Hob
These are minor problems that didn't really affect our game experience, and overall we loved exploring Hob's world during its ten-hour adventure, (it can be longer if you want to fully complete it), the keyboard being precisely that: exploration. This is a game for those who enjoy losing themselves in...
All in all Rogue Trooper Redux really does feel like a remastered PS2 game, and that's where a lot of its shortcomings come in. Whether that be dated visuals or at times frustrating combat, Rogue Trooper often left us a bit underwhelmed in the minute-to-minute action, but the world it...
There's no doubt at all that Kazunori Yamauchi and his team have created one of their best racing games for many years. They have a new focus and we think it's a brilliant one. We don't care about the fact that the game requires constant connectivity (because it does) and...
The story of Rowan and Lianna (the former unbearable, the latter much more fun) is nothing that'll aspire of any Game of the Year prizes for best narrative, but we've never felt the urge to have any reason to kill people in the Musou series and its spin-offs before and...
All in all WWE 2K18 feels more like 2K17 with a little bit of spit and polish than a full-on iteration of the annual series. Relying on a text-driven RPG-style story in MyCareer is an idea that contains potential, but the horrible writing featured in the dialogue flattens the concept...
For Cherrymochi's first title, it's damn good. They haven't set their sights too high, and given that their website claims they "aim to bridge Japanese and Western game design", we can say with certainty that they've achieved that. Tokyo Dark never makes you feel like you don't understand due to...
This leaves us somewhat conflicted about the expansion. The content that is there is excellent and has truly reinvigorated our enjoyment of the game. The Crystal Desert has been beautifully reimagined, with a really great story to guide you through it. The mounts system has truly raised the bar for...
South Park: The Fractured but Whole ties together the storylines of the two games neatly. And in many ways, this is what a video game adaptation of a popular franchise should look like. This has been a true collaboration and you can really tell how much effort has gone into...
We finished the game in roughly two hours and although it's cheap, we can't honestly recommend the experience. It feels like a game that shows the developer's diverse knowledge, but in terms of a game in itself, it has some way to go before offering a compelling experience.
Elex
At times Elex may have had us firmly hooked with its blend of fantasy and sci-fi RPG elements, but its overall lack of polish with regards to presentation and combat ultimately holds it back from being a memorable experience. We can't fault its varied with regards to its open world,...
Taken as a whole, The Evil Within 2 feels like a sequel that matches the first. Sure, it doesn't have your standout bombastic sequences that the first game had, which moved you from one hellish nightmare to another before you could blink, but this isn't going to be a negative...
And that's our main gripe with Earth Atlantis. After a time the visuals might lose their initial lustre, but the style is nonetheless impressive. The controls, an important element in a game like this, are tight and responsive. The soundtrack and the regular ping of your sonar is oddly soothing....
