I also have no problems with cinematic games; I found everything from Beyond: Two Souls to Life Is Strange to be remarkably cinematic. I’m also comfortable with the game’s length, which is extended enough to tell the story it wants to tell. What I have a problem with is inconsistent...
I’m not the world’s biggest fighting game fan. Those fighting games that I do enjoy (Blazblue, or Persona 4 Arena, for example) always offer something beyond the fighting mechanics to hook me in (narrative and characters, in those two examples). The fact that I’ve been playing Dead or Alive 5...
Harold is a fun game for fans of the continuous runner genre, and against all odds it actually manages to take such a simple genre and build on it in a genuine and unique manner. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but despite taking on the role of an...
Fans of the Saints Row series will enjoy the expanded scope of Gat Out Of Hell and the new world. Everyone else may want to instead stick with Saints Row IV, which has been re-released on current consoles, before venturing into the underworld with the expansion.
King Oddball should appeal to players who are looking for that next Angry Birds fix. The presentation and length are quite threadbare, but the physics engine and addictive qualities hold up well enough to make it worth a go.
Aside from the lack of co-op, I can’t really think of a more engaging action game than Apotheon. Equally, I can’t think of a game that fans of ancient Greek mythology will find more interesting than the story that this one weaves. Sorry, Kratos, but you’ve got nothing on Nikandreos.
You should be left feeling bubbly after playing Grow Home. It’s not perfect in execution, but given it was never meant to be a commercial product, it’s easy to see why Ubisoft couldn’t resist turning it into one – it’s a bright, charming and original little game that has an...
Overall I really enjoyed Citizens of Earth. I kept feeling a real desire to come back to play more and try to recruit everyone and finish all the secondary missions, all while trying to level up each citizen’s talent level to max. The story is light and humorous, meaning...
I hope WayForward gets around to making a Shantae title that’s designed with the big console experience in mind first and foremost. Three games in now and we’ve got a franchsie with real personality and a great character in Shantae – now it’s time to really let her, and the...
There was so much potential in Criminal Girls: Invite Only to be a transgressive, unique experience, but sadly, narrative missteps limit it from ever realising that potential. Instead what we have is a genuinely entertaining and original combat, and a minigame that, were Criminal Girls to be a higher profile...
I would have simply been content with Techland releasing another Dead Island game, as long as it came with some needed polish to help it realise its potential. Instead, we got Dying Light, a surprising mix of old and new, which has managed to once again rekindle my excitement for...
