If the above sounds at all intriguing, you should take the plunge, even if the lack of a large, ever-building campaign discourages you. There are so many ways to tackle each game, so many tactical options and choices, that it manages to remain a fun toy to play with whether...
Fear Effect Sedna is largely relying on nostalgia to sell itself, and for someone who has no interest in the series, there is little reason to get involved now. Even fans are going to have to slog through it to some extent, and the game's frustrating and generally clunky execution...
The voices for Fox and the practice narrator are excellent, we would like to add. Fox's nonchalant attitude to the game is novel, added to the fact he's willing to help you sabotage battles and lets you pay to win games only works to make the rivalry between players even...
Crushed under the weight of too many poorly realised ideas, Past Cure struggles to hold its own identity. Its seven-chapter story is a bizarre mashup of psychological horror, third-person action, and puzzle solving, but there's no kind of cohesive thread to tie it all together. The gunplay is imprecise, and...
We've also encountered a couple of issues, so the game is by no means perfect. Even with their random nature, the clubs look very much the same, for example. Ultimately, the strength of All Walls Must Fall rests in its pacing and variation. Daily challenges, the permadeath feature, and the...
Full Metal Furies is bright and a bit quirky - a co-op focused brawler with some nice touches to character development and storytelling. The old school mentality comes across nicely without feeling outdated, and the surprisingly expansive progression keeps things interesting throughout the Furies' campaign to rid the world of...
All-in-all balance is the key word when looking at Dandara, whether that's a balance between tried and tested mechanics of old and new and interesting ones, or the balance between challenge and accessibility. There's elements in here for both young casual gamers to enjoy as well as seasoned veterans of...
Gravel
Music-wise, it's pretty darn horrible. It often sounds as if The Spice Girls started a metal-band and it didn't take long before we decided to turn off all the music in the game. We must say that on the whole we like Gravel, though. Even if the music is bad...
It's always been tough getting gaming icons of the past to become modern and engaging to the 21st century gamer, but with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus Bandai Namco has cranked the speed up to 100 miles an hour, turned up the music, and really upped the ante, producing a...
Summing up our thoughts on a game as divisive as this isn't easy, as just because it's not a typical Metal Gear outing doesn't make it bad. In fact, at times we really enjoyed it. It's a bit slow and grueling at the start, but the further you get into...
All-in-all though Layers of Fear: Legacy stands up to previous editions of the game, and the fact that it's available to take with you to any spooky place you choose and that it includes Inheritance, all for the very reasonable price of £17.99, makes it a worthwhile purchase. Whether you're...
Overall, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is definitely a remaster of an ageing game. The original is now over 20 years old and this is especially evident in some weird and occasionally annoying gameplay mechanics. Therefore, the original Age of Empires will fall short compared to newer games in the...
