As you might have noticed by now, we were captivated by Florence and the experience it gave us. In nearly all respects it has been perfectly put together, creating a rich and rewarding narrative experience that effortlessly engages the player throughout. Our main issue, and the reason we've not scored...
Considering the Wii U wasn't the most popular console in the world, moving the franchise onto the Switch seems like a genius move for Bayonetta 1 + 2, as it gives a wider audience a chance to join the wicked witch on her high octane adventures, with a sequel that's...
On the whole, though, it's a nice looking and sounding game, and it's great fun to play, at least at first. There are more booms and bangs than... ok, no more innuendos. It isn't going to bring back retro gaming, but it will keep you laughing and entertained for a...
With Monster Energy Supercross, Milestone has made great use of the license and delivered what feels like a true celebration of the sport. Its high-energy races really capture the essence of its real-life counterpart and there's plenty of recognisable content including iconic tracks, professional racers, and notable brands. The robust...
When faced with the prospect of reverse Xcom, with aliens eating annoying middle managers, we were very intrigued. Lightweight strategy elements and a stronger emphasis on linear storytelling made for a very different experience to the one we were expecting, and while a touch more strategic depth wouldn't have gone...
Fe
To sum up, Fe is beautiful, mesmerising, and artistic. While not for everyone, if you enjoyed titles like Journey or Abzû then it's absolutely worth considering. It's weird and wonderful, surreal and frustrating, all at the same time. It made us both thoughtful and confused, with the lack of story...
In conclusion, the fun here comes from the atmosphere, the comprehensive background detail, and the work put into characters and presentation, with some amazing nods and a couple of memorable scenarios, rather than coming from truly engaging gameplay. That said, the game feels somehow dynamic and refreshing, and delivers good...
It's just a shame then that while Warhorse has clearly poured a lot of love into Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it fails to hit the mark in a number of areas. It's a hugely ambitious game, but perhaps it's that level of ambition that has ended up being its downfall, with...
That said, this shouldn't detract from the fact there's a lot here for Musou/Warriors fans to enjoy. There's bad voice acting, which is pretty much a staple for the series; intense and explosive action; a varied and diverse cast of characters; and a story with a ton of different perspectives....
So, ultimately, the main conceit of Strikers Edge is a smart one. Not only that, it works well the majority of the time. It even looks and sounds the part. Yet somehow it lacks the genuine simplistic entertainment value of the genre giants, and it isn't nuanced enough to warrant...
Whilst the game hints at choices you could (or should) make, you are entirely free to either abide or ignore the hints. You are free to have affairs with other men or women. You can anger the church or insult your general. Some choices may be wiser than others, but...
The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia also offers an arcade mode for fighting against the computer or other players, although characters, stages, and costumes have to be unlocked in the campaign first. While this does offer some variety, it doesn't hide the fact that the game is flawed in...
