All in all, Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star makes for an entertaining hack and slash experience which feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch. It’s admittedly a little pricey at £49.99, but for those looking for some Dynasty Warriors style action, it fits the bill quite nicely, and those familiar...
Jump into I and Me expecting a fairly relaxing experience that doesn’t demand too much of your time, and I can imagine you’ll have some fun with it. Those expecting an unsuspecting challenge that’ll have you scratching your brain over any of the game’s 90 puzzles however, will be left...
Despite its minor issues, I had such a fun time playing Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! that it might actually convince me to give some other RPGs a try. Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! has awesome gameplay, great character creation, a catchy, old fashioned soundtrack and a thriving world full of...
The Darkside Detective is great for those, who like me, enjoy the intellectual silliness of creations like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace. It knows it’s daft every step of the way, it’s meant to be, but there’s a cleverness behind it all that’s charming and refreshing. And like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, I...
While I seem to have dwelled on quite a lot of negatives as I’ve written this review, Solstice Chronicles: MIA does have plenty to enjoy. Most of the gameplay is engaging, and when you’re using all its mechanics and systems as intended, it’s fun and gels well. It’s nice to look at;...
I really wasn’t expecting to be taken as much as I was with Infitite Minigolf. With its cutesy visuals, fun gameplay and strong editing features and customisation options, I couldn’t help but constantly smile and enjoy myself during my time with it. It certainly deserves a place among the best of...
Super Cloudbuilt‘s frenetic nature means it won’t be for everybody – it starts challenging and only gets harder from there – but for those who can keep up with its breakneck pace and conundrum-like levels, it’ll be addictive and utterly mesmerising. Completing a level for the first time is rewarding...
Pyre
I wouldn’t be surprised if we never see another game quite like Pyre, and that’s perfectly okay. Simply describing its spectacularly outlandish battle system doesn’t do it justice; upon playing it, it doesn’t take long to realise that it works – and that it works incredibly well. Pair that with...
I accept that Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles won’t be for everyone. The lack of any kind of conflict will instantly be a turn-off for some, and it’s a shame, because Yonder should be applauded for daring to do something a little different in creating a completely peaceful experience. Video games don’t have to...
Overall then, Cars 3: Driven to Win isn’t really a bad game. It can be fairly enjoyable in short bursts, especially in co-op. At the same time, however, it’s not what I’d call a good game either. It’s decidedly average, chock full of content and variety, but let down by...
Redout
I really love Redout. While it feels lacking in the multiplayer department, its extensive career mode more than makes up for it with its addictive, bite-sized races. The first time I played the game, I had to make a serious effort to stop; beating one event just made me want...
Of course, some players may admire Iron Crypticle for the nostalgic trip it so knowingly provides. It wears its heart on its sleeve, and those with a thirst for a challenge and the patience to deal with repetition will get on with it like a house on fire. Those that...
