On the surface, F1 24 doesn't seem to be all that different from last year's game.
If you can work around the resource supply issue… this is indeed a nice chill little game. It's not overly deep or taxing… but it's kind of nice watching your little town grow into a thriving city and the little fairy tale elements here or there just add another bit of charm to it all. It's not terribly expensive but it's not a huge game either so it's about the right point (but if you're not sure, just wait for a sale). Certainly worth a look if you want a city builder that's a bit less stressful and has some mild fantasy elements.
For the most part, Crown Wars: The Black Knight is a disappointing addition for a genre crying out for quality entries.
Wizardry Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlock is a fun walk down memory lane which successfully brings the original game in its entirety with updated graphics and slightly tweaked gameplay. Given that, this is not a remake of Wizardry but rather a remaster. Definitely for the gamer who is seeking that old school atmosphere without the old school graphics.
One Rabbit hole you'll want to take a trip down.
A brilliant sequel that's bound to be doing the rounds come awards season.
Mullet Madjack is a challenging, creative, and wonderful first person shooter homage to the 1990s that truly is something different. Every level is fun to tackle, with another bit of craziness always just lurking around the corner. Be prepared for unforgiving difficulty and literal restarts.
A solid console port for an absolute masterclass in how to remake a classic.
This all probably sounds a lot like Two Point at this point, and while I don't think it's entirely fair to say that Galacticare is just Two Point Hospital in space, it isn't that far from the truth. I don't think that's a bad thing either.
A creative merge of survival simulation, turn-based combat and tactical RPG.
Ultimately, if you’re a fan of the management simulation aspects of Wartales or like the mercantile lifestyle path especially, the tavern management gameplay systems that this expansion introduces may be for you. Highly recommended.
A great one day player for the busy gamer. A story that is captivating and enthralling with a unique ending.
If you're undecided, go out and check the demo out for Stellar Blade but if you're seeking a challenging yet rewarding third person action game, this title hits the mark and more than likely Game of the Year!
A fantastic combination of horror, combat and puzzle solving elements, Withering Rooms is one nightmare that you may not wish to wake from!
Alan Wake II is the reincarnation of art in video games.
Minishoot' Adventures is a standout that combines the best elements of two beloved genres into a cohesive and engaging experience. With its dynamic gameplay, stunning visuals, and wealth of content, it's no surprise that Minishoot' has the potential to be one of the top games of the year in 2024. Whether you're a fan of Bullet Hell shooters, The Legend of Zelda, or simply enjoy well-crafted games, Minishoot' Adventures is a must-play experience that shouldn't be missed.
Children of the Sun is a dark, wonderfully innovative take on the now-cliched outpost clearing of many open-world games. It's incredibly satisfying when a plan all comes together and cultist after cultist falls to a perfectly executed series of meticulously aimed shots.
In the hustle and bustle of the modern world, House Flipper 2 teaches us to find solace in the mundane. Familiar and accessible, it's as cosy as the renovated houses of its namesake, Neat freaks and creative types both can find a little peace in this calm and satisfying simulator, be it in helping someone with the aftermath of a raccoon breaking into their bungalow, breathing new life into an unloved beachfront holiday home, or just putting up a table or two. And while it's a little rough around the edges in places, the developers make their roadmap transparent, involving their players every step of the way. I'd suggest trying this one out even if you think you may not enjoy it – much as I was, you may end up surprised.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a great, new entry into the stealth action genre. At around 6 hours to complete the story it doesn't outstay its welcome. I didn't get anywhere near all of the collectibles or upgrades on my initial run-through, and there are three endings to unlock, so there's plenty of replay value.
Frontier brings their most in-depth building sim to consoles, wart(hog)s and all.
