Sorcerer King
This 4X turn-based strategy game from Stardock is a creatively unique newcomer to the genre. Sorcerer King has all of the bells and whistles you would expect from a good TBS, but it also plays like an RPG. Much like in many others in the genre, you are tasked with...
Rare Replay
Celebration is part of why Rare Replay exists. Even before the gaming industry became a multimillion-dollar battleground where five million copies sold can be considered a “failure”, many studios were periodically kicked to the curb. From 38 Studios to Zipper Interactive, Bullfrog to Eurocom, the fact that Rare has managed...
While the story and premise might seem simple, it’s the way in which the premise is explored and displayed that truly matters. On her journey, Divine is able to interact with other characters and find various upgrades that will shed more light onto her story. She is also able to...
Since Deception IV: Nightmare Princess is just Deception IV: Blood Ties with additional content, the core features and mechanics of the game remain largely unchanged. With that said, please refer to our review of Deception IV: Blood Ties HERE for a more in depth breakdown of what the base game and,...
It came after a slightly lengthy delay, a lot of speculation and much anticipation. Now, you can ‘Be the Bat’, as the ad campaign promised, and assume the mantle of The Dark Knight in a last ditch effort to save Gotham. This time, it’s not from the recently deceased Joker,...
Ronin
This Devolver Digital 2D platformer has a lot of chops! Developer Tomasz Waclawek has created a magnetic tribute to those old thinker arcade stand-ups. Sure, it has some similarities to other newer indie games, but the concept, design and gameplay are pretty unique. You might find yourself slinking through the...
When you awoke this morning, did you find yourself craving the adrenaline rush of first person combat, the thrill of planning and executing a masterpiece heist, or the morally questionable satisfaction of gunning down wave after wave of law enforcement? No? Well most people don’t. However, if the answer was...
The last couple of days have once again shown us just why Bethesda is one of the most respected game developers in the world. They respect their fans and they genuinely love what they do. One example of this is the way they don’t just deliver on expectations, they shatter...
In Massive Chalice your goal is simple: defend your kingdom for 300 years. Accomplishing this — by building castles, arranging marriages between royal families, and fighting the mysterious “Cadence” in turn-based combat — can be fairly complicated. Massive Chalice builds on the genre recently re-popularized with games like XCOM by...
I’ve always been a big fan of the strategy genre and have always loved throwing my life away on a good 4X game. But in the past little while, I found it harder to find a truly great one. I could play to my heart’s content on other 4X-ers I’ve...
There is something to be said about taking a no nonsense approach with a game’s DLC plans. When so many shooters pepper you with season pass offers, map packs and other downloadable add-ons all for a hefty charge, Machine Games and Bethesda have decided to take a more simplistic approach...
Project CARS
Doing a proper and exhaustive review of a game that simulates a real world activity that involves a fair bit of complexity in a short window of time is always a daunting task. Things that appear OK at the outset may turn out to be deal breakers later on. Or,...
