XCOM 2
So is XCOM 2 a good game? Yes, it is. The core gameplay is solid and provides a good backdrop for the drama of random numbers. It captures the suspense of wondering what the aliens will cook up next or what’s in that facility and should be praised for that....
Adr1ft
Adr1ft‘s PC debut was delayed from a 2015 release to coincide with the launch of the Oculus Rift VR headset and features full Occulus Rift support. As I don’t have access to a Rift headset, I played the standard edition of the game and, while I had a lot of...
If you can forget about Senran Kagura: Estival Versus’ unhealthy obsession with mammaries, then you’ve got a flawed but somewhat enjoyable game on your hands. Unremarkable in every way apart from its unique selling point, which is obviously its assortment of jiggling breasts, it’s certainly not going to appeal to...
Even with my lack of BlazBlue knowledge I found BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend to be a complex fighting game with beautiful character and level design. And its multiple game modes do not struggle to keep me thoroughly engaged. Gamers who are not as familiar or as interested in BlazBlue’s backstory will...
It’s probably safe to say that Catlateral Damage is a bit like Marmite: you’re either going to love it or hate it. If you’re a cat person, you’ll surely find several hours worth of novelty entertainment here, but otherwise you might just miss the point of the game. It’s not...
Overall then, The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition is a great action-RPG with only a few issues that bring it down a peg or two. Whilst the large number of gameplay features it throws at you with little explanation is initially bewildering, with one or two missing the...
12 is Better Than 6 is a creative take on the top-down shooter genre and, had it had more opportunities for me to run into a room guns blazing, it may have been my new favourite. The hand drawn art style is unlike anything I’ve seen before and I can’t...
In the end, The Count Lucanor is a great a game all around, and I will gladly be adding it to my list of favorite horror games. It took about six hours to play through, and features multiple endings which adds to its replayability. If you are looking for a...
Fans of the original really won’t need any sort of encouragement from me to go out and grab Day of the Tentacle Remastered (although, if you do, I’ll refer you to my closing sentence) – it’s basically exactly the same game you’ve probably played a hundred times but, if you want to,...
Despite its cruel difficulty, Spacejacked is a really fun and entertaining game that will probably have me crawling back to it in shame again and again. Its hilarious dialogue had me in stitches on more than one occasion, and the gravity suit mechanic really adds a creative element that I’ve...
Kholat
Kholat then, is certainly not a game for everyone, but it is still a mightily impressive achievement. The way it looks and sounds draws you in to an immersive and sometimes chilling excursion, and whilst the technical issues will sometimes do their best to kick you out of it, it...
I enjoyed this game hugely myself, but I couldn’t get my nine year old son to put it down! It really is a title that will appeal to all ages. I can’t help but recommend Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops to everyone, especially fans of the old Cannon Fodder games. The game...
