Do not get me wrong: Madden NFL 22 is a good game for football fans, but it is also as good as it was three years ago. If you spend hundreds of hours playing the series every year, you should be happy with the (few) new additions and still get...
WRC 10
In short, Nacon’s WRC 10 improves on the already solid rallying formula of last year’s game, delivering a fun and exciting driving model, many cars and events across decades of the sport, and a very open-ended career mode. The general presentation remains fairly dated, however, and the lack of depth...
The Big Con
In conclusion, This is an unusual game with a unique visual appearance and gameplay that revolves around interacting with everyone that you come across. There are lots of nineties references, some comedy moments, and a serious story at the bottom of it all. Criminality has never been so much fun,...
Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge is one of my favorite indie games of the past generation. It has the feeling of being like Metroid but solidifying its own identity with unique gameplay ideas. The story kept me interested to a great extent and I am really curious to see what will happen in the sequel. While...
I will forever be confounded that this game exists as it does. With texture-work that would look at home PS2 and RPG mechanics that could go back even further it feels like a relic. There is nothing egregiously wrong with it, and if the battle system looks interesting to you,...
Psychonauts 2
Psychonauts 2 shines by delivering an absurd amount of creativity to the player. The story is filled with heart. The gameplay is smooth and fun. The character cast and the environments show incredible diversity throughout the entire experience. The next brain you’ll visit will always be more even more creative...
Rims Racing
RiMS Racing has a heart in the right place, wanting to offer a solid biking simulation that offers an in-depth look into every last piece of the bike and how they all come together on the asphalt. Unfortunately, an unimpressive driving model, various undercooked game features, and a severe lack...
This game is not a simple proposition, although it may look like a typical 3D platforming game at heart it is a technically complex and at times very challenging addition to the Metroidvania genre. If you are a fan of these types of games it is well worth checking out...
Twelve Minutes
It’s an incredible achievement for a solo developer, and thanks to its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass, something that plenty of players should at least try – you may find the performances, mystery and intrigue of this small urban apartment are some you just have to experience. Perhaps you can...
Xbox fans of strategic horde smashing will find a perfect home with Robot Entertainment’s latest game in the series. There are plenty of maps, challenges, and a variety of ways to defend your tower from the orcs. There are not any glaring flaws as far as the eye can see,...
At $20 US it is hard to recommend it over something like Hades which is only $5 more. There just isn’t that much to the game. After your first run, you’ve seen most of what it has to offer for each mode, even if you only lasted 5 minutes. It’s...
Greak: Memories of Azur could have been something special. Unfortunately, a large number of questionable design decisions pull down every positive aspect in a way the game simply cannot overcome. The core design of how you control your two to three characters is simply not enjoyable, but the quality is...
