Madden NFL 25
Madden Share is also a new feature that EA have added. You can now upload things such as customer sliders and play books with others online using Madden share. It really opens up your playing experience to see what other players have been using and it’s great to see that...
Destroy All Humans! makes an earnest effort to improve on every aspect of the original, but it’s hard to avoid the issues stemming from the era in which it came from. Despite it’s numerous improvements, Destroy All Humans is still plagued with banal repetition and tedium especially as the adventure...
On the plus side, I’d like to end the gameplay section on a positive note, memory remixing is hands down the BEST part of Remember Me, and if there is a sequel (which I sorely hope for), I would LOVE to see more memory remixing segments implemented. Sadly, there are...
Lords of the Fallen
Through this, I continuously found myself wanting to get back into the gameplay more and more, instead of reaching a point of satisfaction and leaving the game alone for a while. Where Dark Souls felt almost like an exercise in masochism, Lords of the Fallen felt akin to a playful...
Despite being heavily stylised the world feels alive and I was often totally immersed into the game. Obviously the sound design contributes greatly in this sense. Enemy design is exceptional, blending the tone and style of the game with its gameplay. Sound here plays an important role again, cueing enemy...
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider is the game i’ve been waiting for this generation. Everything about it is amazing and anybody with a 360, PS3 or PC needs to play it. If you’re new to the series then you’ll definitely have a blast with this reboot and if you’re a series veteran, you’ll...
NBA 2K14
Path to Greatness is by far the biggest addition to NBA 2k14. My Player returns and is just as good as ever. The new control scheme helps this out a ton but the content inside is largely the same as the past few years. This is great for newcomers to...
Evolve
The coolest thing about this game is the progression system for each character and Monster. Although it is very grindy in a game that has a seemingly hard learning curve for the first few hours, especially with new to game teammates and some that don’t like to communicate or choose...
Monochroma
Super Meat Boy and Limbo; these are games that reward a player through failure. Those games were not afraid to show the player what they did wrong, and what you needed to do to progress. Failure was due to the player’s faults and mistakes. The failures you encounter in Monochroma...
Olija
The product of a one man team, Olija is a tight and entertaining seafarer’s voyage that manages to be memorable despite not bringing anything particularly revolutionary to the table. Instead, it’s in the atmosphere and tone that Olija excels, proving that the deep blue sea isn’t full of just terrors.
Tekken 8 shows just how easy it is for a long-running franchise to remain fresh and relevant, while still offering a familiar experience to established fans. An engaging Story Mode coupled with Character Episodes keeps the narrative running, while Arcade Quest and Tekken Ball gives newcomers the opportunity to learn...
Evil Dead: The Game pays excellent tribute to most of the Evil Dead canon with great gusto. It looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and has a robust set of multiplayer options, that means the foundation is there for a game with great longevity. It remains to be seen whether Saber will support the...
