Mick Fraser's Reviews
In spite of some iffy dialogue, The Land Beneath Us remains incredibly addictive throughout.
Bungie absolutely needed to stick the landing with The Final Shape, and by all accounts they've done just that.
Despite a few minor issues, Nine Sols has a compelling, addictive and highly explorable world, and a slick, responsive combat system.
Blockbuster Inc. requires a lot from you, but has the potential to give even more back if you invest the time to master the art of the masterpiece.
Splodey is a fun, novel little title that definitely has the potential to be addictive when you get on a winning streak.
Hypercharge: Unboxed is an excellent multiplayer shooter. It plays extremely well, runs smoothly, and offers plenty of fun and challenge for groups of friends.
Once you've unlocked a good selection of weapons, finishers, and special attacks, Astor: Blade of the Monolith becomes a pretty enjoyable affair.
Best in short doses and played at maximum risk, Bootleg Steamer is at least fairly unique among the indie releases of the last few years.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PC is a superb port of one of the PS5's best exclusives.
In a year that's slowly being dominated by indie releases, Songs of Conquest from Lavapotion is a stand-out hit.
Galacticare is a simple, imaginative management sim with a lot of personality. And really, what more do you need?
Die by the Blade has a few good ideas in its sheathe, but ultimately it fails to generate any genuine excitement.
If you're into the survival crafting genre, action RPGs, or vampires in general, V Rising is an absolute blast, alone or with others.
It's hard to deny Fabledom's innate charm. It's an incredibly likable game, easy to understand and simple to get hooked on.
There's a lot to do in Biomutant on Nintendo Switch, and if you can get past the shoddy appearance, there's a decent open world game in here.
It might not always blow you away with originality, but Solo Leveling: ARISE is still a pretty enjoyable and involving adventure on PC.
It feels incredible to play and looks like it’ll be a bigger, deeper, more personal adventure, and I can’t wait to see how deep Melinoe’s quest takes her.
Another Crab's Treasure is a game full of ideas, and one that deserves to put indie developer Aggro Crab well and truly on the map.
There's a hell of a lot going on in Stellar Blade, but it remains a surprisingly elegant and exciting adventure throughout.
Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom remains a worthy addition to the main game and a solid, if less exciting, successor to the Awakened King.
