Who is Alwa's Awakening for, then? Well, if you enjoy challenging NES platformers, you'll probably like what Alwa's Awakening is doing, but if you don't like not knowing where to go sometimes, and prefer a bit more hand-holding, then it's definitely going to grate on you. There's pretty much nothing...

1-2-Switch is a decent collection of tech demos, and they're a great way to show off your new console to friends. It's throwaway family fun, and you could definitely have a good time with this at a party (Team Battle is a mode for 2-20 players where two teams compete...

This is the biggest and most ambitious game Nintendo has ever created, and the best part is that it's not just a matter of increased scale and production, it's because of the brilliant gameplay. Breath of the Wild changes the series forever, simultaneously making its predecessor feel tiny in comparison...

Is it a worthy spiritual successor to Planescape Torment then? We'd say so, even if it's not perfect. It's an RPG that almost borders on a visual novel given its heavy reliance on text and story over combat, grinding, and character development. But it is something different, something that removes...

We've spent dozens (that's plural) of hours on this game and there's still more to be done, more trophies to collect, and more to unlock. If you enjoy a good Dynasty Warriors soap opera full of retreating enemies, backstabbing allies, betrayals, and stern and honourable warriors, as well as a...

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk will please both Berserk and Musou (Warriors) fans alike. A well made story mode and a faithful interpretation of the manga will satisfy fans of the series, but it's also a good starting point for people who have yet to enjoy Berserk. Endless...

However, the voice acting and the other small foibles here and there end up being so obscure, so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Guerrilla has truly stepped out of the shadow of the Killzone series, and has put themselves and their talent forward into the light of the...

With For Honor Ubisoft has delivered one of the most memorable and intense online experiences in recent memory, its 1v1 battles are bracing and intense and its combat system offers much depth to explore. It may suffer from a short-lived campaign and clunky mechanics with regards to combat with multiple...

Halo Wars 2 isn't really pushing the boundaries of the genre, outside of Blitz which seems like a great combination of arena gameplay, deck building and the fast, arcade style of the game itself, but that's perhaps not expected either. Players are treated to a great package that offers plenty...

For the fourth main entry in the series, Rebellion has certainly upped its game. Sniper Elite 4 is a complete package that offers a decent campaign, plenty of co-op action, and solid multiplayer. It marks a step up for the franchise, and the extra time that the studio took to...

The game is clearly either too long or contains too many repetitive tasks. Moments of boredom can't be avoided. Still somehow, after the game has ended, you might find yourself missing the daily loop of events. Also, it's hard to say goodbye to the A.I. holograms because during the four-hour-long...

Diluvion is game like little else there, with some wit and charm, plenty of weird things to see, and some unsettling sights, all wrapped up in what's overall a refreshing package. This is marred by a few bugs and janky interfaces, but also by a few of the core design...
