If value for money is a big deal to you, then you really can’t go wrong with the amount of content crammed into Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess. If you were a fan of Blood Ties, then the extra content in this follow up is bound to satisfy. It offers something original that...
A slow and bleak adventure, The Fall has a lot to offer those in need of a more cerebral experience. With its striking visual style and quality voice acting it draws you into a mysterious, albeit short tale, which is bound to satisfy should you have the patience to deal...
Easily the best aspect of this game is the euphoric joy you feel when you find something new, whether it’s a kaleidoscope-style colour show, a gateway to a different dimension, or simply a funny sound. That said, the lack of narrative can leave you feeling aimless after some time, which may...
Overall, Whispering Willows is worth a go, especially for those who enjoy a slow, story-driven adventure. Despite its ease and short gameplay time, Whispering Willows has a good story to tell. The emphasis on puzzle and exploration coupled with the 2D side-scrolling presentation is reminiscent of traditional adventure games of the 90s;...
With Shadow Warrior available for around £10 now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox, and frequently even less than that on PC, I can’t recommend this title enough. Providing you with a campaign that takes around 15 hours to complete plus multiple difficulties, collectibles and a Survival mode to further extend...
For those who enjoy a challenging puzzle game that requires a good amount of thinking, then 0rbitalis is worth checking out. However, for the more casual gamer, the lack of any real instruction or tutorial coupled with the heavy reliance of trial and error may quickly become irritating. That said, the...

If you come into this game looking for a fleshed out story and interesting characters you might be disappointed. It’s very much about you, the enemies and moving through the stages. The story provides a nice background for what is, at its heart, a very mechanically-driven game. Ronin doesn’t pull any...
While the story is solid in and of itself, it doesn’t mesh very well with the open questing system. This in no way disparages the quality of the story, only the sporadic way it is experienced when playing the game. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an engaging adventure into...
One of the best remasters of recent memory, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition certainly does not disappoint. Access Games has gone far beyond the call of duty by not only delivering updated visuals while maintaining the game’s fluidity, but by also adding a wealth of content that breathes new...
While Batman: Arkham Knight has its fair share of issues, such as the slightly disappointing implementation of the Batmobile, some dull side missions and the occasional glitch, what it does right makes it arguably the best entry in the franchise yet. Rocksteady has successfully crafted a believable Gotham, providing hours of...
Overall, whilst Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is not perfect, it’s a unique title that offers an unparalleled co-op experience. It’s not short on content either, with a vast amount of jobs to complete across numerous difficulty levels that cleverly modify the objectives and enemy waves within them rather than just...
Overall, if you’re a fan of the LEGO games, you’ll not be disappointed with LEGO Jurassic World. Whilst the volume of glitches encountered do hinder the experience somewhat, it doesn’t detract too much from the enjoyment on offer. Yes, it’s rather repetitive and formulaic, so if you’ve already tired of...
