I'm obviously having a hard time getting my arms down over Shadow of the Erdtree. FromSoftware hasn't reinvented itself with the expansion, but I think they've created their best piece of content yet, both from an aesthetic and, more importantly, a design standpoint. I'm a huge fan of the smaller,...
Selaco
After all, for an investment of £20 you get one of the most well-lubricated, explosive retro-scented jaw-droppers in years, with gameplay that will make your hair stand on end. Selaco is brilliant, deliciously chaotic and blends the best of the genre's most iconic games into a sweet, fragrant and hyper-violent...
If I'm complaining that Still Wakes the Deep loses some of its ability to scare and could have used an even stronger emotional core, it's only because there is so much potential. The Chinese Room has succeeded brilliantly with their original pitch of The Thing on an oil rig, while...
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is not for everyone, it's for the veterans and the players who have stuck by this game year-after-year-after-year, and it's precisely this that makes it such a brilliant end product. It's crammed to the brim with content, has hugely impactful and important story developments, takes...
That being said, it is still in many ways three pretty entertaining parts. Rose's frenetic action party, Jesse's visit to Coffee World, and Sheriff Baker's twisted journey to say the least. All have their dose of charm and there is much that still works. You get a clearly approved reason...
After all these years of development and polishing, there is no doubt that Natural Motion has produced one of the most well-made mobile games I have tried in years. Sure, sometimes the game mechanics and touch controls feel a bit too automated and I miss more opportunities to utilise the...
Overall, I'm glad that MultiVersus is back again. It's a damn fun multiplayer game, though I feel Player First Games and Warner have made it strangely difficult for themselves. Removing things from the beta (which was criticized for having too little content) just feels odd and the fact that the...
F1 24
Ultimately, though, it's fair to say that F1 24 builds on the tradition and offers the most complete and bold representation of the sport you can find on console or PC. Both online and offline, there's plenty to do and the racing is just as absorbing as ever. I struggle...
Ultimately, though, the question is, is Robobeat worth your time? Yes, but with a caveat. It's a sprawling package at the moment and the noticeably sluggish start means that the game isn't necessarily easy to get into, and an appreciation of electronic music and the rhythm genre is a prerequisite....
Capes
I do think that with an undo button in combat and perhaps an adjustment and tweak to the difficulty, or perhaps the sheer number of enemies that Capes throws at you, it could be a top turn-based strategy title. As it is, with its few pitfalls, it isn't quite as...
But Duck Detective falls short, even though it works in a way. It's not bad, but the whole thing reeks of unrealised potential, and I really hope Happy Broccoli gets the chance to give this formula another shot, because the concept is downright brilliant. It's also much better than the...
Ubisoft has something very special on their hands here, but if this launch version of XDefiant is even a marginal sign of this game's future, it will not survive. It's free so check it out and play it for a couple of days, but you'll probably go back to Call...
