Cities: Skylines was an excellent city-builder, released to great fanfare and one that took more than a few jabs at the undeniable failure of SimCity. Released in 2015, the original has been padded to the seams with DLC; the only one we reviewed was the Natural Disasters DLC, but this...
Fort Solis
Sometimes, I've played a few games and thought, "This would make a good film". Other times, I've been watching a film and thought, "I want to play a game based on this now". Fort Solis is something new that sits somewhere in the thought pattern of "why isn't this a...
I've always enjoyed the Jagged Alliance games, even the poorly received ones. Part of it with the later entries is that I was genuinely trying to find the best in them, if only because I liked the first two and because I'm such a lovely person, or it could be...
It feels like an absolute age since I first saw Aliens: Dark Descent at Gamescom last year. It's been ten months, and while I admit the game completely fell off my radar (my initial impressions were mixed-at-best), it's back on it now and with good reason. As I've said before,...
It's been a while since I last played anything to do with Riot Games' mammoth MOBA, League of Legends. The last I remember, League of Legends didn't have anything remotely like lore, which highlights how long it's been since I last played it (September 2014 is when they added a...
It's safe to say that Star Trek has fallen out of favour when it comes to video games, with only a select handful standing out over recent years, Star Trek Online being the most obvious example. On the other hand, 2013's Star Trek also stood out for all the wrong...
Blue Byte is a developer with a track history of making successful titles, with a few franchises and very successful recent releases. This was the case from their first significant franchise, Battle Isle, to the later creation of The Settlers. Since its acquisition by Ubisoft in 2001, Ubisoft Düsseldorf has...
Company of Heroes is an undeniable tower of the strategy genre despite only having two mainline entries. The first, released seventeen years ago (I'm starting to feel old), revolutionised real-time strategy and captured elements of World War 2 in a way that very few games had ever managed. This includes...
Grounded
It was around two years ago when I first played Grounded. By then, I was already tired of survival games, waking up to a new world, smashing trees and rocks, and then rubbing them together to create an axe. The axe then being used to break even more giant stones,...
I've started writing this review several times now. The first time, it was just some rambling about how Square Enix has turned into something like early-days Ubisoft, co-developing or publishing everything they can get their hands on. However, Square Enix mostly sticks to JRPG-ish things, which I certainly approve of....
Two Point Studios is an interesting studio; you can't fault it for knowing what it wants to do. With Bullfrog and Lionhead Studios alums, and the first title being Two Point Hospital - the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital - it was clear that this is a studio that is...
Starship Troopers is, and likely always will be, a film I love. There's no doubt that it has more than a few things you can criticise it over, but it's a very entertaining film with a lot to say about humanity. Very little of what it has to say is...
