As a summary, Black Future '88 is a challenging roguelike experience that offers lots of variety for fans of the genre to enjoy. The many unique weapons, enemies, playable characters and bosses make for exciting gameplay if you are comfortable with the punishing roguelike mechanics. Likewise, the ability to participate...
In a game that sometimes tries to be Portal without the portals and The Stanley Parable without the parable, the narrative often feels forced. However, as a puzzle game, its main mechanic proves original and fun despite some limitations. The experience as a whole is quite enjoyable if a bit...
All in all, Narcos is solid, but it's not a great game and it certainly had the potential to be better. It's one for the fans, and there are some good features in there (in particular, we liked the kill shot). However, strange AI decisions made the missions a bit...
In the end, Sparklite managed to bring a nice mix of features to an ever-growing genre. The engaging combat kept us entertained throughout, and whilst the story isn't the main focal point, the small amounts of dialogue and AI interactions gave us just enough of a connection to the characters...
Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy may not be a classic for the Switch but it's still the finest incarnation of this particular adventure to date, and it comes with an improved presentation and an additional 40 puzzles. We found the puzzles to be creative and a real...
Upon starting the game up for the first time, we were expecting a top-down detective RPG with beautiful visuals, however, we ended up getting so much more than that. Disco Elysium pulled on our heartstrings, hit us hard with its incredible humour, blew our minds with its deep and exceptionally...
Despite the aforementioned hitches none of them fatally tarnished our overall impression of Heaven's Vault. Among adventure games it is extraordinary, but among games in general it is a breath of fresh air. It is a rare game with a healthy respect for the player's inquisitiveness, rewarding your curiosity with...
Sure there are some little things that could have been better, but overall this is the best Star Wars title that EA has released since it acquired the license to make games set in A Galaxy Far, Far Away back in 2013. It's fun to play, hard to put down,...
All in all, Terminator: Resistance isn't a bad game, it's just not great either, which is a real shame because it could have been so much better. The graphics are OK, the sound effects recognisable, and the story is alright. In fact, it has all the elements you'd want from...
Overall, Football Manager 2020 has a variety of additions that we think are good news for those who want to play for the long haul thanks to the emphasis on long-term planning and rewards. This simulation becomes increasingly complex, but it can also become simpler, depending on the path you...
In an era of tough competition in the 3D platformer space, New Super Lucky's Tale manages to stand out with this reinvigorated version of the 2017 adventure. There's new content aplenty and a fresh layer of polish, meaning this is arguably the best way to experience Playful's game. It's still...
Overall, the niggles are relatively minor and for the most part, we are pleased with how this little nostalgia trip has come together. For dedicated players, there's an almost overwhelming amount of content to play through, from custom matches where anything is possible, through to authored campaigns that explore history...
