Graphically, Ankake Spa designed a quite pleasing game here. Taking place in 2D and 3D levels, the backgrounds are picturesque and add a lot of depth and awe to the proceedings. The dungeons themselves are nothing to write home about, with a lot of repeated assets, but I never found...
For a newcomer, there won’t be much to enjoy in Mount & Blade: Warband‘s console release. Mainly, because of how divisive the game is by itself. If you can overcome the game’s obvious technical limitations and control problems though, you’ll find an impressive western role playing game that emulates the older, more...
The most important aspect of any walking simulator is that it has to be engaging. Good gameplay can carry awful stories sometimes, but walking simulators don’t have that luxury. With uninteresting story and characters, the desire to keep playing would be non-existent. The starkness of Dear Esther tows the line, but thankfully it manages...
Whatever your view on interactive movies as games, I urge you to give Virginia a try. Its developer has been brave in creating such a thought-provoking piece of entertainment that goes against the grain in many ways, and now it’s your turn to be brave and embrace it. You may...
Despite its technical issues though, Bioshock: The Collection brings together two of the best games of last gen with one really good, though ultimately inferior sequel. As a whole, the trilogy not only shows what games can do, but on a meta level, illustrates art and commerce intersecting in interesting ways....
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs, despite its ridiculous name, certainly has some redeeming elements. Its visual novel elements are certainly strong, thanks to interesting characters and an enjoyable story. Unfortunately, the obtuse dialogue mechanics and frustrating luck-based battle system are some pretty glaring issues. On top of that,...

And there is never a moment when Roughshot is not being bombarded by laser beams and space trash. It is literally one onslaught after another. Edge of your seat entertainment in bursts, but really exhausting after awhile. In about two hours, I saw the death screen more times than through...
If, however, you’ve got the patience to click through lengthy conversations between cringeworthy characters, the heart of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice almost makes up for it. For any fan of the typical point-and-click adventure, the evidence-hunting sections will satiate a need that very few games meet in this...
Livelock is a seriously good game. The initial bombardment of options are a little off-putting at first but if you’re able to look past them and get to the meat of the game, you’re set to be pleasantly surprised. Like any game of its type, it may become a little bit...
F1 2016 is an exceptional game. While there are a few minuscule issues with A.I, these happened so sparingly that they had little to no effect on how much I was enjoying the game. The career mode is the shining star of the whole package; it’s so good it’s hard...
Sky Force Anniversary is a great modern shmup that unfortunately pads its content by pushing players to the max. Not only that, but there are implementations, such as the specialties, that feel arbitrary. Detractions aside, I liked the game quite a bit and the addition of co-op and Remote Play...
I’ve had genuine MMO-like moments in Legion though – me and a Warrior from another server helping each other get to a boss mob for a world quest only to monumentally fail; similarly me and someone from the other faction used emotes to communicate to get to another boss mob...
