Iron Harvest
A well thought out real-time strategy game that has been able to capture the feeling of a post-war dieselpunk reality, sometimes hampered by gameplay mechanics and pacing issues. King Art Games has put out great strategy games that, with some more budget and time, could’ve been one of the all-time...
The customisation does go pretty in depth in terms of the sheer volume of it. Characters just have colour palette swaps, but cars go a little further with body kit modifications as well as colour options. It helps add re-playability and depth to what would otherwise be a pretty shallow...
Despite a rocky reveal Marvel’s Avengers is a fun, and gorgeous game that is a blast to play both solo and with friends. Featuring a campaign with emotional heft and multiplayer that is built to last, it is an easy recommendation for any fan of either the genre or the...
Spiritfarer is a game where death is treated differently than in many other games, which makes this game unique. We’ve been killing people and things in video games for so long, that we’ve stopped to wonder what actually happens after that. In Spiritfarer we learn this, in a colourful and...
There’s more than enough content here to keep younger gamers busy and even older gamers nostalgic for the genre will enjoy what’s on offer. The caveat being that the game has no difficulty settings and more seasoned gamers might find it a touch easy. But I feel the game is...
Tell Me Why
All in all Tell Me Why is a nice 9 hour journey in a new world that’s able to keep you entertained and engaged. And if you want, you can try out different story branches by making other choices. But if you don’t like DontNod games, you should think twice...
Wasteland 3
Wasteland 3 shines with clear dedication to crafting the best game its genre has ever seen. Excellent visuals are matched by top notch voice work and some of the best and most natural writing I have seen in a video game not made by Naughty Dog. The combat is a...
Battletoads
When it was all said and done, Battletoads isn’t going to win awards for writing, doesn’t set a new bar for any single genre, and none of their mini games should be spun off into full fledged games. Yet Dlala created something fun here, kept me engaged and offered a...
There’s an enormous amount of enjoyment to be had in just exploring, and that speaks to me in a way not a lot of games have over the years. Cruising at 30,000 feet with the hum of the engine, the rattle of turbulence and the world below me, available in...
West of Dead
The art is in learning enemy patterns, hazards and a weapon combination that suits your play style. For those who also like the extra thrill of the challenge, there are lost souls throughout the game that give you their “burden”. This burden is effectively an insta-death curse than can only...
Maneater
As the shark becomes bigger and stronger with its mutations getting wackier by the hour, the scale of the battles also drastically increases, with the final area in the sea even offering missions where players will be facing several sharks at the same time, and of course the bombastic final...
What is currently in the game is extremely fun, easily one of the most accessible and engaging action RPGs of the generation. The mixture of Minecraft aesthetics and fast-paced ARPG tropes creates a familiar yet unique formula that can satisfy purists and newcomers alike, both in solo and co-op. The...
