As applies to any game that really tries to innovate within a genre, Ray Gigant will be divisive, and it doesn’t do itself any favours through its sometimes-patchy localisation. Equally, as applies to any game that tries to be genuinely innovative, not everything about Ray Gigant is as refined as...
For someone that wishes to learn about the 1979 Revolution, or Iran in general, this game will provide a cursory understanding that could supplement further reading. Taken on its own, this may be one of the most important games created in terms of historical significance, and in blending life events,...
By all means, play co-op (offline, if you can – I had a lot of lag issues online). It’s a clever, expertly-designed game that works just as well with buddies as it does alone. But if you want to experience the full richness of the story that’s tucked away, play...
I love when developers take risks, that’s when we get some incredible games. By itself, Quantum Break wouldn’t have been as successful as it is. The gameplay is not strong enough to stand alone. But in collaboration with the TV series, the stunning cast, the script, the set and character...
Loud on Planet X is perhaps the video game version of a music festival. It takes big name acts and up and coming talents and puts them on stage, accompanying their music with a solid rhythm game which doesn’t distract from the listening experience. A lack of complexity holds back...
Republique is also utterly beautiful, and coming to the PlayStation 4 as a complete package, rather than the chapter structure it adopted for the iPad release, is greatly welcome. This way, it is a complete package, this game is a chunky, lengthy experience that will last you for quite some...

But most people who will be playing Dark Souls III have played Dark Souls I, so that’s a not so much a complaint, and more observation. What I will say is that Dark Souls III has to be the end of the Souls series. This franchise sits so very close...
The lack of overall options and content creates a shallow feeling that EA Sports UFC 2 can never quite shake. It is more pronounced in the career mode, where there was perhaps the greatest opportunity to do something interesting with the source material, but outside of the original tournament the...
Aside from the multitude of tracks the game offers, paint jobs, decals and songs require gold standard driving to be unlocked. There is a tonne there that needs to be unlocked and it’s a shame that only the one paint job and decal is available from the start, considering the...
Unsurprisingly, the reviews for this game are polarising. There are those that enjoy it for its quirkiness and originality, and then there are those that simply find it too different to really resonate. For my part I really appreciate what Idea Factory has achieved with this game, and, while the...
