Verdun
The longer we spend with Verdun the more we appreciate it, and given the content planned for the game in the months ahead, we're expecting it to continue maturing. As far as historical shooters go, this is aiming at the top spot currently held by the excellent Rising Storm, and...
However, these are small issues. The bottom line is that Project CARS manages to refresh the racing simulation genre, and in doing so sets a new level that future entries into this genre need to, at the very least, match in order to compete with the competition. And even then,...
While the game offers some extras on Steam over its mobile counterpart, it's easy enough to spot the mobile origins of the game. Not that it's entirely a bad thing. The game is designed for short sessions and serves as a great little time sink in windowed mode while you're...
I am Bread lives solely on some unforgiving mechanics that don't allow any room for mistakes. It's ultimately very fair, but it's also very cumbersome in a way that will make it very frustrating. Naturally this concept is firmly aimed at the "YouTube generation" and the controls and concept are...
The increased challenge also makes for a slightly uneven pace across the adventure as a whole. Some will no doubt be glad to hear about the higher difficulty, but if you stay away from guides you're likely going to feel frustrated at times (unless you're an adventure game wunderkid). That...
Overall we enjoyed blasting away at the Covenant and Prometheans in Halo: Spartan Strike. There's some tense set pieces to fight through, and once again they've managed to cleverly adapt the Halo brand to fit this alternative perspective. Having said all that, while we most certainly appreciated the effort, it...
At the end of the day Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China offers a refreshing spin on the Assassin's Creed concept. At times you're spoilt for choice with the numerous options at your disposal, but ultimately we never felt that urge to continue on and finish the game in one sitting.
Convoy
Repetition is the chief thing that holds Convoy back. That, and the rock-hard difficulty spikes. There's plenty of fun to be had here, with some interesting systems cleverly meshed together to create an engaging experience, albeit one that can frustrate after prolonged periods of play and that can, at times,...
Mortal Kombat X is a superb fighting game. The combat system is excellent, and respectful towards the legacy of the series. The cast is vast and varied, and it's packed with content that seemingly never ends. Whether for the solo player, or for those out there who like to challenge...
If you want an old school graphic adventure , Dead Synchronicity is one of the best of its type available right now. If you want a story loaded with symbolism and great design, DS: TCT is a great choice. But you have to be aware of the inner conflict, of...
Ride
The problem, the same one that destroyed the past few Gran Turismo and drops the score, is the dry and lifeless presentation, a generic voiceover, awful loading times and poor music. If Milestone can keep the racing physics intact but renovate all the other elements, then maybe a potential sequel...
What you won't get is an experience that is wildly different from that of the main game - Jaws of Hakkon caters to players who want more open world activities and who would like to dig a little deeper into the lore of the world. And who wouldn't want to...
