There are parts of Thick as Thieves I enjoyed. The world has a strong stylistic core and some of the background elements in the story piqued my interest, too. It's also quite hard to bomb on a game that does just cost £5. However, it is a drastically disappointing project,...
More experienced players CAN certainly play this, but the challenge consists solely of finding everything in every level, and you have to be prepared for the fact that the game has virtually no difficulty level if you choose to dive into Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for the Nintendo Switch...
No, Zero Parades never reaches the same dizzying heights as Disco Elysium, but perhaps it doesn't need to. When I switched off Zero Parades, it almost felt as though Portofiro continued to exist without me somewhere out there in the darkness, as if the city were simply waiting for the...
So... the rating? There have actually been a couple of moments during the adventure where I've wondered whether I should award our absolute top rating (something I haven't done since 2021). Ultimately, the slightly too easy difficulty level and the somewhat unpolished combo system in the battles meant I couldn't...
No, the truth is more complex, and thankfully so. Horizon 6 disappointed me. Me, who has played all six instalments in the series. I feel some of the progress Horizon 5 introduced is missing; I don't think Playground are willing enough to experiment with everything from progression to UI design;...
The story's closure and major points leave me cold, but I look back on the bulk of it and I'm still left marvelled by the awe-inspiring sights, the creative puzzles that soar in quality at their best, the moments of personal banter between Harry and Elizabeth that made me smile....
I'm tempted to call Directive 8020 Supermassive's best game. It probably doesn't surpass the blast that I thought Until Dawn was, as in many ways, it was far more kitschy and downright cheesy, but it worked well as a sort of party horror game. Directive 8020 is a serious sci-fi...
If you are a newcomer to gaming and open-world games, then Outbound is a reasonable first recommendation for you to play. It's simplistic, low-stakes, cosy camping fun with accessible puzzles and foraging elements that are even better experienced as a multiplayer game. Yet, I do feel that there is something...
Ultimately, X-Men: The Arcade Game single-handedly saves the score to a six, because without it I would have given it a five. Silver Surfer is, at best, interesting as a stylistic exercise, and the other four are rather mediocre and, at times, too similar to one another. It's as if...
This is a game, which while not particularly mechanically complex, has been crafted with such a clear creative vision that it's hard to fault. Every part of Mixtape feels as though it belongs, be it the stop-motion-like animated characters, the picturesque and colourful artistic direction, the straightforward but refined narrative...
In Dominion mode, you need to hold key points. It's a bit like Company of Heroes.
Constance is definitely worth checking out if you haven't yet had your fill of the many great games in the genre that we've been spoiled with over the past while, and it's priced quite reasonably, at just around £17.
