Now there’s a lot to like about Dying Light: The Following. The gameplay’s very different from the main game, there’s loads of varied and imaginative missions, it’s an excellent challenge for anyone finished with the central campaign, and the map will take anyone hours to traverse let alone properly explore....
XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is everything a sequel should be, keeping the things that everyone loved about the first game while changing things up as much as possible. Turning XCOM into a scrappy resistance force alters the sequel considerably, not necessarily for the better but certainly for an equally interesting and different...
While Star Wars Battlefront is by no means a triumph, it’s not a disaster either. It nails the Star Wars atmosphere perfectly, with an incredible sense of spectacle and some of the most awe-inspiring moments in multiplayer gaming. That said it’s all pretty skin deep, with none of the depth...
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone may skirt the line between DLC and Expansion Pack by merely adding more of what was already in Wild Hunt, but gets away with it by being sizeable and awesome. The story, quests, characters, choices, twists, gameplay and wild adventures on offer are well...
Let’s cut to the chase: Batman: Arkham Knight is a great game, but it’s not as good as Rocksteady’s previous two titles. The story attempts interesting things but falls flat, particularly anything to do with the titular Arkham Knight. The gameplay is mostly utterly awesome in combat, stealth, and exploration,...
Overall Transformers Devastation is surprisingly good. If you’re a Gen 1 Transformers fan and you’re feeling nostalgic you’ll have an absolute blast. The melee combat is excellent (although if you don’t experiment with different attacks you might have less fun), the five different Autobot characters are all unique, and it’s...
Armikrog
Speaking non-critically about Armikrog I did get enjoyment exploring its walls, but by the end I said “is that it?” rather than “that was a great game and it satisfied me”. As a lovely and crazy world to explore with a charming art style and catchy music it’s just fine,...
The Swindle is a highly addictive and fun randomly-generated steampunk thievery simulator. It can be hugely frustrating and the controls aren’t as precise as they need to be, but after an hour of calming down following the loss of my £10,000 haul I was right back in for more punishment....
Massive Chalice is lots of fun and highly addictive. Yes a lot of the best things about it come from it being highly influenced by XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but it not only captures a lot of the spirit of our Game of the Year 2012 but Double Fine also manages...
Technobabylon
Technobabylon is one of the best adventures WadjetEye have ever published, and that’s saying something. While the last two Blackwell games beat it by having slightly smarter and more realistic puzzles, Technobabylon still does them well and almost edges ahead by occasionally having multiple solutions. The story is smart, funny...
