I had zero bugs or issues with the game on console or PC. No crashes, glitches, or really anything, though as always your mileage may vary. Outside of some late-game difficulty spikes my main issue is the lack of replayability. Once you’ve cleared the map out there didn’t seem to...
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is an instant classic. Full of reverie for the series it takes it to new heights with a damned near-perfect mix of action platforming goodness. It’s the best type of Metroidvania. One that knows how to pace out the power-ups and I hope this...
It’s short, beautiful, has solid writing and voice acting, and a thoroughly creepy atmosphere. There isn’t much music, I think the game’s entire soundtrack is a single song that’s a few minutes long. Most of the time you will be hearing the creaks and groans of the ship, occasionally intermingled...
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora puts a bow on an incredible 2023 for PC and console players. It’s the best type of Ubisoft open-world title. One with a focus on fun gameplay, excellent storytelling, and respect for your time. It is perhaps the best-looking game I’ve ever seen. A delight for...
SteamWorld Build is a city-builder with heart that successfully mixes various genres. It is also accessible to players who don’t put hundreds of hours into Cities Skylines and for players who have played many games in the genre it is a cute palate cleanser that can be played through in...
Pinball M
Concluding all that, Pinball M inherits all the best aspects of what is already the mechanically and technically best pinball game on the market, turning it into a standalone experience focusing only on the mature-themed tables that probably could not be included in the previous games for ESRB/PEGI/etc. ratings getting...
The voice acting is fine, let down by god awful writing. Quip after quip after quip and none of them land. It’s never funny, but I could feel the talent of the people behind it doing their best to make it so. I didn’t run into any real bugs, because...
“I love this game, I love how this did it, I love how it turned out, I loved the ‘ventures and my brother is really annoying, he was shouting at me but this was my first time and I never played a game on the big TV. I was really...
I’m not too big a fan of how much was stripped away in Ninja Storm’s Connections History mode, but it still does a good job of picking the right moments to sum up for Naruto-noobies while still offering fun fights alongside Boruto’s extra story. Ninja Storm fans will know what...
All in all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) is, at its best, a safe and minimal upgrade over last year’s episode and, at its worst, a visibly rushed, somewhat poorly designed, and unbalanced collection of game modes. Sure, it builds upon the excellent technical and mechanical background from...
Speaking of which, you’ll die quite a few times during the witching hour sections. These sections are short, trial-and-error sequences that’ll test your ability to scavenge and not get hit. Honestly, these sections were not my favourite. They’re not difficult and the game provides plenty of extra material and save...
