If you have the patience for it this can be a solid solo experience. It will test you though as many areas can take 20 or 30 minutes to clear on the higher difficulties where you can die in a second or two of attacks if you get caught off-guard....
There is so much more I could talk about, but if you’re willing to put in the time then going in spoiler-free is the way to go. There is great fun to be had in this game if you are patient enough. The story is good, most of the time...
When it comes time to make a possible narrative-altering choice, the game goes into a split-screen view of your possible decisions, reminiscent of the television show “24”. These “decision points” as I’ve dubbed them, can affect what actions our heroes take, how the characters interact with each other, and even...
In conclusion, Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a vastly different example of an adventure platformer. It can be played on both a superficial or a deeper meaning level and has a design aesthetic to marvel at. Although not the most complicated or difficult game to complete it will stay...
In closing, it feels good to have baseball back on Xbox again, because the core gameplay of MLB The Show 21 remains excellent. You’ll have a blast learning and mastering the mechanics, and once you get the hang of it, everything just clicks. Outside of the gameplay itself, the game...
Zombie Army 4 is a game I never gave a chance before Game Pass, and it really is a perfect game for the service. The base campaign is long and the potential to get you to purchase the season pass DLC means it should help the developers earn quite a...
As an adult, the silliness and humour had me smiling throughout, but if you’ve got kids, while they may not fully understand some of the references here, they will have an absolute blast going from level to level. Be it ruining someones special day, persecuting a weatherman, setting fire to...
In this crazy Game Pass driven world, while It Takes Two may not be available on the service (at release anyway), it is well worth paying full price for. The novel approach of allowing a friend to download a ‘friend’s pass’ meaning that only one of you has to actually...
Outriders
Outriders has some of the most enjoyable gameplay I can remember in quite some time. If you’re reading or watching this a few months down the line then hopefully the issues with aiming sensitivity have been worked out, because once that is fixed this will be one of the better...
El Hijo: A Wild West Tale is a challenging and fun stealth puzzle solving platform game produced by an indie developer with an obvious love for the Spaghetti Western genre. If this review strolled into your local saloon and piqued your interest, you will not be disappointed by what the...
For those of us who like a lot of ‘game’ in their video games, they may also be left wanting. This is more an experience, albeit and incredibly interactive one, with little hand holding or objectives given. In terms of gameplay though, there’s not much here. If you don’t think...
Curse of the Dead Gods is a solid title for fans of rogue-likes and dungeon crawlers. An excellent progression system is tied to a damned fun combat system. Retailing for only $20 US it is easy to recommend, and as it is a Focus Home Interactive game I wouldn’t be...
