brimming roster of disappointment,...
