Jumping into the cockpit of my TIE Interceptor, I felt transported back to my childhood. One of the games I would love to play as a kid was X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. It was a game my dad and I would play together for hours, taking turn as a pilot in...
A Total War Saga: Troy is the latest entry in the Total War franchise. How does the Trojan War and Bronze Age Aegean stack up in this latest release? Here's our review.
Ghost of Tsushima is the latest exclusive for the PlayStation 4. Heavily inspired by samurai epics such as those from Akira Kurosawa, how does the latest game from Sucker Punch stack up?
Heading down a Dwemer lift into Blackreach for the first time was a sight to behold. The grey, stormy sky of Skyrim gave way to the dimly-lit black of Blackreach, mushrooms and flora glowing to give the region an ethereal light. I was met with an overlook on Castle Greymoor...
To say Final Fantasy VII REMAKE has been hotly anticipated is putting it mildly. Check out our review of the long-awaited remake of one of Square Enix's most beloved JRPGs of all time.
Elsweyr is a worthy successor to last year’s Summerset chapter, even though the main quests don’t live up to the hype. It’s actually the excellent storytelling and exploration in the side quests that outshines the underwhelming dragons with heartfelt drama and comedy. Meanwhile, the new Necromancer class is by far...
Battle for Azeroth has a lot to live up to thanks to its stellar predecessor in Legion, and for the most part it delivers. The storylines feel more intimate than Legion, and while the spectre of Azeroth itself dying is still looming overhead, on the whole it was nice to...
The generically beautiful Summerset is on the smaller side in terms of overall new additions to The Elder Scrolls Online, but even after completing the majority of the side quests and all of the main storyline I feel compelled to go back. The storytelling continues to improve on last year’s...
Conan Exiles
Conan Exiles is often slow and arduous, but even after 70 hours – 40 since launch – the idea of returning to the Exiled Lands still holds some allure. Crafting is largely a tedious grind, especially the higher up you get in the crafting tiers, and it’s surprising that in...
Sea of Thieves was meant to be a return to form for Rare, a game studio with a loved history that had been relegated to Kinect-hell for years. How does it fare in the end? Kinect-hell might not have been so bad after all.
Madden NFL 18
Madden NFL 18 isn’t the giant leap of the series, but I’m not entirely sure anyone really expects it to be. It is noticeably different than its predecessor, namely because of the Longshot mode. And while I didn’t walk away from the Longshot story a huge fan – it’s definitely...
All in all, The Long Journey Home is an incredibly complex game. It’s controls take the patience of a saint in order to get used to. Its core, intriguing elements are weighed down by the repetitive and frustrating mini-games you are forced to slog through. The Long Journey Home isn’t...
