Perhaps even worse is that Lost Sphear doesn’t have much to say, other than how remembering our past is just as important as enjoying the present. I love Tokyo RPG Factory’s admiration of the past, but Lost Sphear offers little for both longtime fans of the genre and casual passersby....
Tesla vs. Lovecraft is a wonderful and creative twin-stick shooter that manages to stand out from the crowd in what is something of an oversaturated genre. Despite the small reservation I have with the game’s initial difficulty level, everything else — its art style, sountrack, gameplay and overall atmosphere —...
I fell in love with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory after just a couple of hours, and I’ve found it hard to put down since. It’s very easy to get sucked into the futuristic universe and connect with the characters — even the really weird ones. Despite the...
The Inpatient is simultaneously a familiar yet new experience. Playing off the wonderful formula of Until Dawn, but polishing whatever rust was there, it succeeds in nearly every task it sets out to do. It is chilling without being cheesy. Horrifying without being overt. Disturbing without being grotesque. I absolutely...
Overall, Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is incredibly satisfying. With so many Persona-clones these days, Xanadu impressively nails it. Thanks to the game’s strong focus on characters, I fell in love with the cast like I was watching a season of a great anime. With a great soundtrack that had me tapping my foot...
I wouldn’t say I disliked Gorogoa. It’s definitely an impressive piece of work. Considering it’s been designed and illustrated by just one man, Jason Roberts, it’s very clearly an amazing feat. It’s been a labour of love for several years, and the care and dedication put into it clearly shows. It takes...
The Switch’s library of games goes from strength to strength, but Floor Kids stands out for all the right reasons. There’s nothing else quite like it on Switch – in terms of presentation nor gameplay. If you’re a fan of music rhythm games, Floor Kids sits alongside the likes of Voez...
If you’re a fan of The Surge and you’re fine with the idea of A Walk in the Park only taking up a few hours of your time, I’d say jump into it. It may be quite short but it’s enjoyable every step of the way, and there’s plenty of...
Coming in at £24.99/$29.99 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, many will consider Steep: Road to the Olympics’ price to be a bit, well… steep. The truth is though, is that for those who jump into it feet first it’s easily worth the price. Being able to hurtle down...
All in all then, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is perhaps both the best and worst LEGO game available on Xbox One. The formula is getting a bit old now, and I really hope that TT Games is planning to change things up a little for future LEGO releases, but...
It’s always difficult to come at classic games from a completely fresh angle. If you’ve played them before you’ll probably have fond childhood memories of them. If you’ve never played them, you might still find them fun, but it’s unlikely you’ll get quite as much fulfilment from them. There’s no...
Being primarily a console gamer, I’ve no doubt that I’ll play way more Sims 4 now that I have it on Xbox One. The slightly awkward controls are a small price to pay for the luxury of being able to play while lounging. If you’ve never played The Sims before, the console version isn’t...
