If you're looking for a relaxing experience to melt away the hours over the Christmas period then Grow: Song of the Evertree would be a solid choice. It ticks all of the boxes of an excellent life sim, as it features a wealth of customisation options and its gameplay is...
But, apart from that, the whole Ruined King package managed to surprise us, and we say that in a good way. Riot Forge and Airship Syndicate has managed to create a solid RPG with a very complex combat system, with many variables to take into account, and with a brand...
But as it is, Hextech Mayhem is still a shockingly fun title to just kill an evening with. It's not long, it's barely challenging, but it is inherently enjoyable, and in my eyes that is a huge win for one of the first spinoff titles coming from Riot's publishing division...
In short, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is an excellent game. Where prequels often have been a sure mark of creative bankruptcy in storytelling, and the same, to a certain degree, has been the case with open world game design, this is certainly not the case here. Instead, story, mechanics and...
Juggling all game mechanical aspects towards the end is a test. I got stressed in a way I had not been in a long time thanks to this game. Handling technology, building, attacks, different biomes with different challenges, natural disasters all contribute to you always having something to do. When...
All in all, Bright Memory: Infinite is quite a conflicting one for me, because in places it's very impressive: The visuals and gunplay is genuinely fantastic. But at the same time, it's seriously let down in a lot of other places, mainly the weird and difficult to follow narrative, the...
It feels boring to be the grumpy guy here, but it can not be helped. To release something called "Definitive Edition", charge £60 for something this lackluster and buggy, is embarrassing and Rockstar should definitely know better. Instead, a dedicated 100-man team should have been set aside here, which for...
EA sure took a gamble when stripping out the campaign and adopting a pure multiplayer focus, but it appears that things have paid off for the most part. Each of Battlefield 2042s three pillars feels engaging and unique, and they will hopefully be expanded upon in the future through this...
With all of this being said, I did really enjoy my time with Epic Chef. This is a title that is largely fun and unique and will likely resonate with the life-sim fanbase. It isn't perfect, but it has plenty of depth and variety that keeps it fresh, even if...
Yet with these minor issues on the side, if Jurassic World Evolution 2 has done anything, it has consolidated Frontier as one of the best, if not the pinnacle of developers when it comes to the simulation genre. This game is fun, largely well-made, and is rarely disappointing, but at...
But why does my offence not work? These are the things that make this game so interesting. Trying to solve these issues. To make a small club a threat in the best leagues. Or to continue to dominate with a big club. The choice is yours. Football Manager 2022 certainly...
You'll still have plenty of great things to dig into before that though, as Call of Duty: Vanguard delivers more of what we want while improvements like destructible environments that enhance both the single-player campaign, multiplayer and Zombies without doing anything ground-breaking. The story is engaging with an fascinating plot...
