Necromunda simply does not reach the new standard that Doom (2016) set five years ago. It must be possible to measure a retro game with the possibilities of its time, regardless of which era it takes its inspiration from. Necromunda: Hired Gun thus does exactly the opposite of what a...
Chivalry 2 is a really fun game to dive into, but I can see its medieval setting and limited options becoming a little dull as the weeks from launch pass. This game is quite frankly what it says on the tin, and if you are not a fan of running...
But, these issues don't change my opinion that this is once again a great instalment into the Ratchet & Clank universe. The new features, the utilisation of the PS5 and the DualSense, and the new cast, including Rivet make me even more excited for the future of this franchise. Platforming...
CI Games continues to deliver on the fairly successful predecessor and for the most part they do it very well in terms of budget and resources. Graphically, there is no major update from the previous game, it is really nice in some places but not something that stands out in...
It might not offer too many new additions, but Asha in Monster World is still a competent remake that doesn't abandon the spirit of the original when making modern changes. The revamped visuals here are gorgeous and vibrant and I really appreciate little changes like being able to return to...
I don't inherently believe that King of Seas is a bad game. But, there are clear issues with what it offers. The pacing and grindy progression is abhorrent at times and makes it very challenging to stay engaged in what it offers. On the other hand, the world looks great,...
World's End Club is about twelve hours long and costs 40 euros on the Nintendo Switch. IOS users can play the adventure via Apple Arcade, which you'll pay 5 euros a month.
But, even with this negative, there's not a whole lot that I can say against Solasta: Crown of the Magister. This is a well-designed strategy experience that offers an approachable take on the iconic tabletop game of D&D, and whether you are a fan of D&D or not, the turn-based...
Even though its Switch port might be barren of many meaningful new additions, I would still recommend Miitopia for younger audiences and those who are new to the RPG genre. Its combat isn't punishing and is simple to grasp and there's so much fun to be had when customising every...
In short bursts, Just Die Already can deliver some dumb fun but its lasting appeal is limited. Finding new ways to dismember myself was hilarious at first, but this grew old (pun not intended) pretty quickly and it was not long before I had explored all it had to offer....
Ultimately, Clan O'Conall and the Crown of the Stag is a wonderful action platformer, which remains exciting to play until its conclusion. While its narrative is weak, it doesn't detract from its innovative character switching mechanic and its lovely hand-drawn art-style.
What I will say is that Biomutant absolutely outperformed my prejudicial expectations. This is a game that plays well, looks great, and is built in a world that I wouldn't mind returning to in the future. Yet, when I stack it up against the titans of RPGs that have debuted...
