The Long Journey Home had so much promise but Daedalic forgot to make it playable. They focused on the big picture, on the huge epic universe, without realizing that it’s the small stuff that’s important. We like the look, the ideas, just not the implementation of any of it. Movement...
After the slight disappointment of Broken Age I’m happy to say that LucasArts veterans doing Kickstarters can still result in a great adventure game. Thimbleweed Park has a few small flaws but nothing that stopped me immensely enjoying myself. This is very much a classic comedy adventure in the LucasArts...
2Dark
I was wary of 2Dark the moment I was told that saving the game could kill me. I would like to thank Gloomy Wood for making this critic’s life easy by putting one of the main problems with the game right there in the title. It’s too dark. It’s too...
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a weird little oddity in RPGs, and we think InXile totally meant it to be. It may share an engine with Pillars of Eternity but it couldn’t be more different. Every line is incredibly well written, every NPC feels like a real person, the locations...
We were looking forward to The Little Acre as soon as we saw the lovely art and Charles Cecil’s involvement, but sadly it’s pretty bad. I don’t mind short games but at two hours (including puzzle solving) the game doesn’t leave much room for storytelling, character and world building, compelling...
Watch Dogs 2
Watch_Dogs 2 is definitely a good game, especially compared to the first one which was a dull game. It’s got a lot of personality, especially in terms of the cast of characters, and humour is always welcome in open world titles. The missions may generally boil down to “go somewhere,...
Dishonored 2
For a while I was trying to work out whether Dishonored 2 was a great game because it’s just more Dishonored, or is it actually better on its own terms? A large portion of what makes Dishonored 2 such a compelling game is indeed down to the foundation, but overall...
It says a lot when Shadow Warrior 2 is only the second best 3D Realms game out this week, and the other is yet another remaster of Duke Nukem 3D. Despite loving the first game I could not get along with this sequel, with both single-player and co-op feeling lacking...
Here’s a novelty: taking everything into account, Batman – The Telltale Series Episode 2: Children of Arkham is exactly as good as Episode 2. In several areas it’s slightly better, and one of the chief complaints other reviewers (not us) had about it, namely the predictable storyline, has already been...
Dungeon Rushers may evoke fond memories of the Hero Quest board game but it doesn’t manage to be anywhere near as involving. Still when things are going right it’s a hugely addictive game, with simple gameplay based around risk and reward and some tremendously entertaining dialogue. Nevertheless the story is...
Champions of Anteria has some undeniably neat ideas, and I’ll always be more accepting of a game that fails trying something new. The combination of Action RPG and Village Building works well, and the Elements system may be pinched from Divinity: Original Sin but adds a deep strategic slant to...
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an amazing game and a worthy fourth entry in arguably the best videogame series of all time. It took me 30 hours to finish it and I loved all of it. While Deus Ex fans might be a little disappointed that there’s only one city...
