Like a lot of of titles in this genre, Ark: Survival Evolved has a steep learning curve and requires quite the time – and possibly financial – investment. But once you get into the rhythm of it, the endless need to survive, set against the simple satisfaction of slowly building...
This is the best game in the Assassin’s Creed series. That extra year of development time has really helped Ubisoft find its creative centre again, and craft something that feels both fresh and energised. I could take or leave the shifts in gameplay to make this more like the loot-grind...
Megaton Rainfall is more of an experience than a game and one I soon won’t forget. It’s short, and simple, but asks a good question of the player while also giving him or her plenty of action. It’s better with VR, but worth a look in for just about everyone.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a quality JRPG throwback. It’s grindy and can be difficulty, but for people looking for a more casual experience the lower difficulty settings are a good introduction to the genre as a whole. With plenty of lore and heritage behind the game to further build it...
But still, Nights of Azure 2 is a really lovely game, and I don’t really play it for the combat anyway. Rooted in various theatrical styles that give it an aesthetic and tone that I find so appealing, it’s not the kind of game that could ever hope to find...
All in all, Yono and the Celestial Elephants is a game that is acutely aware of the great titles that it draws inspiration from, even it falls a little short in its well-meaning execution. The Zelda comparison is a prime example; you can acquire a cosmetic outfit in game that...
It has its moments of shock, too. I might have been slightly desensitised to Yomawari’s tempo and pacing with those shocks thanks to having played the predecessor, but the game still has a way of burrowing into my consciousness quite unlike any other horror game I’ve played in recent years...
Shadow of War looks gorgeous, as you would expect a AAA-blockbuster to do. It plays incredibly smoothly, and as far as open world games go, this one’s relatively bug free. This is all to be expected for a game with this kind of budget, and doesn’t really warrant a comment...
And it has Lyn. Bring on the swimsuit DLC and I’ll throw in another full star for good measure.
Backed by gorgeous production values and, critically, voice acting that’s able to carry the nuance this script demands, Echo is distinctive, characteristic and artful. It’s not a stretch to say it’s probably the smartest shooter that I’ve ever played, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that I’ve been waiting...
Still, Forza Motorsport 7 is a fantastic game that checks all of the boxes racing fans are likely looking for. I still think that there is something slightly lacking when compared to its more spirited sibling, Forza Horizon, but Motorsport still manages to put on one heck of a show....
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched South Park, it would have to be almost ten years at the time of writing. I had an absolute ball with The Fractured but Whole. The story of a superhero civil war, coupled with fighting for Instagram followers is likely going to...
