After three decades at the forefront of the RPG genre it's refreshing to see that the franchise is still experimenting with new ideas in a ploy to branch out to new audiences. An excellent new stacking mechanic, Pokémon-like monster catching, and an alluring new visual style are just a few...
Considered in its entirety Titanfall 2 is easy to recommend. The single-player part of the game is great, despite being short-lived, and it offers an easily consumable five to six hour campaign that mixes action, platforming, light puzzles and some memorable set-pieces. Sure, they could have done more with it,...
However, I still see the general potential in VR racing. In a couple of years, the whole thing could feel and look much better.
Although the collection is not at the level we would have hoped, these are still two superb games, both among the best of the last generation. If you haven't played them yet, this collection is an absolute must, especially if you're a fan of the Dark Knight (and if you...
However, if you are up for multiple play-throughs and high score chasing then you're in luck. Mizuguchi's genre defining rhythm shooter has aged very well indeed and still feels fresh and immediate, and any age-revealing wrinkles are worn with pride. The classic soundtrack from the original and the new tunes...
Thumper is an intense experience than justifies its title as a "rhythm violence game", and we had immense fun sliding round corners and dodging attacks as we helped enhance the soundscape. We revelled in the eye-catching scenery as much as we did as its demanding challenge. Rhythm action fans should...
Eve: Valkyrie hasn't made a lasting impression on us, neither narratively nor mechanically. That said, it's hard to deny that the sense of place, of feeling like you're actually sitting in a space ship looking around at the different instruments and seeing incoming bogeys from the periphery of your vision,...
You should of course consider the shortcomings mentioned above, but the most important thing that you need to remember is that RIGS is one of the games causing the most motion sickness among players, so you really need to try it first (there's a demo on the disc/PS Store). No...
On the whole the small complaints we have with the Battlefield 1 right now are just that: small complaints, nitpicking. There are a few bugs that annoyed us (when you manage to shoot down the large airship there may be some debris stuck in the air, and the mantling animations...
Zenith
We really would like to say that Zenith is at the very least a game of two halves, as it doesn't have the worst story in the world, Argus isn't as unlikable as we thought he would be, and to tell you the truth we did chuckle a few times....
At least this is reflected in the game's price, which comes in at £15.49 (€19.99). A fair price for what Wayward Sky offers, and what it offers is a smooth, peaceful, and fun entry point for someone taking their first steps into virtual reality. If that's the case for you,...
HoPiKo
Even though the levels in Hopiko are potentially extremely short, all but the best players will spend a fair bit of time conquering them, such is the challenge that they offer. To keep you company as you play there's a pulsating chiptune soundtrack (that was composed entirely on a Gameboy,...
