The reality is if you’re looking for this kind of puzzle-action isometric fix, there’s not a shortage of games out there which can offer it. So presumably Lara herself is the lure, however, like I said before the story and characters were, for me, anything but a strong point. That...
Despite a multi-player mode that’s difficult to love and a pretty atrocious story, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare pleasantly surprised. It adds enough to the core of the game – the infantry action and gun-play – that the campaign never felt like a chore and none of the set pieces...
Inquisition is an excellent return to form after the claustrophobic, rushed Dragon Age 2, an exciting and sprawling colossus of a game that rewards the player at every turn. The first act is a little slow to get going, but once the story has its hooks in you and the...
But perhaps I’m being a bit of a sissy. After 18 missions of blood, blood, sweat, blood, and tears, I felt like I’d achieved something. I felt like someone should be presenting me with a medal. The war was won, but at the same time I couldn’t shake the feeling...
So; if you’re in it for the offline solo play, you’ll find an excellent game of football here that’s the best this series has served up in recent memory, with lots of different modes including the ever-present and devilishly addictive Master League. If you’ve got your heart set on competing...
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 is a terrific game, with a massive amount of fun content, satisfying gameplay, and unlike a certain other Ubisoft title out this month pretty damn polished. If you’re an FPS fan you won’t be disappointed and even if it’s your only game it’ll keep you occupied well...
The best word to describe Escape Dead Island is “cheap”. Certainly not cheap to buy, as I see it’s £34.99/$39.99 on Steam, but certainly cheaply and quickly made. The island of Narapela is quite small and painfully linear but the gameplay time is padded out by Fatshark forcing you to...
Never Alone is a beautiful game, full of fairy tale delight and educational knowledge. It isn’t as patronising as that might sound as it keeps the two well-separated enabling you to take or leave as much of the cultural content as you like. It struggles though with being a compelling...
If you can put up with the stuttering performance and some comically ridiculous bugs (my favourite was an assassination target moon-walking backwards into my confused assassin’s cavalry sabre) then there’s a decent Assassin’s Creed experience to be found in Unity. The fact that it’s never more than decent makes those...
Seriously DC fans, buy LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. It’s pure DC fan-service in game form. Yes it’s the same old LEGO gameplay and mechanics first pioneered in 2005, but it’s still very addictive. It’s all a lot of fun and never failed to put a smile on my face....
Chariot
With two players pushing and pulling the coffin of their own accord it’s redolent of a classic Chuckle Brothers sketch. It’s chaotic fun in a mould that’s largely disappeared since the advent of online gaming but has seen a revival of late with the likes of Towerfall: Ascension. Nevertheless, Chariot...
If you’re a fan of RPGs, you should really check the game out; the story is engaging and the characters are fun, but it’s the charming picture-book aesthetic and unique combat system that really make the difference. At a knockdown price with all the extra DLC included, there’s really no...
