Smoke & Mirrors isn’t quite as good as the superb Faith and is a little shorter, which is a kick in the flying monkey nuts after how long it took to turn up, but it’s still an excellent and enjoyable adventure full of intrigue, surprise and emotion. If Telltale keep...
Loadout
The focus on unique weaponry and customization at the moment provides Loadout with a degree of compulsive appeal. But without Annihilation mode, it’s debatable whether there is any long-term depth on offer here. Loadout is fun to play in short bursts and you can usually afford a significant upgrade to...
Jazzpunk
Nevertheless, if you like the sound of a strange Naked Gun/Monty Python-inspired robot-filled adventure/exploration game jam-packed with laughs you should get Jazzpunk as soon as possible. In some ways a more freeform version of those old children’s CD-ROM games where you’d click on parts of a picture and something amusing...
Perhaps this is greatest compliment I can pay Liberation. This game restored my faith. Ubisoft can still produce a good Assassin’s Creed game. It’s a shame this wasn’t the big release instead of Connor’s outing. Aveline’s a more interesting main character, and the story is much more personal, instead of...
Still, Octodad is three hours of fun I wouldn’t want to throw back. While it is too short an experience it’s a great, unique one and I urge anyone who likes fun games to give it a go. Anyone who played Surgeon Simulator and thought it was hilarious should immediately...
Blackguards
If you’re looking for an interactive board game with role-playing elements, a ton of stats and moderately interesting writing you could do a lot worse than Blackguards. If you’re looking for a proper RPG, look elsewhere. Throw some turn-based combat and XP into Memoria and it’d be more of a...
These caveats are not minor ones, and it’s important that people don’t rush into buying the game from blind nostalgia without some idea of its not inconsiderable technical deficiencies. However, I still enjoyed my time with the game, no matter how gleefully it tried to stop me doing so. This...
Despite the flaws and interruptions of the story and presentation, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a superior title. Platinum Game’s genius for creating thrilling action games and simple to learn, yet difficult to master combat systems is in full effect here. If you’re a fan of the Metal Gear franchise...
The Banner Saga
If you don’t mind a tough experience and a little frustration The Banner Saga is well worth picking up as it’s a unique experience, and both story and animation justify a purchase. However the game’s flaws mean it may annoy more than delight, and while decently sized at around 15...
These points aside, the first episode of Broken Sword 5 is a lot of fun and a welcome return to form for the series. That mid-way split is annoying and despite Revolution’s best efforts isn’t really justified, leaving Episode 1 as just half a game, and some adventurers may be...
World of Warplanes
The thing that stops World of Warplanes from fully taking off may be that it falls into a middle ground that fails to adequately cater to the two groups that will play it. Those who fully appreciate the fast-paced, arcade action may not be fully appreciative of the attention to...
