Ronin
With a little more refinement, Ronin could easily have been an enjoyable romp. It certainly looked the part and in the initial stages was a slick action platformer, but by the time the game reaches its conclusion, there’s little motivation to continue. It may be short, but finishing Ronin feels...
Batman: Arkham Knight
Batman: Arkham Knight is bigger and bolder than its predecessors, but it’s not better. The plot has some good twists and the exploration of Batman’s character is well done, but overall it doesn’t draw you in like the events of Asylum and City. I couldn’t help but feel something was...
We didn’t review the original release of Payday 2 – which is part of the reason why we are scoring this Crimewave Edition – but even then, this was a game with a lot of depth and variety to the scenarios it put you in, and that’s great fun to...
LEGO Jurassic World strikes an excellent balance between delivering a nostalgic take on a beloved series of movies, whilst incorporating the brand new Jurassic World storyline as well. By allowing you to choose your jumping in point it also frees you up to experience them in your own order, and...
With new and original ideas in very short supply, it’s hard to recommend Operation Abyss to anyone who doesn’t usually invest in offbeat Japanese roleplaying games. Yes, it may have all the essentials, but this is far from being a tour de force, feeling more like a flashy RPG Maker...
By nature, Steins;Gate isn’t the kind of game you can dip into for a minute here and there and expect instant gratification. It’s a visual novel and although played out on-screen, still requires the same level of dedication and focus as any other page-turner. For that reason we’d highly recommend...
Although it hits the marks in several key areas, there’s no shying away from the fact that Magicka 2 can feel monotonous in parts. This may be eradicated (in part) when playing with friends locally or online, but not everyone will have that same privilege. There’s an overriding focus here...
HNU is a good game. It won’t bring anyone into the genre who doesn’t already enjoy the gameplay and it likely won’t sell anyone on an anime aesthetic that isn’t already there. If you’re a fan of musuo combat and witty humour, and you don’t mind some repetition when getting...
The only problem I had during my time with the game came after I’d used the Xbox One’s sleep function. After restarting the game I had lost my progress through about five levels, including my entries in the time-trial leaderboards, though there’s every possibility that this was due to the...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is easily one of the most engrossing games I’ve had the chance to play. The story and characters are well worth the experience alone, and the world expertly draws on the desire to explore with its massive scale. You never know what will greet you...
Omega Quintet is a competent role-playing game that builds on Compile Heart’s previous successes. The combat system works well and there’s an absolute glut of content for those willing to stray from the beaten path. That said, it’s not a particularly stunning game to watch, looking more like a remaster...
Ultimately Color Guardians is a bright, cutesy, challenging runner with some good ideas that falls through when it comes to keeping it interesting. Restarting from checkpoints over and over only getting a little bit closer to the end each time quickly grows repetitive, draining any drive there might have been to...
