Heist has five difficulty levels to choose from which is probably for the best as its difficulty can spike furiously from mission to mission, especially in boss encounters. Higher difficulties offer a penalty to the water you’ve collected for failing or aborting a mission but offer an increase to XP...

Despite my gripes with UnEpic, it’s hard to not be charmed by it. With its lengthy adventure full of action, character development and humour, its positives more than outweigh its negatives, creating a highly engrossing and enjoyable experience for the most part. Additionally, whilst its visuals are basic and generic,...
To sum Lovely Planet up is difficult. It’s certainly an interesting experience, but I’m just not quite sure how much I enjoyed it. The cute Japanese-themed world is certainly a big departure from any other game out there on the Xbox One right now, and its originality is definitely a...
On the whole, Starpoint Gemini 2 is a great game for players seeking a nice cerebral experience that they can take at their own pace. Travelling between planets and space stations, conducting your business wherever you see fit, is a nice and relaxing affair due to the pretty scenery and...
Overall, Dirt Rally is undoubtedly the finest rally game currently available, and is a worthy successor to the Colin McRae Rally series. Going back to basics has allowed Codemasters to create a tight experience which awards those that put in the effort with moments of excitingly edgy rally driving action,...
You could argue that the gameplay is a little bit generic and samey, but that’s probably to be expected with a game of this type. Despite the few niggles, Super Toy Cars is a pretty solid and enjoyable game that will certainly appeal to fans of the genre, although others might want...
Creator Toby Fox said that he was influenced by a number of different franchises whilst developing Undertale, along with the silliness of internet culture. Regardless of these influences, he’s managed to create a game that’s already a classic. There’s quite simply, nothing like it. Fox has thrown his own sense of humour...
For some of you obsessive accountancy types out there this will be a dream come true as there’s plenty of busy work like optimising trade routes and maximising your mining yields. For the rest of us, Elite: Dangerous will let you finally become The Last Starfighter for a few hours before you fail...
Overall then, Baseball Riot is more of the same from 10tons Ltd, only this time with added frustration and a whiff of staleness. Hardcore fans of their previous games will undoubtedly find some entertainment, but they’d be blinkered if they didn’t see Baseball Riot’s shortcomings, especially with regards to its...
Yes, there are issues. It would be nice to be able to play this game offline; it would be nice to have the extra planets added before they released the game; and yes, I worry that essential features will be added to the game in the future and they will...
Bigger, better and bolder; the only possibly negative thing I can say about Rise of the Tomb Raider is that it doesn’t exactly break any new ground. As an evolution rather than a revolution; it follows on perfectly from 2013’s Tomb Raider, and just like that game, it borrows themes and ideas from...
Maybe one day well get the dinosaur game that we deserve; one with cutting edge graphics, amazing sound and tense yet engaging gameplay. Until that day, you may find yourself having limited fun with Primal Carnage: Extinction, but I can’t recommend it. With its unbalanced gameplay, bland graphics, awkward dinosaur...
