Transient
It’s been a fairy rough time for the survival horror genre. With the exception of a couple standouts, such as the latest entry in the Amnesia series, as well as Resident Evil 3‘s remake, this year surely hasn’t delivered the goods. Transient is a long-awaited horror title that takes heavy...
I heard a lot of comments after reviewing the Switch re-release of the first No More Heroes game. A lot of them could be summarised as “those things you’ve complained about, well, they have been fixed on the sequel, give that one a shot”. That alone was intriguing enough for...
I first had the chance to play Edelweiss and XSEED’s Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin back at E3 2019. I literally knew nothing about it prior to tackling it: it was a surprise announcement, a game I was going in fully blind… and had a great time with. I had...
So we are finally, FINALLY, talking about Bugsnax, that tiny independent game from Young Horses that was revealed during a PlayStation State of Play. The game with the theme song, by Kero Kero Bonito, that infected all our eardrums like a wild Strabby. The savior of Next-Gen, as lesser titles...
As you could see by reading my previous GoNNER2 review, I am starting to get fed up with indie roguelikes, as the market is currently saturated with way more titles than this genre needs right now. You have no idea how refreshing it is to play a simple, “go from...
With the recent Netflix continuation of The Karate Kid being all the rage right now, it was all but a matter of time before Cobra Kai got its own video game adaptation. The original movie had its own 2D action game back in the day on the NES, published by...
Torchlight III
Let me just get this out of the way first. Torchlight III is not the game we wanted it to be. It’s not a serious follow up to Torchlight II, and is behind its predecessor mechanically and design-wise in many ways. It began its life as a free-to-play spin-off called Torchlight:...
What happens when you take Genji from Overwatch, give him a parkour-esque movement scheme from Mirror’s Edge and put him into 3D, souped up version of the excellent 2D action platformer Katana Zero? You get Ghostrunner. An addictive hardcore action platformer where you die in one hit, but so do...
Dirt 5
Codemasters have earned my trust. Whatever they decide to come up with, I’m always going to look forward to playing it. They deserve this seal of approval after countless F1 games that just keep getting better and better, as well as other titles such as the criminally underappreciated gem that...
An XCOM–styled Transformers game has such promise. A large roster of bots, a hidden base to upgrade and customize, and a campaign against always invading Decepticons. A game like this could capture the feeling of the franchise better than most that have tried. Being perfectly fair, Transformers: Battlegrounds was never...
The first person hide and seek horror game genre has been a fast growing one ever since the release of Amnesia: Dark Descent. A transformative survival horror game that propelled the genre’s popularity, especially among streamers. Since 2010, the genre has seen an oversaturation with games trying to recapture the...
The original Watch Dogs was one of the first games I bought for the PS4 and the best thing I can say about it is that it was… mediocre. It was your typical Ubisoft open world game: devoid of fun side activities, with a nice setting yet underwhelming story, and...
