The game mechanics as such are intact, which makes it a bit limited around some things. I remember in 2017 reacting to the fact that you could not jump up or over things that reached Aloy's knees and the climbing is more elaborate than in the sequel. But if you...
In conclusion, The Lake House is an atmospheric and interesting adventure that is definitely worth fans of Control and Alan Wake's time. I just wish the game's narrative wasn't limited so much to reading email conversations, notes and other documents as it slows down the pace, which is already relatively...
Treyarch has righted the ship with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This is the Call of Duty game that Microsoft and Activision needed for a day one Game Pass launch, as it has a strong and thrilling Campaign, a tight and streamlined Multiplayer, and a fun and nostalgic Zombies...
Life is Strange: Double Exposure's sense of surprise doesn't hit with the same force as Life is Strange did nine years ago, but it has managed to re-engage me for a few hours to catch up with a character I've long wanted to see, and leave me with a sense...
Broadly speaking, Bioware is back, and while they're not reinventing the wheel here, they've made exactly the game we wanted them to make. An exclusively single-player RPG that is narratively anchored, far more linear, with all the content tailored and organised by skilled designers and without all the "bloat" that...
If you want to try something new on the gaming front and don't care about beautiful graphics and Ray-Tracing, then you should try Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered - I dare you.
If for some reason you've had time to play all the great Japanese role-playing games this year and need more to bite into, I can really recommend Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven Heroes. Sure, most of it is old-fashioned Japanese role-playing, but there's also an innovative generation mechanic...
Kong: Survivor Instinct is not a great video game, but it also isn't a disaster. There are elements and moments where you become quite embroiled in the story and fall into the rhythm of the platforming, and this is bolstered by the fact that it's quite a tight and streamlined...
Yet despite a few elements that rubbed me the wrong way, there's not much else you can say about The Smurfs: Dreams other than the fact that this game is a pleasant, sweet, easy, and good cooperative platforming experience. It won't eat up much of your time, it generally will...
Although the journey felt a little too tiring towards the end and the game does not really engage with new game elements and fairly simple game mechanics, I still have to conclude by saying that I had quite a lot of fun all the way throughout. It would have taken...
It's worth mentioning that while Sonic X Shadow Generations doesn't bring anything radically new to the Sonic series, it does what it does best - taking us on a nostalgic journey through Sonic's most iconic moments - in a highly competent way. The small technical issues and control glitches drag...
If I could wish, I would like the game controls to feel a little tighter, just like I felt when I played Crash Bandicoot 4. Both Niko and Luna move a little too slowly for my taste and their jumping animations are so detailed that it sometimes feels like they...
