Dead Island and Riptide are both fairly fun games that get repetitive through extended play sessions, lack a little personality, and are altogether awful in single-player. They have also been utterly eclipsed by Techland’s own wonderful Dying Light, which took the Dead Island idea and improved on every element. Nevertheless...
Hitman’s latest episode has some impressive moments, but Marrakesh feels limited compared to the sprawling, interconnected layouts of Paris and Sapienza. It’s part of an increasingly great game and still provides some solid stealth action, but don’t be surprised if you’re not coming back to this one for more than...
A turn-based tactical effort that manages to deftly marry cheeky style with small scale strategy, TASTEE Lethal Tactics might not be the most groundbreaking effort around but its charm and accessibility make for a compellingly fun prospect.
Overwatch
Overwatch is a fantastic game from top to bottom. The relatively small map selection does little to detract from a game where every character is fun, unique, and important, and every fight is a dynamic, constantly evolving game of battlefield control.
Battleborn ended up stretching itself too thin by trying to include too many modes. If Gearbox had focused on the competitive aspect of the game only, I’m sure Battleborn would’ve ended up being much better. The campaign adds nothing of value to the game but the multiplayer modes are worth...
If there’s anything bad to be said about Blood and Wine, it’s that the Witcher 3 is already such a giant, expansive game that even now, a year later, you probably haven’t explored everything it has to offer. CD Projekt has built a genuinely special game and spent a year...
Coming from the developers of Trine I expected a little more quality from Shadwen, the uninteresting environments echo the bland characters and gameplay that evolves too slowly. A level editor and mod support will give it some longevity and you might find some enjoyment from making a purely non-violent run...
Despite the shoddy graphics and performance, and a story that could use polish in its execution, Homefront: The Revolution has a solid foundation. It’s challenging and the mission variety in a pseudo open-world game is the best I’ve played in a while. It kept me engaged for its 22 hours....
Kathy Rain is a delightful little adventure game to add to the massive pile of fun adventure games released in the last couple of months. The puzzles are believable and interesting with some really clever computer hacking ones in there. The story is compelling and entertaining, and the characters are...
Nadeo have succeeded in turning people who normally wouldn’t care about breaking records on a track into drivers that do. Trackmania Turbo’s biggest strength comes from the restart button, located right on the front of the gamepad (or just above the directional keys if you are playing on a keyboard)....
Should you play N.E.R.O. Nothing Ever Remains Obscure? In short, yes. Although I don’t feel as though I connected with the game on the deep emotional level that the developer intended, you might and that could potentially provide you with a fantastic experience. It seems as though this game will...
Those gripes I’ve outlined are minor as Battlefleet Gothic: Armada conveys the suitably epic universe of Warhammer 40K in an RTS that offers decent depth and a great atmosphere. The campaign is great and if you allow the game to punish you for defeat it’ll bring more impact and consequence...
