In conclusion, Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is a Lovecraftian game that struggles to really set itself apart from others in the genre. Its strengths lie in the narrative and variety of customisations, which offer countless ways to approach the title, but it's let down by monotonous combat sequences...
This is a worthy continuation of Yooka and Laylee's journey though, one that doesn't feel like a spinoff either. It feels like a fully-fledged 2D game to go alongside the 3D platforming original, with the same level of personality and variety-packed in there. Perhaps steer clear of the Impossible Lair...
If you have never played a Souls-like game, Code Vein might be a good place to start. The story is not that interesting or important, but it is now easier than ever to learn the basic mechanics by using the tutorial and read hint section. To us, the most important...
We found The Surge to be one of the most overlooked and underappreciated Souls-likes and this sequel is no different as it manages to deliver much of the same magic whilst dishing out some sizable improvements. Its environments feel more open and varied, side quests provide variety and ease the...
Despite being short and having one or two slightly obscure puzzles, Untitled Goose Game is a breezy delight and a game that parents will no doubt enjoy with their children. We don't say this lightly, but House House has crafted probably the most charming games we've ever played, and its...
That said, there are some redeeming factors to mention. The world design is nice, from Desmond's luxurious mansion to the infernal depths, and the enemy design is good albeit unvaried. The soundtrack is fitting and parts of the narrative are interesting enough to capture your attention (while others are not)....
While we noted the technical issues were still prevalent post-launch, and that weaker elements such as the clunky driving and segmented zones from earlier entries were still not fixed, the new alt-fire modes introduce even more flexibility to your arsenal, the coop experience has been improved with individualised loot and...
Mutazione is the type of experience that doesn't grab you by the shoulders and whisk you up into an action-packed adventure, but it tells personal and very real stories similar to the likes of Night in the Woods. It's a touching game that makes us feel for all the characters,...
Much has changed in FIFA 20. Volta is a great new way to enjoy football, the traditional Career and FUT modes include new features, and the overall FIFA 20 package is amazing. The quality and quantity of game modes, licenses, soundtracks (there are two, one for the base game, one...
As such, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is able today to do again what it did back then. You might find much more complex and deep narrative and mechanics, but this game doesn't need to dive those waters to stand out. Neither does it need to find new concepts,...
You'll experience a lot of trial and error instances and you'll most likely die more times than you'd like, but the freedom you have regarding exploration and problem solving as a player makes the game more than just a dungeon crawler. Getting through the tougher parts of a dungeon and...
In summary, Blasphemous is a gory and creepy action-platformer set in a non-linear 2D pixel world, featuring a variety of enemies, equippable items, and traversable environments. The title, which starts off strong thanks to its hack and slash combat, is let down by repetitive mechanics that do not particularly reward...
