Goodbye Volcano High has definitely surprised me. Clearly KO_OP has a knack for this style of game, as this is one of the better narrative-heavy titles on the market. It has its kinks for sure, but generally, this is definitely a game to check out if you've ever wondered what...
There are simply few games that offer this huge quantity of content, but also back it up with quality. Timeless classics like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4 feel downright limited by comparison, yet share that wonderful sense of adventure waiting around every corner. Trust me when I...
The design is gorgeous with a kind of retro-futuristic aesthetic that I really like. The mix of minimalism and style is successful and the depth of the sea is beautiful in a way that I didn't expect. Having lived on the bottom in the extraordinarily atmospheric Subnautica, I hadn't thought...
I must say I'm disappointed in what was supposed to be the big year for the Madden series, as it's either success or failure, all or nothing. That "make or break" statement from the developers really made it seem like we were going to see something very special, which we...
Still, I feel it necessary to point out that I missed versatility, variety and a curveball or two to create an increased drive through the narrative, but at the same time I recognise that one's tolerance for the mildly unnecessary layers of fat that distract from the juicy core is...
Among other roguelikes, I can't say that Dust & Neon stands out in any way, but it relies on its charming theme and aesthetics while unfortunately never being particularly entertaining to actually play. With a slow pace, boring weapons, uninteresting upgrades and a lackluster story, it doesn't even come close...
All in all, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a really exciting experience, full of great ideas and atmosphere, but unfortunately held back by the limited resources available to the developers. However, the game was a great experience overall, and I'm looking forward to a possible sequel if they can...
Armored Core VI is handsome and entertaining mecha action, which is sure to be ordered. Those familiar with FromSoftware know how to expect a hard level of difficulty, but still the uneven difficulty curve becomes the worst part of the game. If you can live with it, it's hard to...
As it stands, Fort Solis is an atmospheric experience with impressive graphics and a slow, but interesting central narrative. But as a game it falls short on many parameters, with low interactivity, shoddy quick time events and exploration that rarely feels rewarding. I can only imagine that the actual game...
These disappointments don't stop me from thinking of Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. All beloved games starting some of the best and biggest franchises in the world. Immortals of Aveum is even better than those, so I truly hope it gets the attention, recognition and sales it...
Ride 5
Overall, Ride 5 is a step forward for the series and it is currently the best game on the current console generation in the motorcycle racing sports sub-genre. The improvements to the presentation and career mode are outstanding, and on the track the bikes, from a 1981 Suzuki to a...
Blasphemous II will take you around 15-20 hours depending on how much of a completionist you consider yourself, which makes for a tight enough experience in my opinion. If you're a fan of the genre, I'd say this is the best Metroidvania 2023 will see, and I also think it's...
