Despite this minor inconvenience though, Manual Samuel remains a must-have on Nintendo Switch, especially if you’ve not already played it. From its brilliant visuals to its utterly unique gameplay, there’s little here that disappoints. It’s a game that you’ll return to time and time again just for the sheer hell...
If you’re a fan of the point-and-click genre, Unavowed should definitely be on your radar. At £11/$15, it is well worth the price – especially considering there’s multiple endings and multiple origin stories to play through. When it all comes together, Unavowed is practically flawless. In fact, no other point-and-click...
So, the PC port of Monster Hunter World isn’t perfect. But despite its flaws, no other game compares to the thrill and sheer wonderment that beating a monster in a perfectly co-ordinated group can bring. In its purest essence, Monster Hunter World is simply about killing monsters to make better...
Madden NFL 19 is more of an evolution than a revolution then, but what else did anyone expect? It’s a refinement of last year’s effort with further graphical prowess, more fluidity and a sprinkling of new features. It’s just a shame that its Longshot Homecoming mode is such a let-down....
But despite all of its problems, there’s just something about Flipping Death that wins you over. The combination of puzzles and platforming is a winning one, especially when served with lashings of humour. Expanding upon the mechanics first introduced in Stick it to the Man, there’s nothing else quite like...
We Happy Few would have been better served as linear narrative game. Its open world sections and fetch quests don’t completely sink the game, but they’re filler at best. Ultimately, it still manages to entertain, nails its sixties style and tells a compelling story with the odd dash of very...
Since its release in 2016, there hasn’t been a party I’ve gone to where I haven’t suggested we dust off Overcooked. Now that Overcooked 2 is released, I can’t wait to play this version with all my friends. Players will recognise its familiar chefs and recipes, but are sure to...
Dead Cells is such an easy game to recommend. It’s a game that oozes charm out of every pore. A game that is challenging but does a good job of easing you in. And a game that is simply a joy to play because of its fluidity and the range...
If Code of Princess EX‘s combat was just a little bit better, it’d be quite a solid game. I actually like the idea of an RPG without the exploration bits, but such a game desperately needs to place more emphasis on engaging and enjoyable combat, which here, is severely lacking....
With all that said though, The Council: Episode 3 – Ripples offers another fascinating look into this alternative history 18th century. New plot twists are carefully added, and the narrative continues to get darker and more sinister. It makes a few duff choices, making it perhaps the weakest of the...
So, whether or not you should buy Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 really depends on how much of a Mega Man fan you are. If you love the Blue Bomber then you’ll probably want to jump in with both feet; it offers eight games that will challenge...
Taking between five and six hours to complete the main story, Pirates of the Enchiridion isn’t the longest game you’re going to play this year. It’s not even the most original, or most engaging. But it has charm, fun, and character in droves. If you’re looking for something a little...
