Just Cause 4
This review left us conflicted. On one side, we can’t deny we had a lot of fun dipping in and out of Just Cause 4. It’s an exciting, crazy sandbox with some wonderful tools and pretty non-stop action. The downside is - Just Cause 3 did most of this stuff...
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry is actually a game you might possibly want to play maybe. In fact, it’s not a bad adventure game at all - with quite fun puzzles, nice cartoony artwork, a decent length (not that that’s important,...
Call of Cthulhu is an undeniably fun adventure game with some great ideas, cool stealth moments, and it never devolves into a shooter like Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth did. However, it also wastes its sanity mechanic, and the second half of the game consists of smaller...
There are some flaws, but Shadow of the Tomb Raider is never less than a thrilling adventure, which is exactly what it needs to be. Yes the storyline never makes sense and the big world-ending threat never feels truly threatening, but at least Lara’s character gets examined, and the game’s...
Strange Brigade is tip-top fun with lots of bang for your buck, to use a dirty Americanism. A single offline campaign playthrough with a decent amount of exploration can run around 11 hours, and that’s before you bring in the Co-op, Horde Mode, Score Attack, and secret hunting. Crucially, it’s...
We honestly feel patches are going to make Phantom Doctrine a lot more playable, but as it stands right now the combat is downright broken. Whereas XCOM’s combat could be frustrating but was generally entertaining, Phantom Doctrine is always frustrating and never fun, and it quickly sucked any love we...
If The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit cost a bit of money, we’d still highly recommend it. The fact that it’s totally free means it’s elevated to a must-play, even if you have no plans on playing Life Is Strange 2 - and if you’re considering it, play this now....
There are a lot of people who will get a kick out of Prey: Mooncrash, and we respect this - and we realise and like that it’s a different type of challenge to the main game. However, we loved Prey and Mooncrash just left us cold.
Jurassic World: Evolution may not have all the options most management gamers would expect, but it makes up for it with the best dinosaurs of any game. It’s missing quite a lot of features that have been standard in sim games since Theme Park, such as staff and guest interaction...
Vampyr
Vampyr is an action RPG which probably would’ve done better if the ‘action’ part was left out. The story is fun, the characters all feel like real people, and the decisions on which innocent to devour are perfectly weighty. Unfortunately the player doesn’t have enough say in where that story...
Battletech is an addictive strategy game that smushes everything we love into one game, and dares us not to love it. It combines Firefly, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, XCOM, and giant Mechs punching each other and shooting laser beams. It’s an occasionally tough game, with the AI being almost...
Far Cry 5 is lots of good fun that’ll have you entertained for a long time - and in that it lives up the series. The shooting never stops being entertaining and there’s a lot of game here, with many options on how to do things, and it at least...
