Knee Deep may lack a degree of polish with regards to its score and presentation, and its gameplay may be bare-bones at best, but it's still a worthwhile experience for any point-and-click adventure fans who are seeking a revitalising twist on the genre. After the final curtain call we may...

Team Ninja manages to combine many of the features of the Souls series with something different and unique of its own. It's not up there with the best of what From Software has produced, mainly due to the weakness it shows in storytelling and the general presentation, but it is...

At the end of the day Urban Empire is a really interesting mix of elements. Unfortunately it gets repetitive, and fails to capture the joy and creativity found in the best city builders, while it also gets bogged down by a less than stellar user interface and lots of micromanagement....

The early notes in Tales of Berseria were promising, but this sixteenth game in the series couldn't quite maintain its strong start. The main storyline is intriguing thanks to the new, demonic viewpoint, and the characters are well-written and voiced in both English and Japanese. Combat mechanics are deep, but...

While it may not be a definitive collection or a recommended entry point for newcomers to the series, A Final Chapter Prologue still succeeds in bringing three thoroughly enjoyable adventures to home consoles for the first time. A Fragmentary Passage showcases massive potential for the series forthcoming chapter and is...

With Resident Evil 7, Capcom clearly looked to spice up the series by doing something new, mixing fresh ideas with what the fans know and love. What is most impressive, however, is the atmospheric horror that has been woven into an impactful story, and despite minor flaws it gripped us...

All in all, we'd say that Yakuza 0 would made a fine addition to your PS4 library if you're a fan of the series, and even if you enjoy the genre in general. It certainly looks the part, but above all it manages to entertain in lots of different ways....

We'd love to score Rise & Shine higher. It's oozing with personality, has an excellent soundtrack and top-of-the-line platformer graphics. There's charm in spades and clear indication of affectionate group of people behind it. Therefore it's a shame this three-hour foray into Gamearth didn't win us over, mostly due to...

Thus one ends up with a port of an old classic which could have been worked on more, but that still doesn't overshadow the game's qualities. Dragon Quest VIII holds up well after a decade, and for our part, it's been a pleasure to rediscover this old adventure. Players who...

We would have liked to have given this one a higher score, because the creatively implemented ideas fascinated us and we enjoyed them for the entirety of this lengthy game, but in the midst of frantic situations like when you're fighting larger opponents, or during the stealth-driven passages of play,...

Shadow Tactics is an accomplished and stylish blend of action and stealth that's tough but fair, requiring diligence and curiosity from the player instead of mere brutal efficiency (though there's a place for that in here too). While there might be annoyances, there are also interesting challenges, new contextual effects,...

For the most part Space Hulk: Deathwing is a game that shooter fans can have great fun with, even newbies to Warhammer 40,000 will find plenty to admire. Sure, the setting holds more appeal for existing fans, and character depth and story aren't always as impressive as they could have...
