I was hardly the first to express my initial distaste at the thought of Rayman’s detestable detractors - the Rabbids - crossing into Mario’s universe and shooting people. Things didn’t get better as Rabbid Peach was shown in promotional art looking… somewhat unhinged, and plenty of doubt was cast on...
Honestly, at this point, I think you can be forgiven for forgetting that Sonic was once, actually, incredible. The Blue Blur has had such a bad streak for major releases that many are willing to write him off entirely - perhaps understandably so. But now is the time to let bygones...
Being a space marine is hard. It seems like you can’t get into that career path without having a guaranteed encounter with aliens or demons, or some kind of demon alien hybrid… Incidentally, that’s what you’ll be coming up against in Solstice Chronicles: MIA, a new PC twinstick shooter that’s...
Miitopia
Remember the Mii avatars? When the Wii first launched they were amazing, a miniature caricature of yourself that you could insert into a variety of games - it’s a brilliant concept, one which Nintendo are yet to abandon, even in the Switch, their next generation of Nintendo systems. But at...
Splatoon 2
It’s been two years since we first became squid kids – Splatoon launched on Wii U back in 2015 and, while it didn’t exactly set the world on fire, it was well received and fans felt inspired seeing Nintendo actually developing and continuing to support a multiplayer shooter. Fast forward...
It’s easy to feel underwhelmed by Final Fantasy lately. Final Fantasy XV wasn’t exactly everything fans had hoped, and the much-hyped Final Fantasy VII remake is nowhere to be seen – but luckily, Square Enix have been attentive with their older titles, if nothing else. We got Final Fantasy X...
Arms
A new fighting game being announced by Nintendo is a big deal. The company have played with many genres over the years, but aside from the convention-breaking Super Smash Bros., fighting games usually get the short end of the stick. That is, of course, until ARMS showed up on the...
In this fighting games renaissance, accessibility has been the important factor. Street Fighter V simplified a fair few of its more difficult combos, Injustice 2 makes it easy for beginners to pick up, play and start pulling off fancy moves, and even King of Fighters XIV added a single button...
Injustice 2
Heroes don’t kill. As a child, I never questioned that unwavering rule, and never came to the conclusion that things would be better off if Robin started cutting people’s throats open and letting them bleed out just to prove a point to his dad. And yet, there was something I...
When Dragon Quest Heroes launched it was a fresh take on the Musou/Warriors formula, but ultimately we felt a bit underwhelmed. The Musou gameplay can be loads of fun, but when shoehorned into an RPG format felt tired and boring, not as strategic as an actual RPG, not as much...
It’s not unusual to get a sense of familiarity when playing a Nintendo game. Mario’s mug and music are well known, and you’d be hard-pressed to find many people – gamer or no – that don’t recognize his melodies. But this might be the first time I’ve entered into a...
I like smart level design. For all of the hype open world games have had over the last few years, they still fail to compare to a sharp, concise and succinct world to play in. The Sexy Brutale understands this, and so everything you interact with in the titular mansion...
