Cities XXL represents a serviceable starting point for beginners certainly, but is simply far too riddled with bugs, performance issues and recycled content to recommend to anyone else who has sampled the series previously. Much like how Cities XXL encourages the player to build their sprawling domains from the ground...
Look, I understand if you’re reticent after Rome 2. After that game’s frankly unacceptable launch it felt like Creative Assembly would never learn the lesson that jaw-dropping cinematic spectacle and scale is no good if your game is undermined at its very foundations. With Total War: Attila, they have got...
I’m pretty sure this won’t appeal to a lot of people. It can be bone-crushingly hard at times and difficult to get into. But by giving you the tools to craft your own escape and leaving you alone to sort it out, The Escapists is one of those classic hands-off...
I’m sort of embarrassed to say that I really like this game, but I tore through it in one sitting and felt better off for having done so; I feel like I need to load up an FPS and run around with the biggest gun I can find for a...
The biggest problem Grey Goo has is that it’s far too hard for what it is, which is a fun Command and Conquer-style RTS. I’ve played lots of this type of RTS and I’ve rarely encountered one with such a non-existent learning curve - you either know everything immediately or...
Grim Fandango really is a masterpiece, although it’s not a completely perfect one. The story, world, voice acting, music, script and style are some of the best gaming has to offer, rivalling the best animated movies. The puzzles are 80% superb, best the adventure genre can do, and 20% frustrating...
Coming so soon after the first entry Blackguards 2 is a surprisingly packed improvement over the original, giving you the chance to dominate and rule over South Aventuria with all the bitterness and rage such a task would need. It won’t suit all newcomers to PC TRPGs and yes, battles...
All of this almost feels like a shame because visually Citizens of Earth looks fantastic. It captures the pseudo-retro SNES aesthetic it works ever so hard to achieve, ever so well. Given the lacklustreous nature of the characters, the voice acting is also surprisingly intuitive. But overall there is just...
While some things might just appear a reskin of the super power stuff Volition has done already in Saints Row IV, the presentation of it all and how it wraps up together in Hell gives it a pass. Make no mistake this isn’t a full blown adventure but a ‘just...
I find it interesting that 2002 Capcom completely remade a beloved title so it felt like a new game, whereas 2015 Capcom just re-releases a 13-year-old remake with a controls, widescreen and texture patch. Nevertheless despite being aged in the voice-acting, aiming, and not-telling-you-anything-you-need-to-remember departments Resident Evil is still a...
There really isn’t any need for you to buy Warhammer Quest. If you liked the videogame versions of Hero Quest or Space Hulk then you’ll find it hugely underwhelming. If you liked the iOS version then you already own it. And if you like the board game I suggest sticking...
If none of that sounds like your cup of Earl Grey and you just love 3D puzzle games then The Talos Principle will be worth the price of entry as you can ignore most of the musings on offer here. But I feel you’d be missing out on what makes...
