At the end of the day, the enjoyment you'll get from The Stone of Madness will depend, first, on how much you like real-time strategy games, something like Commandos, Desperados, or Shadow Complex, and second, on how courageous you can be when faced with a challenge that is as rewarding...
Synduality: Echo of Ada tries to break into a crowded market with new ideas, but it doesn't feel like it's been baking in the oven long enough. It doesn't take long before it starts to feel repetitive and the enemies feel mostly dull. Bandai Namco will need to update the...
It's surprising that with such a simple premise and simple gameplay, solo developer Cyberwave has managed to strike such an exquisite balance between player progression and curiosity to get to the end of the story in A Game About Digging A Hole. He says it took him less than two...
Enchantment Under the Sea is like a well-oiled machine. It may have fewer cogs than the main game, but the connections across level design, weapons, abilities, and exploration are more robust than ever. The story could perhaps have been told in a more straightforward manner, and don't let the trailers...
These are small complaints in what is otherwise a masterclass in RPG design, though. If Warhorse has truly achieved its original vision with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, then what an ambitious vision this was. A title that combines the best of RPGs we've loved, with its own unique niche of...
Even if you've played Ninja Gaiden II before, this is the perfect opportunity to take it for another spin. And if for some reason you've missed this newer generation of Ninja Gaiden altogether, Ninja Gaiden II Black is the best place to start. Just remember that this isn't a time...
Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is truly a gem, and it manages to take an already fantastic concept and make it even better. The wintry environments are as beautiful as they are challenging, and the new gameplay mechanics make the experience feel fresh and new. The game may require both skill...
However, it's hard to say that the dream of a Breath of the Wild/Shadow of the Colossus crossover is a resounding success. It just isn't. It's entertaining in glimpses, no doubt about it, but from combat to meta upgrades, from static storytelling to a slightly half-baked daily gameplay loop, it's...
However, the artificial intelligence of the enemies is still a problem that can ruin the experience in some places. That said, it's still strangely satisfying to hit your target from hundreds of metres away and the cool and slightly grotesque kill-cam makes it even more enjoyable. Sniper Elite: Resistance is...
It may sound like I'm more negative about Tails of Iron 2, but that's not true at all. I just wasn't expecting a sequel, so it's a shame that Odd Bug Studio manages to make many of the first game's mistakes again, even though it takes crucial steps in the...
Still, as far as a round-based tower-defence action game goes, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap nails the task at hand well. It's entertaining, highly replayable, fine as a solo experience and better as a cooperative one, and it has stunning visuals too. After a bunch of hours it can feel a...
In many ways, it feels like a simpler indie game that is in no way bad or boring. As a whole, it's just a little too stripped down and without directly surprising or offering anything that feels directly exciting. The game comes with a low price tag and true hardcore...
