Old Man's Journey might be fleeting, but it's also something to savour. You might get some replay value from revisiting it at some point down the line, but its true emotional power can be found chiefly in that first play-through, when everything is fresh and, at times, delightful. It's a...
With Impact Winter, Mojo Bones has crafted a chilling mix of survival and RPG elements that makes for a unique experience each time you play. The snow smothered landscapes and excellent score make for a truly immersive experience, and it remains varied and engaging throughout, regardless of your chosen path...
Injustice 2 is an excellent fighting game, perhaps even better than Mortal Kombat X, and considerably better than Injustice: Gods Among Us. The cast of characters, around 30 fighters strong, includes a selection of quality characters to choose from. Even if it lacks names like Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Batgirl, Doomsday,...
While it proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, this strictly single-player affair manages to break free from the shackles of being just another Souls-like video game. The body harvesting looting mechanic and chilling setting of a machine-dominated dystopian future help it to hold its own, and its relentless difficulty...
Overall Dragon Quest Heroes II is a noticeable improvement over the first, and Musou fans will find it a joy to play. The game's co-op portion is good when it works, but is hindered by a few problems, and although the main antagonist is forgettable, the story as a whole...
As a whole Dreamfall Chapters is an okay adventure game which may well appeal to fans of Telltale's formula of multiple choices, except here they have a bit more of an effect on things. Despite the technical side faltering a bit, it's an entertaining package of storytelling and puzzle solving.
Should you play this collection, then? Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is intended for those of you who haven't played any games in the series, but it's also for anyone who played it on PlayStation 2 and then skipped the last-gen collection. Also, it's best when combined with the...

As much as the game intends to be difficult, though, we found it was at times obstinate, refusing us supplies unless we scoured the maps for workbenches and then paid an extortionate amount of scrap, slowing the pace of the game dramatically. That said, there's a lot of fun to...
As its name suggests, The Sexy Brutale is easy on the eyes, it attracts you with its visual style, its design, and its characters, but it is also a brutal affair and death is an ever-present. It's a charming game full of character, and it's a joy to watch the...
Prey
It's a very good game, then, but not quite an exceptional one. Exploring the darkest corners of Talos 1, fighting this new alien threat, and becoming immersed in this space-age adventure has largely been a pleasure, but every now and then we were left wishing that things had gone in...
After decades, this classic adventure still holds its own in comparison with modern games, as the original story includes plenty of witty jokes and funny references, the characters have personalities that are emphasised some excellent voice work, and the timeless surroundings and classical core story elements make for an unforgettable...
Tumbleseed is the most punishing game we've played in some time, and the difficulty level may put some people off, but those who like a challenge will thrive on what's offered here. Despite a fairly ambiguous opening couple of hours, it doesn't take long to reveal itself as a deep...
