So what are we left with? The Taken King is still my favorite game to hate. God, how I hate it sometimes. In its current state if you have never played Destiny before it is more than worth the £45 investment to pick everything up and jump right in. For...
Finally we’re faced with a conclusion, albeit predictable, which leaves us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, ending the game with an “aww” rather than an “ugh”. Leo’s Fortune doesn’t bring anything new to the table, but what it does do is take the best of platformers and polish them like...
Nobunaga’s Ambition: The Sphere of Influence plays it straight, but fair, offering you the right level of politicking versus crushing military battles and financing, but its learning curve leads to a slow start. Really, in the current climate with XCOM 2 on the horizon, Civilization as popular as ever and newcomers...
Dropsy
Overall, Dropsy is funny and uplifting (for the most part) and it’s surprisingly challenging, while bringing an immersive experience and innovative gameplay. It does have some pitfalls like its hazy narrative and high frustration factor, but it’s great for those who enjoy an unorthodox adventure and for only £6.29 on Steam,...
This game has gotten a lot of negative shtick in the press and I think we need to be reminded – it’s a game for kids – so it’s going to be cheesy and laughably American in a sense. During my first experience I wasn’t very impressed with it but...
Despite its downfalls, Tearaway Unfolded is a fantastic platformer that any fan of the genre should check out. Its gorgeous visuals go a long way into making the janky controls forgivable, and the delightful character designs, excellent storytelling and unforgettable soundtrack all add up to one very pleasant platform experience that PlayStation...
Well I’d better baguette-ing on to a conclusion, so to wrap up, I Am Bread gets a wholegrain-hearted recommendation – it’s definitely the upper crust of comedy action adventure games. Don’t be scared to give it a rye, if there was one thing to bake away from this review it’s...
Overall, Forza 6 is currently the best racing game available on Xbox One, warts and all. Running at 1080p with noticeably improved visuals over Forza 5, all the while maintaining a solid 60fps, the actual racing is smooth, responsive and engaging, just like it should be. Yes, the career mode...
I would happily recommend CounterSpy to anyone, regardless of their preferred game genres. The simple mechanics are welcoming to casual gamers, and the harder difficulty means that hardcore gamers can enjoy that struggle they seem to crave. Coupled with the fantastic visuals and high replayability factor, it’s got plenty to...
Xeodrifter is very much a game to kill the time. Depending on how good you are at action-adventure platformers, it’s a rather short game, but worth the money. If the game wasn’t so stingy when it comes to health pick-ups and checkpoints, I could easily recommend it to a much...
Overall, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse is a good game that’s worthy of any point and click fan’s time. It never quite manages to reach the heady highs of Broken Sword 1 or 2, but it is undoubtedly better than the third and fourth entries in the series. With its...
But these negative points are barely even minor blemishes to what is otherwise an incredibly well accomplished open world experience. In terms of value for money, Mad Max offers upwards of 50 hours’ worth of content, and you can’t get more bang for your buck than that. The sheer breadth...
