There are very few games that manage to haunt and pervade my thoughts as much as Fez did, and while there were many occasions where I was nearly ready to throw in the towel, the decision to take a step back and refocus my thoughts proved beneficial. There’s a good...
TowerFall harkens back to the day when you could play a game like GoldenEye 007, when the person next to you got punched in the shoulder for besting you. This is a game with plenty of laughing and pointing at the screen. TowerFall is not deep in options or features,...
Ground Zeroes is an interesting game to score. The way that it has been presented is to show off the features of the FOX Engine, and each mission is clearly designed to showcase some new gimmick or other. And yet, it doesn’t feel like a demo. Although I do feel...
That gameplay, complimented with the excellent visual style and the charming music itself, makes for a heck of a compelling little game, that offers a load of content to boot. Portable games just don’t get better than this.
I can’t get enough of Dynasty Warriors games, and Xtreme Legends is immediately my favourite PlayStation 4 game. The sheer weight of content that is packed into the game can’t be overstated; this is a big, chunky game that demands a lot of time to work all the way through...
It’s always difficult to rate niche games like The Witch and the Hundred Knight, and this one moreso because it takes a certain degree of patience to mentally work into the game before it becomes enjoyable as a twist on a dark fairy tale. But I enjoyed myself and found...
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is probably not going to appeal to everyone. The humour is often crass, the main character is one that a lot of people will struggle to get behind and the style has a more button mashing feel to it than fans of the series are used...
I think that is perhaps the testament to what Telltale Games does best with its stories – when the team can put an emotional punch in there that simply resonates for hours or even days at a time. This was an excellent episode that did precisely that for me.
I guess the great question here is “if this was a premium game without microtransactions, would I spend $100 Australian or whatever for it?” I’d say no. This isn’t my kind of genre at the best of times, and I don’t think it’s the finest example of the genre, not...
As a complete high-definition package, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles doesn’t make a great deal of strides. Its lack (or at least toning down) of the original’s trademark cell-shading will rub many aficionados the wrong way. Features like the addition of a Japanese voice track (and, by extension, audio for the...
Maybe this just says more about me and my sense of humour, but I had a fantastic time with the game. Being “the new kid” and trying to fit in is also a theme a lot of people can relate to, and finding humour in it is probably the best...
So I simply don’t see where this game’s appeal lies. Even once the technical flaws are repaired, and even after I have a better understanding on how to play following the implementation of a tutorial, I still can’t see myself having more fun with this game than I would playing...
