Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut is a great game. It has some flaws, but from start to finish you’re pulled into this dystopian experience that makes you want to get to the end to find all the answers. It has multiple endings, which are influenced by your actions throughout the...
The tutorial does a good job of walking you through the basics, all while retaining that group of buddies around the tabletop feeling. Considering that this is a free-to-play game, and a browser game to boot, it would be easy to sell Card Hunter short. Heck, even the name feels...
And yes, there is a joke about “reading the articles” that can be made there, but that would have just been too easy.
With that said, this series has largely lost me and I do feel that it is now one of Square Enix’s weaker franchises. Fingers crossed that Kingdom Hearts 3, whenever that game happens, can be a return to form.
Other players might just jump into this game because it looks gorgeous (and it does), and because it has a genuine sense of humour. That’s fine – people go to the ballet because they love to see great dancing. But underneath that delightful exterior, Puppeteer is a far more intelligent...
Ah Diablo. The game that spawned an entire genre. There’s just something about going clickaclicka clickaclikca clickclick that speaks to a very primal reason why we play games. That simple and predictably repetitive activity becomes compulsive once players figure out that by doing it, they’re earning rewards.
Greenheart Games does need to be commended as they’ve crafted a solid, intelligent and well researched first entry into game design. Management genre fans will have much to love about Game Dev Tycoon, as it’s not afraid to punish players for making irresponsible decisions and squandering resources in a market...
The plot doesn’t require a back knowledge of the One Piece series, though it helps give each of the characters personality. Ultimately though, the only people that would even look at this game are fans of One Piece, and the game does a good job of recognising where its potential...
Real Boxing is a perfect example of why I love what the Vita is becoming. It’s one of the many indie games that are finding its way onto the console, and while it’s not worth buying a console for, once you have one of Sony’s powerhouses in your hands it’s...
Anyway, I’ve challenged, questioned and probed all I can. I’ve tried my best to criticise EU4 and only managed to moan about a few minor issues. Therefore, the only reasonable conclusion is that it’s a masterpiece. And it is. It’s Paradox’s best game to date, and they deserve to be...
Suda continues to be the preeminent surrealist of the games industry. His work is always interesting, and even though Killer is Dead’s gameplay itself is a little too unrefined for its own good, the thematic strength of it is enough to make it an interesting curiosity to sit on any...
Of course, the real strength of any game with the Final Fantasy name attached to it is the Final Fantasy name. A Realm Reborn is packed wall-to-wall with Final Fantasy-style costumes, chocobos, moogles and yet another brilliant music score. For lifelong fans of the Final Fantasy series, such as myself,...
