If you saw the heading to this review and thought “Really? More new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla content?” I honestly don’t blame you. Ubisoft has given Valhalla players a hell of a lot to sink their teeth into since its release in 2020. I mean, we’ve already had two DLC packs...
Sifu
There has been a lot of hype around Sifu and for good reason. The unique gameplay mechanic of aging every time that you die, gorgeous art style, and slick kung fu moves made it look like an impressive start to 2022. When I was given the opportunity to preview the...
Jimmy Hawkins, the protagonist of hack n’ slash sci-fi platformer Blackwind just can’t catch a break. The teen is just cruising around on a spaceship with his Dad and WHAMMY – they are attacked, and the ship goes down. Luckily for him, Hawkins’ was inside his father’s newest prototype armour,...
Crysis Remastered Trilogy is one hell of a jam-packed experience. It contains all three of the legendary first-person shooters with the original being ground-breaking in its ultra-realistic graphics. Crysis was such a benchmark for graphics that when Crysis Remastered came out last year, the devs dubbed its highest graphic mode...
🎵 A Juggler’s Tale I must say deals, 🎵 🎵 An emotional bullet hitting the feels… 🎵
I’ve been waiting for the release of Gamedec, the top-down narrative Cyberpunk RPG since I played the demo at PAX Australia’s online event last year. I remember being intrigued by the games premise, its artistic graphics and its focus on the player making their own choices that actually matter throughout...
Hoa
Let’s be honest – the world is a bit of a mess at the moment. Gaming for a lot of us is our refuge, our safe place, our haven away from the realness of this world that feels like we’ve woken up in a parallel universe ala’ Marty McFly in...
London definitely has a distinct vibe; a pub on every corner, black cabs, the tube. There’s also a sense of familiarity for us Aussies as English culture is so entrenched in our own. Last Stop does an amazing job of bringing that feeling of a vibrant, historical city like London...
The world is black and full of cascading raindrops that fall fatly into translucent pools around you. You awaken as Lily, the protagonist of ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, in a deserted church on a funeral pyre. As you rise you won’t be able to make Lily awaken very...
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is a classic turn-based JRPG that came out 18 years ago in 2003. It paved the way for other games in the genre and, until now, was released only on PS2 and PS3. This classic has now been remastered, available on PS4 and for the...
Maquette may not have been the best choice for me to review. I mean, you wouldn’t expect a person whose dog just ran away to review a dog walking simulator, would you? So really, this gal who’s suffering a recent broken heart probably shouldn’t be playing a romantic narrative puzzle...
Watch Dogs: Legion has been on my “can’t-wait-for-this-to-come-out” list since it was announced at E3 back in 2019. The concept of recruiting every single person in the game – pretty much making NPCs obsolete within its world – blew my little mind. Talk about ambitious! Ubisoft was going to flip...
