Overall this is something of a mixed bag. Clearly there are aspects that we really like. The Loeb Experience mode is crammed full of enthusiasm and good research, and provides a really nice picture of our time's greatest rally drivers. We also like how the cars feel on the road,...
All the magic from the Vita version is still here in this remaster, however the bigger screen just makes it harder to look away from the mistakes. Regardless of the game's shortcomings, it's still worth playing for everything it does well (which is a lot). It's noticeable that it's originally...
So is it worth the effort of jumping into a spaceship and setting out to explore the stars with Starpoint Gemini 2? Yes, most definitely. Just don't forget to bring an ample supply of patience along for the ride.
There is no doubt that the 16 hour single-player campaign of Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is one of the most delicious we have experienced in the genre in a while (this despite some less than stellar AI). And thus the game is deserving of a score to match this. Had...
Having said all that, our overall impression leans on positive. Sword Art Online: Lost Song is a fun, solid journey that is easy to get into. It does have its problems but persevere and you'll be rewarded with a fun and an enjoyable experience. And it's worth noting that fans...
Thankfully the game manages to rise above most of its problems and in doing so it delivers an experience that both comes across as unique, and rather personal in its own way. This story starring Alex is interesting, deep and easy to identify with, and while the dialogue appears odd...
At the end of the day we're not quite sure who this will appeal to. Assassin's Creed fans would likely have wanted a game with more story and exploration (a 2.5D Metroidvania style AC would be brilliant), but what we're left with here is a stealth platformer that's decent yet...
And if the result is to offer a culturally relevant and important title that offers reflection on a theme as deep as humanity contemplating death, but at the same time providing moral support to the many families forced to live through similar dramas, {That Dragon, Cancer} is revealed as a...
The fact you can get killed by running off cliffs or friendly fire, or by getting squashed if your ride home lands on you, and because female characters aren't running around extremely hostile planets in metal bikinis, it all adds authenticity to the experience. The multiplayer mode is without question...
However, the lack of familiar tracks with which to experiment and limited diversity in music deters from what is otherwise a solid gaming experience. These pitfalls mean that Amplitude is unlikely to ever hit super status. If Guitar Hero can be likened to that of an insanely popular band selling...
It's obvious that the goal has been to offer as much Star Wars as possible and try and include everything important from the movie. It's great fun to soar the skies with the Millennium Falcon, the X-Wings are wonderful and several missions are clever as they inject some sublime humour;...
Tales from the Borderlands is an interesting spin-off on Gearbox Software's popular loot 'em up. It is also an interesting and rather extreme variant on the Telltale formula. In our opinion it's a great fit for the fiction, but if you're expecting a game with puzzles and areas to explore...
