Adrenaline-pumping experiences is what The Crew 2 is all about, and while cars can provide them I’ve found that nothing beats piloting a plane through a dense forest. Though you might find that racing F1 cars on an actual track or throwing a monster truck around a halfpipe is more...
Yet at the end of the day, NieR: Automata was never defined by its technical issues. Instead, it’s a game that feels uniquely stylised by those that made it. In the same way that an Ingmar Bergman film feels unmistakably his, or how a Hideo Kojima game is filled with...
If you don’t mind that its career mode doesn’t really have much pizzazz, MXGP Pro will provide you with many hours of dirty racing activity. As usual, its supporting range of modes don’t do a great deal to excite, but its new training options are a great way to get...
Dontnod didn’t necessarily need to make The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, but I’m really glad that it did. The role of Chris in Life is Strange 2 can only be speculated, but if he turns out to be an important figure than this short title gives us a more...
Figment isn’t very long – it took me perhaps three or four hours to reach the end – but for every moment, it kept me fixated and enchanted. Even the brief moments where I was frustrated by combat or a particularly troublesome puzzle, the game’s charm always won out. If...
Whether or not Super Bomberman R succeeds in reviving one of gaming’s previously much-loved franchises remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure, if you’ve ever been fond of strategically dropping bombs to flummox your opponents, it’s a winner. Visually it has charm, and its soundtrack teeters on...
Even without online play though, Lumines Remastered is a great value for money package that’s not to be missed. Its rewarding gameplay is bolstered by its attractive visual presentation. And each and every one of its music tracks will have you tapping a foot on the floor as you play....
Old-school dungeon crawlers aren’t all that common these days, so The Lost Child made for a refreshing experience. A little more depth – and better balanced difficulty – in the combat wouldn’t have gone amiss, though. But even as it is, The Lost Child is worth picking up. Whether its age-old tale...
Slime-San‘s brilliance perhaps boils down to one fact: its controls are faultless. The fluid motion, pun not intended, of jumping in between obstacles at just the right moment feels as good as any enemy encounter in Bloodborne or headshot in Halo. And beyond that, Slime-San: Superslime Edition goes the extra mile...
Overall, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a mixed package. While its character roster feels anaemic, its gameplay entertains in all the right ways. The hub in which you find yourself every time you play the game is a bore, but otherwise the game’s audio and visuals are colourful and lively....
Jurassic World Evolution may not be the deepest management sim ever, but it embraces its subject matter with gusto. I defy you not to gawp in wonder as your first carnivore emerges into the daylight or feel a tweak of pride as your park income hits the $5,000,000 mark. Claw...
When everything comes together though, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a really fun game. Playing it felt like a mix between watching an over-the-top anime and playing an advanced match-three puzzle game. The voice acting in itself was enough to keep me going back to it, let alone...
