In conclusion, Beyond a Steel Sky will hold great appeal for fans of the original game. The artwork is impressive and the story is interesting but there are many drawn-out sections that can affect the pace of the game. There is a lot of questioning required that can become tiresome...
Overall Before We Leave is somewhat of a middle-of-the-road city builder with some lovely concepts and a relaxing vibe. It doesn’t nail everything it tries, but overall it’s an enjoyable experience. The non-combat approach could’ve been executed better at times, with more challenges thrown at the player. Meanwhile, the small...
While there’s no denying that the world has seemingly moved passed the stage of young kids playing with their action figures and instead has them playing video games on their parents Xboxes, HYPERCHARGE Unboxed does a fantastic job of making me feel like a kid in my bedroom, playing with...
I played through the game with my son, and for the parents out there reading this, it’s definitely suitable, and you can quite happily let your child just poke around with the tools on offer here. The game sadly doesn’t really cater for a full “build what you want” sandbox,...
Halo Infinite
The missions I’ve played so far have kicked off a big mystery, and right now, I have a lot of questions, and not a lot of answers. I’m loving the feel of being out on my own in this most wonderful of video game universes, the vistas and sounds of...
In conclusion, Exo One is not only a visually impressive achievement. It also uses haunting music and realistic environmental sounds to transport the player into its strange worlds. Handling of the craft is unusual but works very well once you get the hang of it. The story is not blatantly...
The lack of a campaign also hurts. Although not a big deal for a decent part of the fanbase, I did love to play through the campaign to get a nice feeling of the game before jumping into the online portion — plus, I cannot help but feel the game...
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is perhaps my favourite Frogwares title. By expanding and spacing out the objectives at the player’s leisure, it creates an open-ended feeling of choice that had me coming back. The writing and overall narrative was paced well and did not over indulge me with useless information,...
Unpacking is an incredibly accessible, meditative game revolving around room decoration and block-fitting puzzles. There is no pressure here and the only target is to make each environment a satisfying place for the main character to live. This may not be the type of game that you usually play but...

As it stands, Circuit Superstars is a really fun top-down racer that lands in a golden spot, halfway between pure arcade hilarity and a sim-like approach with fuel and tyre management to boot. The incredible amount of different cars and race styles is, however, is hampered by the limited amount...
Riders Republic is far from being the best game I have played in 2021, but it is probably the most fun I had this year. It takes the best of the golden age of extreme sports games and combines it all with a vast and vivid open world full of...
