“Incredibly successful” is actually a wonderful phrase to go out on. I struggle to find an aspect of This Is The Police that I didn’t find enjoyable and appropriate for the style of game as well as what was promised in trailers prior to the game’s release. Taking over the...
A rose is perhaps the ultimate symbol of the link between pain and romance. It’s the flower that is considered the most romantic or beautiful by many, if not most, but it also has sharp thorns; thorns that will prick you badly and make you bleed if you’re not careful...
Yooka-Laylee doesn’t do anything to try and modernise an old-school classic. That’s completely fine in my books, I don’t need maps, checkpoints or level markers in my 3D platformers. I loved what was on offer back on the Nintendo 64, and I’m prepared to love it all over again. It’s...
Fans of survival horror should give this title a go, and this is especially true if you have the opportunity to experience it in virtual reality. It may not have ghosts and goblins, but Narcosis still provides a suitably haunting experience worth undertaking.
Ultimately, this is a game anyone that loved adventure games will enjoy, and find entertainment in. There are quite a few nods to the Lucasarts/Lucasfilm stable, cameos and a continuation of jokes that have been there since the first Edison encounter. In terms of where it would sit alongside the...
Aside from a few annoyances and occasionally unfair difficulty, I found myself always coming back for more with FlatOut 4, and one hour would often turn into three-hour play sessions. It was just plain fun to play, and sometimes a game doesn’t need to be more than that.
Really, the best way to describe Everything is that it’s a game that lets you play as everything. I don’t mean that in the sense that you can play as anything, though you can do that (at least, any of roughly 1000 different things coded into the game). Rather, I...
On the balance of things, The Crow’s Eye borrows heavily from other existing titles in terms of mechanical inspiration. That’s not to say that it doesn’t have original concepts, or that it’s incapable of convincing narrative twists. The problem with the game lies in the fact that as a hodgepodge...
I must admit that, despite being a big fan of the original Toukiden, I wasn’t expecting as much as what I got from the sequel. The developers at Koei Tecmo could have easily just recreated the previous game with some additional monsters and settings, and it still would have been...
And that really sums up Shadows of Adam for me: it does a lot right, but it does not break the classic mould enough to make it feel like a true new classic in its own right.
