There’s not many video games that treat war with the respect its participants deserve. Metal Gear is too preachy and ham-fisted while Call of Duty & Medal of Honour are bombastic dude-fests disinterested in reality. Valiant Hearts, by using the war as a backdrop and avoiding too much direct conflict,...
Enemy Front
I wanted to like Enemy Front since despite my crack about Wolfenstein: The New Order at the beginning there is a gap in the market for a proper serious World War Two FPS that isn’t predominantly about sniping (Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 3 is out soon too). Unfortunately Enemy Front isn’t...
WildStar
Upon each level-up you’re rewarded with a guitar lick and over-the top heavy metal logo smashing into the screen, which is a bit more satisfying than the traditional ‘ding’.
The Fall
So, will I continue to The FallEpisode 2? Only if Over The Moon fix the critical and aggravating flaws with the game. The story and writing was excellent and once I finally got used to all the poor design decisions I found out that the game was actually quite fun....
A Story About My Uncle
Unfortunately, the last quarter of A Story About My Uncle does become a little too repetitive, and slightly overly obscure grapple set pieces require blind luck more often than skill. That said, this is still a great adventure - one which will return you to childhood fantasy, and one which...
Murdered: Soul Suspect
Overall, Murdered: Soul Suspect is an enjoyable but simplistic mystery adventure which, although it features a well-detailed game world and well-written plot, is far too short for its own good. It’s a game which I’d recommend to fans of this genre, but only at sale price.
Among the Sleep
Krillbite get a lot of things right in Among The Sleep. Their use of graphics, sound and level design to build tension and create a creepy atmosphere is second to none, and I was genuinely on the edge of my seat for almost all the time I spent playing. Unfortunately...
Despite the acting, music, and graphics teams doing their bang-up jobs, and the storyline taking some interesting turns toward an epic finale, Episode 4 of The Wolf Among Us was more than a little unsatisfying. Yes the writing’s great but there’s not enough content here, nor were there any choices...
I opened this review by talking about the dangers of going into a project knowing you intend it to be part of a larger whole - in this instance, a trilogy. After playing Van Helsing II, Neocore games have another problem on their hands after this - not that they...
Small nitpicks aside, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fantastic game. It’s exactly the kind of FPS I want to play and are far too rare these last few dark years: a single-player-orientated shooter packed with fun battles and imaginative level design that is worth exploring in. To top it...
Watch Dogs
Although reluctant to make comparisons with the Grand Theft Auto series, the fact that Watch Dogs doesn’t quite match the same free roaming open-world standard quickly becomes an obvious elephant in the room. Ubisoft Montreal should certainly be applauded for trying something new within the bounds of the genre -...
