Watch Dogs: Legion is Ubisoft Toronto’s attempt at bringing one of the publisher’s lesser appreciated series in-line with Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, attaching to it an eye-catching feature that allows players to “recruit and play as anyone” within the game’s world. But despite this sounding like an overly ambitious gimmick, Ubisoft pulls it...
FIFA 21 review for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X looming around the corner, EA has unsurprisingly opted to make FIFA 21 more of an incremental update rather than a fully-fledged overhaul of its annual series. As the final FIFA game to launch with a focus on PS4...
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 review for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Skating down the Warehouse’s first ramp, smashing through its glass doors, and then performing a picture-perfect Christ Air soundtracked by ‘Guerrilla Radio’ is a transportive experience. THPS 1+2 is a time capsule teleported in from the ’90s, taking me...
Tell Me Why review for PC and Xbox One. Dontnod Entertainment’s latest adventure Tell Me Why features two telepathic twins in its lead roles communicating via reading each other’s thoughts, yet this isn’t as unbelievable as the interactions between its characters. A small-town story about two siblings trying to learn the truth behind...
Flight Simulator 2020 is a daunting prospect for someone like me. I have such a lack of aviation knowledge that it’s almost impressive how little I know about planes. For all I know, aircraft are powered by magic. They are essentially giant baked bean tins with humans trapped inside, propelled through...
Fall Guys review for PS4 and PC. After endless waves of new battle royales, it turns out that all we wanted out of our last man standing multiplayer games was Takeshi’s Castle. Fall Guys is developer Mediatonic‘s “massively multiplayer party game,” pitting 60 players in a colorful game show where only one can...
Carrion review for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Carrion lets you control a vile, amorphous blob trapped in a secret underground government facility, as it casually murders everyone responsible for its captivity. You are the unfathomable, indescribable horror that would send the protagonist in a Lovecraft story mad, flinging yourself around...
“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?” Honestly, up until reviewing the unfortunately titled SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, I didn’t really know. Sure, I knew of the trouser-wearing sponge, but after never watching a full episode of the show, I didn’t know much about him. Thankfully, knowledge of SpongeBob,...
Maneater is a lot like Bambi. Both see the protagonist’s mother killed by a hunter. Both carry a message about how humans are carelessly destroying the environment. Both feature the child of the murdered matriarch going on a bloodthirsty rampage. Admittedly, it’s been a while since I last watched Bambi.
It is 6 AM on a Sunday morning. Despite being in self-isolation as a result of a global pandemic, I am awake. I have no real reason to be, as time now feels like an abstract concept, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons is waiting. I get up, I turn on my Switch,...
Dreams
Dreams made me sympathize with the plight of the game developer. Despite Media Molecule providing me with an exhaustive number of tutorials, each guiding me with baby steps through its incredible creation suite, I was still left desperately trying to get a ball to roll in the direction I wanted it...
It’s impossible to discuss The Outer Worlds without mentioning Fallout. It touches every cornerstone of a Fallout game, from the camera zooming in on an NPC’s face when you strike up a conversation with them, through to enemies crumpling up in an awkward pile of physics when you kill them with a critical shot. Developer...
