Checkpoint Gaming Latest Reviews
In a world of competitive indie gems, Gris is the most recent stunning game bridging the gaps between art and gaming. An emotional water-coloured journey, Gris is the work of creative director Conrad Roset (who had never before worked on a game), along with Adrián Cuevas and Roger Mendoza, two friends who together have spent years inside Ubisoft, going through the Montreal and Barcelona studios.
It’s that time of year where the seasonal sporting games start to roll around again like Brock Lesnar repeatedly suplexing John Cena, and amongst those is the WWE 2K franchise with their latest offering WWE 2K19.
Another year and another round of annual sports games is upon us. When its comes to the world of football (and I’m not talking Aussie Rules here folks) one big name springs to mind and that’s FIFA. There’s definitely no denying that EA are the kings of sports gaming and FIFA is the flagship that sailed them there. While EA may be leading the competition when its comes to digital sports, that doesn’t mean they haven’t had their occasional missed goal. So with the release of FIFA 19, ...
The Chefs are back in the kitchen again, slicing and dicing their way to success with Overcooked 2, the latest addition to your party game must-have list and the sequel to the extremely popular Overcooked. The original has been one of those co-ops that everyone must have on their console since 2016 and I’m here to tell you that Overcooked 2 is no different. If you’re stepping into Overcooked 2 looking for highly in-depth storyline then turn away now; this is not that kind of game… and h...
With the lacklustre Wii U release still fresh in our memories, Nintendo appears to have but one mission this time around when it comes to their latest console, the Nintendo Switch. That mission is to give all the brilliant and highly underrated Wii U games a new home and a second chance at life, and I for one won’t complain. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is the latest Wii U title to find its way onto the Nintendo Switch and it’s a fungitastic romp not to be missed.
If you’re a Nintendo Switch owner then you likely have very little to complain about in your first year of owning your new console. Since its release on the market a year ago the console has had a lot of incredibly noteworthy games; Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Pokkén Tournament, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms and now Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. And whilst it’s true some of these titles had already been released on the Wii U, it’s likely most people will st...
BOOM! On my command my first mate fires me from our port-side cannons towards Snake Island. Sailing gracefully through the air like an albatross on the currents of the wind I take stock of the situation ahead of me and my men. We would face an army of skeletons and a jungle of snakes. Taking the head of the skeleton captain for the Order of Souls wouldn’t be easy… As I continued my flight towards and soon over the island it soon became clear that my first mate’s aim had been far less ...
Attack on Titan 2 is a third-person action game with slight RPG elements by Koei Tecmo, the long awaited sequel to Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom and an extension to the amazing animated world that is Attack on Titan.
If like me you own a Nintendo Switch then you’ll likely agree that it’s been missing one thing since its launch last year, a ‘Smash’ genre type game. Well Brawlout by developer Angry Mob Games is here to fix all of our woes. After hitting PC back in April last year it is now making its way to consoles and what better console for a Smash Bros clone than the Nintendo Switch!
The highly criticised and much talked about Star Wars Battlefront II has finally released and it certainly wasn’t the smooth launch they were hoping for. Before we talk about the review there is no denying that Star Wars Battlefront II has been lord of the reddit forums and quite the hot topic of gamer discussion recently. From the moment it went into open beta the game was in trouble, plagued with loot box woes and character balance issues, the team at EA DICE were clearly going to be in ...
