I wish I could recommend A.I.L.A., because it really is an exciting game with potential, but I can't. It's been a long time since I've experienced to such an extent that a single part of a game can take pretty much everything else over the edge, but that's unfortunately the...
All in all, Syberia Remastered is almost a 1:1 copy of the original game. If you've already played Syberia, the remaster is primarily a nostalgic reunion. If you're new to the series, however, it's a fine and beautiful adventure game that focuses on the artistic rather than the entertaining.
But this is just the thing about this game, as while there are parts that impress, features that you will embrace and enjoy, there are also other elements that you will come away from frankly bewildered. It's an odd balance, an end-product that in the days after wrapping it up...
Project Motor Racing should not have been released at this stage, period. Maybe the rush and potential of the Christmas market was too much to resist, who knows. Still, somewhere deep down there is the framework of a promising car simulator here, but it definitely needs another year or even...
Surviving Mars: Relaunched is a robust city builder with a focus on microeconomics where you colonise and terraform Mars. This new edition is aimed at those who have not purchased the title before or are missing content. With improved graphics, user interface, and lots of content in one package, this...
As a whole, Absolum is not quite as strong as this year's other big action roguelike, Hades 2. But actually, I've had even more fun beating up the Sun King Azra than taking my father's house back from my grandfather. Perhaps this is because Absolum's genre mix feels incredibly fresh,...
Destiny 2 is still Destiny 2 though, and that means at the very centre is a well put together sci-fi shooter with gratifying and rewarding action gameplay. The base has been effective and enjoyable for years and that isn't changing whatsoever. But the change post The Final Shape to commit...
Octopath Traveler 0 has well-thought-out job and combat systems, well-written characters, and that fairy-tale and "classic" story I've been missing for the last 10+ years. Path Actions with Power, Wealth, and Fame is a system that turns all interactions into rewards. It's retro and modern at the same time and...
So can I recommend Sleep Awake? Yes, absolutely. Admittedly, the game is definitely not for the faint-hearted, who don't like being as powerless as Katja is at the beginning, but if you like exquisite dystopian horror atmosphere, then this is one of the best games in the genre since Alien...
But that is the fan in me talking. Metroid Prime shouldn't be about impertinent comments spoiling your conclusions, uninspired level design with zero smart intricacy, or riding around agoraphobic desert areas with less soul than 1998's Hyrule Field on a loosely-controlled bike. Metroid Prime should be tight and about making...
Whether you're a Marvel fan or an arcade/beat em' up lover, Tribute Games has once again proven that they are masters of the format with Marvel Cosmic Invasion. There's great variety and depth in this game and drop-in co-op, matched up with tons of references and fan-service that will make...
I cannot recommend Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive to anyone. Are you a die-hard fan of the franchise? Then I suggest you close your eyes and slowly back away to avoid it as there's a risk that your love for the series will completely dry up, or it's possible that as...
