Anthem
At this point in time, Anthem feels like a title that needs more work. I want to like it, but damn does it make it hard. Like the games that came before it in this genre, I’ve no doubt that Anthem will get better and bulkier with updates over time,...
Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight is a real gem, and for its cheap price it offers a bite just as big as its bark. Combat is exhilarating and highly addictive, and upgrading is simple yet impactful. Sadly, it does feel like it’s missing a story element, or a real reason to want...
So, if you’re into skateboarding games or even just games that offer short skill-based challenges that you can dip into occasionally, OlliOlli: Switch Stance comes highly recommended. This Switch port of both games doesn’t really offer anything new for those who have played either title to death before, but those...
Despite its disappointing combat system and its missed opportunity for providing a more engaging story, Thea: The Awakening still manages to be a riveting game that’ll keep you hooked for hours. There’s a lot to the adventuring component, and the challenges are fun. Don’t expect much hand-holding, but expect the challenge to...
Steins;Gate didn’t exactly need a redo, but that doesn’t mean that fans of the original won’t absolutely love Steins;Gate Elite. The new scenes are great, if you don’t miss the stills that is, the ease of play is nice for those that aren’t a fan of complicated puzzles or stressful...
If it wasn’t for Jump Force‘s highly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable combat, the game would be a disaster. But Jump Force is a fighting game, and so everything about it that’s turgid and unnecessary can largely be avoided or overlooked. It’s got a large roster of fighters, plenty of content, and...
Equally intriguing is that, travelling through seasons and countries, you’re the interloper. You’re not protecting your home; you’re stepping into the lives of others, for better or worse. The game doesn’t shy away from reminding you of this fact; one of the most sobering moments for me was having an...
A single playthrough of Conarium will take just under five hours unless you find yourself well and truly stuck on one of the game’s many puzzles. After that, there’s not much reason to go back unless you want to find all the collectables the game offers. There are multiple endings, too,...
But those are very small niggles that barely dent the excellent experience that WarGroove offers. It’s a game certainly worth its asking price, there’s no question of that. It packs in a challenging campaign, brought to life with characters that are hard not to love, but it’s the level editor...
Ultimately then, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is a beautiful-looking game that tells a charming story, but its gameplay is just lacking. You’re likely to fly through it in less than five hours even if certain sections cause you trouble, and there’s little reason to go back – ...
Despite its initial allure, The Mage’s Tale just didn’t connect with me in the long run. PSVR has some incredibly high notes, and some pretty low lows, and this game sits comfortably in the middle. It doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, and its shortcomings are somewhat tied to the shortcomings...
If you’re a fan of point and click games, you will not be disappointed with what The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 has to offer you. With a staggering 25-30 hours of gameplay, fully voiced characters, excellent soundtrack, great visuals and incessant hilarity (that may or may not warrant the...
