Episode 4 is another terrific addition to Agent 47’s latest. After a less spectacular stay in Marrakesh and a fairly limited detour in the Summer Bonus Episode, Bangkok provides another terrific level for further murderous possibilities, and one I can’t wait to revisit as more targets make their unfortunate lodgings...

The “it’s not a game” crowd will invariably struggle to see the appeal with Abzû’s monumentally relaxed pacing, but they will arguably be the ones missing out here. An absolutely resplendent experience that is thoroughly and generously stuffed with memorable moments, Abzû’s beguiling audiovisual presentation lends it an atmosphere and...
Human: Fall Flat might concern the adventures of a floppy limbed chap who ambles about the place, solving puzzles and whatnot but the game itself does anything but, instead raising the bar for a genre that so desperately needed a game to champion its cause and not another half-baked experiment...
While lackluster combat and simplistic puzzles would prove a damning criticism for most games of this type, Headlander’s tone and aesthetic is so fully-realized that the whole package manages to be a groovy, retro delight.
Setsuna is a good game and that’s really the problem, it’s just good. The games intention of being a love letter the to JRPG’s of yesteryear have kept the game void of any originality and spark. The game is stuck in the shadow of those games, playing it far too...
In all the game works mechanically well but lacks innovation and plays it too safe. The oversimplified gameplay mixed with lacklustre combat make for a game that plays well but leaves you with the disappointing notion of what could have been.
Despite the hit-and-miss history of the franchise, Umbrella Corps is the first time I ever regretted uttering the phrase “sure, I’ll review that Resident Evil game”. It fails as a Resident Evil game so hard Capcom took the name out, and it fails as a multiplayer game so hard it...
Normally when a reviewer says “if you liked the previous game in the series, you’ll like this” it’s a compliment. With The Technomancer, it’s a threat. Spiders has simply made a slightly nicer looking version of Mars: War Logs. This including frustrating combat where Attacks don’t seem to connect and...
Though not significantly difficult from its predecessor and prone to bouts of repetition, Space Run Galaxy remains a wholly refreshing take on the tower defence genre. Indeed, the focus that Space Run Galaxy places on speed and immediacy makes for a furious effort that is as challenging as it is...
Mighty No. 9 went through a tough development and was rightfully scrutinized but it’s a challenging game with great controls. The graphics could be better and the framerate doesn’t stay at 60 but those problems don’t ultimately hurt the game. What hurts Mighty No. 9 is that it’s not Mega...
The Little Ones might not expand the initial remit of This War of Mine in any real sort of groundbreaking fashion but it does meaningfully and cleverly build upon the moral and emotional scenarios that the base game does so well. A recommended expansion for fans of the original.
What makes Heart of Iron IV work is the fact that although it’s moulded around just ten years of history, it offers so much historical background and variable outcomes, and as such packs a mightier punch than might be at first expected. It’s complicated - overly so at times -...
