As such, it’s difficult to recommend Styx: Master of Shadows to all but the most hardcore shadow skulker when the many other games that have come before it have all done the whole stealth thing that much better.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a strong foray into the Tolkien universe, backed up by popular combat from other major action series, with its own free-running style to boot. The Nemisis system does keep things a little fresh even if after a while it’s illusion of orc and uruk society...
Gauntlet
Placing an explosive barrel next to a suspicious wall and blowing a hole in it, only to sweep in and steal all the gold before the other players can get it!
Endless Legend
Thankfully Endless Legend’s super-slick art style and creative world-building largely overcome the game’s flaws. It takes a while to get going; unlike the very best titles in its genre, it doesn’t present complex information to the player in a concise and understandable way, which means it can sometimes be a...
Wasteland 2
However. There’s a level of roughness here that I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed by after such a long development time. For every smartly written sequence with vibrant locations and characters, there’s an aimless fetch quest or an overlong combat section. Oddly enough, despite the content added in...
Flockers
Overall though I really enjoyed Flockers. The levels may get a little samey in look but are well designed and really tax the brain muscles, the challenge is just right and ramps up perfectly, the cuteness of the sheep is inarguable and the Steam Workshop support is just icing on...
The Sims 4
How does The Sims 4 measure in the grand scheme of things? It’s an excellent stepping stone for what could be moving forward, although this comes at the cost of numerous add-ons and expansions raiding our pockets. Sacrifices have been made in getting The Sims 4 to be as clean...
Dead Rising 3
Dead Rising 3 is a step forward for the series as it finally finds the confidence to expand its setting, which is mostly down to better hardware being available. Hopefully the focus going forward can be put on fleshing out more of its mechanics and not just creating larger areas,...
And as this is the last episode, what about The Walking Dead: Season Two itself? First of all the good news is that Telltale have still got it. Walkers may have replaced Sam & Max as the studio’s mascots but just like the Freelance Police they continue to bring out...
Shadowgate
If all the Shadowgate Kickstarter’s 3,468 backers just want a better-looking version of the 1987 game with nice audio and rejigged puzzles then I’m sure they’ll all be happy because it’s exactly that. Unfortunately having an interface cluttered with Verb Icons combined with such unintuitive nonsense as having to use...
Metro 2033 Redux
This is the finest available version of an excellent, atmospheric game. It’s still not perfect, but the Redux version irons out a significant number of weaknesses, adding some of Last Light’s improved mechanics while also providing a welcome layer of visual polish. If you’ve never experienced Metro 2033 before this...
Risen 3: Titan Lords
Despite still having a few issues Risen 3: Titan Lords is a vast improvement on Risen 2. The combat could be better but doesn’t cripple the game this time, the world is more interesting and easier to get around, and there’s tons of stuff to do. The story’s a bit...
