OlliOlli
OlliOlli is the very definition of a love it or hate it game, and I apparently came down on the wrong side of that equation. I fully acknowledge that OlliOlli is not my kind of game and there are plenty of gamers and reviewers who already love it, but unfortunately...
Divinity: Original Sin
While in my opinion it has a few flaws that hold it back from true all-time-classic status Divinity: Original Sin is an excellent, beautifully designed and engaging RPG that absolutely never gets boring. The main story could be better told, companions could be more interesting (and just more), and while...
Enemy Front
I wanted to like Enemy Front since despite my crack about Wolfenstein: The New Order at the beginning there is a gap in the market for a proper serious World War Two FPS that isn’t predominantly about sniping (Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 3 is out soon too). Unfortunately Enemy Front isn’t...
Among the Sleep
Krillbite get a lot of things right in Among The Sleep. Their use of graphics, sound and level design to build tension and create a creepy atmosphere is second to none, and I was genuinely on the edge of my seat for almost all the time I spent playing. Unfortunately...
Small nitpicks aside, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fantastic game. It’s exactly the kind of FPS I want to play and are far too rare these last few dark years: a single-player-orientated shooter packed with fun battles and imaginative level design that is worth exploring in. To top it...
Bound By Flame
Spiders wanted Bound By Flame to be their big breakout hit but penny-pinching on theirs or their publisher’s side will hold them back. The combat system works pretty well once you get over the lack of a roll button and it actually gets very satisfying as soon as you get...
The review’s already gigantic and there’s no way I’ll mention everything I want to, so I’ll keep things brief in the summary. If you’re after a more single-player-quest-focused MMO with an Elder Scrolls feel, with a helpful community that will rush to aid you at every problem, and don’t mind...
Betrayer
Betrayer is a hugely atmospheric and unique game, with a cool exploration/survival thrust that never gets frustrating thanks to some excellent sound and visual design, but it’s really let down by these two major flaws. It desperately wants to be scary but never manages it, but most importantly it gets...
Burial At Sea: Episode 2 combines a cool fan-pleasing story, enjoyable new gameplay (that you’ll wish Bioshock had attempted more), wonderful level design, a satisfying conclusion to the series, and I haven’t even mentioned how great Rapture looks and sounds. Irrational Games as a developer may have become unwieldy, but...
Deus Ex: The Fall
Once you get through a lot of the shock that comes with The Fall being a tablet conversion and all the little problems it has, fortunately you’ll find that it’s still a fun new slice of Human Revolution. Get used to the slightly odd un-redefinable controls, the cramped level design,...
Cards on the table time: not since Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham games has a developer so successfully made such an amazing title out of a licensed property, one that not only is a perfect South Park game but an incredible RPG as well. It may not offer you tons of choices...
Thief
Thief does many things right. The gameplay is great for the most part, Garrett is his same wonderful self, it looks wonderful, the AI often works well, and the range of customization options is amazing. Missions are enjoyable with a couple of real stand-out superb ones, the six proper side-missions...
