A couple of generations back, Troll and I might have been an acceptable first attempt from an inexperienced studio. While we have to appreciate the effort from Spiral House, it seems clear the team has bitten off far more than they could chew. Ambition alone isn't enough to justify the...
Returning as action-packed and as bloody as ever, Bulletstorm has survived the test of time and still delivers as a thoroughly enjoyable first-person shooter experience. The Full Clip Edition has delivered a major visual overhaul and, while there's no new content or cooperative option for the campaign, it's still worth...
All told we enjoyed our return to Lego City Undercover, and this overlooked entry in the Lego universe will finally have the chance to reach the audience it deserves. It's not a perfect port by any means, and they could and should have done something to shorten the loading times...
Many have wondered whether Yooka-Laylee is just for those wanting some nostalgia for a time 20 years ago when 3D platformers were arguably at their peak, but we'd argue there's more to it than just that. It's very well polished, and undoubtedly reminiscent of Banjo-Kazooie in a number of ways,...
Ultimately Has-Been Heroes feels like a missed opportunity, mainly because it almost takes pride in punishing the player, particularly early on. There are some great ideas here and the mechanics are nice, but the overall structure and design, and difficulty spikes, prevent it from being a definite recommendation. If you're...
P.S. When you start the game, turn the toilet paper option to 'over'. You neanderthal.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard struggled hard for this score. On top of a lack of clarity in the puzzle elements (which, we admit, might be on us), the game has some more obvious flaws. While it offers a few fantastic moments, these are unfortunately a little too few and far...
Persona 5
"Take Your Heart" is the tagline of Persona 5, and this is more than simply a mysterious introduction to the game's plot. Nay, it's a warning, because when you first load up the game and bear witness to the first cut scene, the game will have stolen your heart. Colour...
There's an element of entertainment to be found deep within the confines of Snake Pass, although this might be hard to spot at first. As always, figuring out a plan to wrap yourself around a certain structure, and executing it perfectly can make for fun moments, but they exist as...
Overall The Ringed City was lots of fun, and even towards the very end the studio succeeds in surprising us with some interesting ideas. However, familiar themes from the series are recycled and partly copied. This didn't have too much of a negative impact on our experience, but we know...
It's very much the details that make Night in the Woods so memorable, and although we want to tell you how the story unfolds, what exactly is being said, and how we experienced some of the memorable scenes, but we would much rather you experienced this on your own. Curiosity,...
You get total satisfaction when you complete the game, and it's absolutely rewarding, especially when you take into account the price. It's sublimely presented, offers addictive gameplay, and a story more powerful and better told than ever before. Nevertheless, the level design somewhat lowers the bar and this prevents us...
