If you’re still on the fence about this absolutely terrific game, let me add that at $19.99 USD on Steam, it’s more than a worthy bang for your buck. If you like to immerse yourself in tough but rewarding puzzles, pick up Nelly Cootalot. If you want to step into...
The development team, Hopoo Games, consists only of two people and a sound designer. That’s a team of three, two of which are definitely students. A group of three people, including at least two students, can produce what I deem as a practically infallible game. I just wanted to highlight that fact...
Despite Salt and Sanctuary‘s issues, it remains an enjoyable and rather addictive adventure overall. The fusion of solid platforming, engaging combat and deep character development creates an experience that feels somewhat fresh despite its roots in tried and tested genres, which is quite an achievement. Fans of its clear inspirations, Dark Souls and Castlevania, will...
As previously mentioned, The Banner Saga 2 is an ideal game for game-as-art deniers and an effective bridge for older generations who don’t quite understand the medium. It is unabashedly slow and beautiful, with a lot of strong storytelling elements to ease people into the unfamiliar interactivity integral to games,...
Overall then, MXGP2 is a good game, but it’s not going to blow you away. The fantastic range of options and gameplay modes available means that there’s plenty here to get stuck into to, and it’s definitely enjoyable, but you’ll never feel overwhelmingly impressed; an issue not helped by the...
Overall, Capcom were just too ambitious with Resident Evil 6, and unfortunately this port doesn’t really do anything to address any of its glaring issues. As such, it truly is a wasted opportunity to restore fans’ faith in the series as it continues forwards. Despite it all however, if you...
It’s not all bad though. Republique tries to do something different, and although the story doesn’t feel fleshed out enough to be completely engrossing, it’s still got a few hooks to keep you playing; eager to find out more about Hope and her strange surroundings. Fans of stealth will likely forgive the...
Don’t be fooled by its colourful exterior; Stikbold! is capable of being a harsh and unforgiving game. For me, the difficulty level shot up out of nowhere when, at one point, I found myself playing against a whale and a bunch of activists. To be quite honest, that’s one of the few...
It should be pretty obvious that if you’re a fan of Nitroplus and the things they create then you’ll get the most out of Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel. Either way though, it’s by no means an essential fighting game. Whilst the combat is indeed enjoyable and quite fresh thanks...
I’m already itching to get back into the Gungeon. Even if it’s occasionally frustrating, it’s still an addictive, rewarding experience. Polished gameplay and accessibility make way for fun, frantic and stylish firefights, whilst the classes add variety and cater to different playstyles. It’s a game that feels great to play...
As Michonne’s story continues, it is easy to see how much thought the writers put into this portion of her storyline. Despite this being a brand new story not directly related to The Walking Dead comic books, Telltale does a fantastic job of making it fit realistically among the rest...
All in all, Moon Hunters is a short, engaging game, innovative in its approach to replay value, with each subsequent playthrough increasing in depth and pleasure. But is it worth your time? It really depends on what you are looking for; those craving the usual high-strung brawls and firefights will...
