Caveman Warriors isn’t so much a bad game then; it’s just one that’s a bit bland and exceedingly niche. While its wonderfully sharp 1080p visuals have their feet firmly grounded in the modern age, many of its gameplay foundations are rooted in prehistoric times. Maybe it’s meant to be that way...
If, however, you live, breathe and sleep Dishonored, with your limited edition Corvo mask on your bedside table, you’ll be in your element here. There are times when Death of the Outsider feels a little too familiar but, despite the game’s reuse of art assets, these moments are far and...
I have to admit, my first impressions of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite weren’t good. As I continued to play and got my head around its new systems though, it well and truly won me over. It may not be the prettiest fighting game on the market today, but it’s undoubtedly...
Released at a budget price of around £19.99, Baja: Edge of Control HD isn’t going to blow anyone away, but for racing game fans after some cheap off-road thrills it’s certainly worth considering. It’s got a decent rock-heavy soundtrack and its races are often full of thrills and spills, keeping...
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is an unfortunately lengthy adventure with some fantastic characters, an intriguing narrative, and a simple but enjoyable strategic battle system. However, some abysmal design choices – namely, a lack of balance between visual novel and battle sections and a horrendous amount of bland filler content –...
Tokyo Dark, with its chilling narrative, strong visual style and atmospheric soundtrack is one of the most enthralling point and click adventures I’ve experienced in a long while. The writing is on point, pacing is brisk, and while it feels fairly linear your choices frequently do have a genuine impact. It’s...
Ultimately, because of Reaching for Petals‘ short running time, it feels more like a tech demo than an actual, fully-formed video game experience. It’s more of a showcase of “just look what the Unreal Engine can do!” than anything else. I guess, being Blue Entropy Studios’ first game, in some ways...
As an introductory episode to a three-part series, Awake absolutely nails it. The action that takes place is pretty low-key — don’t run into Before the Storm expecting epic adventure sequences — but it’s a perfect return to Arcadia Bay. It focuses on the characters, and even though everything that happens here seems fairly...
Everybody’s Golf‘s lack of visual splendour shouldn’t put you off playing what is the most accessible and enjoyable golf game there is on the market though. Creating and developing your own comical golf avatar is wonderfully addictive, and while there are only five courses available, the vast array of gameplay...
Every new prison is a wonder to behold and a challenge to be conquered, the thrill and anticipation of success escalating as you tackle progressively tougher and more varied penitentiaries. It isn’t perfect, and frustration will rear its ugly head from time to time, but for all its quirks, The Escapists...
Temper your expectations and take on board that Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of a game that’s over 10 years years old and you’ll enjoy it for what it is – more of the same, only not quite as polished and with less to do on the side. Dive into it after...
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, then, is unsurprisingly another fantastic game from Naughty Dog, a developer whose pedigree only seems to grow stronger with each title. My scepticism over the lack of Nathan Drake was quickly proved wrong, as Chloe and Nadine make fantastic protagonists and a refreshing change to the series....
