Super Mario Maker 2 is a breath of fresh air. The story mode is fantastic, the online multiplayer additions are more than welcome and the new items and game modes are absolutely fantastic.
Saints Row IV
For those of you who are picking up the Australian copy of the game, rest assured that you are truly not missing out on anything. With all the hype and attention the Alien Narcotics mission received, it’s over in a flash and happens in the simulation. There is an argument...
Each of the game’s heroes offer up a different experience throughout the game’s four chapters. In one scene you might be digging underneath trenches to escape aerial bombardment, and then, as another character, you’ll be running bull true through a battlefield peppered by gunfire, propelled by blood lust. Valiant Hearts...
Forza Motorsport
One of the best things that Forza 5 Motorsport does is it’s use of the new Haptic feedback in the Xbox One controller. It really gives you an extra sense of control when you’re using your favourite car on the track. It adds another level of immersion and was one...
There is a huge amount of options to partake in, with hundreds of challenges ranging from destroying blocks in a certain time to fighting with certain options disabled, like the ability to jump. Old favourites all return, from Raiden to Liu Kang to Scorpion and Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage....
<img decoding="async" src="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/fruit-2-conc.png" alt=" fruit-2-conc" />Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is an incredibly fun game whether you're playing solo or with friends. It can proudly stand beside Dance Central: Spotlight and Fantasia: Music Evolved as one of the preeminent Kinect games out now. So if you've got a Kinect, don't pass...
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
One of the biggest changes to the gameplay of the franchise is the higher emphasis on combat, which to be fair is handled quite elegantly. Faith has quite an extensive move set when it comes to first person combat, which in many ways is as fluid as the actual traversal...
I suspect that people with fondness for the original Pac-Man World, or even just this specific era of platforming games will be the ones who get the most from RePac. It's a style of game that has been out of fashion for a while, but it's simplicity could still hold...
The PS4 version of Trackmania Turbo was primarily tested for the purpose of this review.
Gunbrella is a wonderful, quirky noir-punk shooter that, like the abominations confronting the hero gunman, is made up of what should be many discordant parts. Yet what we get is a lore-rich world with slick movement in its bedrock that’ll spawn an unlikely love of umbrellas not heard of since...
Avowed
Like The Outer Worlds before it, Avowed is Obsidian’s truncated spin on a well-worn genre—and a genre they’ve got plenty of experience in. For those eagerly awaiting the next Elder Scrolls, this is a satisfying scratching of that itch even if its role-playing elements are stripped back to make room...
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an immense and expansive middle chapter of this ambitious remake trilogy. A reimagined and redefined behemoth of a game that simultaneously plays on nostalgia and forces you to question your memories of the original. While it suffers from some rote open world elements and a...
