Even if you don’t consider yourself a fan of the genre, I beg you to give the game a try, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’ve finished the multiple times, and can’t help but grab the nearest person available to me to come join in with me. Their reaction is...
Overall, all the best aspects of Earthlock can be summed up in its music: hints of the ethereal, the playful and the deeply engrossing, with more profoundly moving melodies each time you listen. Earthlock is not a grand AAA release with next gen graphics, nor is it a strikingly original concept: it has rough...
Regardless of the licensing issue, there are no two ways about it in my mind; Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is the best football game currently available. This is the beautiful game in its greatest digital form, oozing gameplay from every sweaty pore. If someone wants to pass on the experience because...
I don’t mean to sound like I hated Oceanhorn, because I didn’t. It’s a completely fine and competent game that may satisfying someone who is less discerning or has some time to kill with it. However, if you’re a fan of Zelda or action RPGs in general, you can do...
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness somehow manages to be an easy and hard recommendation at the same time. The story, characters and theme that worked so well in the first season of the anime return and are in top form. The antagonist might very well be the best in the entire franchise. Any...
Aside from the game structure’s latent repetitiveness and unimpressive visuals that hardly make use of the PS4’s grunt, God Eater 2: Rage Burst is a fairly enjoyable romp. It has some other issues that can grate at times, such as an unwieldy camera and controls that can seem convoluted, but...
Strike Vector EX pulled on a lot of nostalgic heartstrings for me, and it was a refreshing experience. The gameplay is amazingly tight and controllable, and the combat is hectic and fun. The heavy rock soundtrack fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. This remaster of the old Strike Vector...

Is this is a game for everyone? Honestly, probably not. Video games are subjective but I believe that stands even more due to the subjectivity of music. How often has a friend pitched the absolutely perfect album for your particular tastes? “That song that will definitely become your favourite thing ever.” It just doesn’t happen. Well,...
Graphically, King Oddball is nothing to write home about – it looks like a mobile game – but visuals aren’t what this game is about, so they are a minor concern. I do want to mention the music though, because while it seems nice at first, as the game goes on...
So, to summarise Resident Evil 4 on the Xbox One: the controls are as awkward as ever, the camera is still pretty dire, and the graphics are a marginal improvement over the previous generations’ port job. But, it doesn’t matter. This is Resident Evil 4 on yet another format which means...
On the game’s Steam page, the writer welcomes you to Metrico+. They also hope that you’ve got what it takes to beat it. I, unfortunately, don’t, I think. But, to be honest, I’m really not that bothered. If you really want a challenge, try putting a Fredde workstation together without...
Ray Gigant seems like a work in progress; it needs definition. The biggest thing I took away from it is that it can’t decide what sort of game it wants to be. Even though the aesthetics are gorgeous and the innovative battle system is exciting, it seems like the game was created...
