Atomic Heart
Atomic Heart is a shooter with some fantastic ideas, excellent presentation, and a fair bit of variety. Although it doesn’t excel at any one thing and flatters to deceive at times, it still has enough to offer a compelling adventure.
Aware of its past yet looking towards the future, Company of Heroes 3 offers something for everyone. The dynamic map of Italy is a great experience, although it’s slightly marred by passive AI, abilities that don’t always work, small UI issues, and a gameplay loop that doesn’t encourage the use...
SpellForce: Conquest of Eo is a good reason to return to the universe, but it feels far less epic in scale when compared to the previous titles.
Deliver Us Mars offers a refreshing sci-fi adventure with an entertaining and emotional story at the forefront. It ups the scale from its predecessor and manages to reach for the stars relatively unscathed.
A pretty funny romp that never quite finds its speed both as a shooter and as a comedic story. It’s unlikely you’ll be bored with High on Life.
The Callisto Protocol is one of the year’s biggest letdowns. It is joyless, contrived and feels unfinished, as if the studio rushed it out prior to Dead Space Remake’s launch on January 27, 2023. Like Black Iron itself, I can’t help but feel the project was abandoned at some point....
Blacktail
Blacktail isn’t going for revolutionary status, and most of the things it does do are slight by comparison to the hitmakers of the genres it inhabits, but as a package, it’s a delightfully dark fairy tale-infused adventure that keeps you invested throughout.
In a month or five or twelve, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide may reach the state it should have launched in. In a month or five or twelve, it may become a co-op game that’s easy to recommend. But while I undoubtedly had fun during the missions I completed over 40+ hours...
Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is very much a superior sequel in so many ways. It’s still a bit of a brick wall to get past in terms of understanding its finer points, but keep hammering away and you will find them.
Evil West’s old-school sensibilities aren’t what drag it down, although its linear levels might not appeal to everyone. Its combat feels glorious when it clicks, but the studio’s latest third-person shooter struggles to find its stride, resulting in a fun but rather unremarkable adventure.
Pentiment
Obsidian has a fantastic history of ambitious RPG titles, but none feel as confident and refined as Pentiment. This is a game that truly understands the intoxicating nature of choice in video games, and rewards you with cynical torment befitting the world it portrays.
Against The Storm is simply one of the best city-builders in years.
