Peter Taylor's Reviews
XCOM 2 is a tour de force of the tactical turn-based shooter genre. The game can be relentless and its AI unyielding, but this just makes you want to go back in for more!
Playsport Games has created a game which is straightforward and simple which all the while belies a deep and complicated management simulation.
The lack of improvements in key areas are a worry but FHM3 is a solid if reserved update to the franchise.
There's little to fault here and that's because SI Games takes the iterative approach. Whilst there hasn't been a big shift on the game's workings since tactical sliders were removed in FM 2014 each version is a step forward.
Super Dungeon Bros isn't an awful game but it does itself no favours at the same time. If you manage to convince three friends to pick it up it can be fun, otherwise you may find yourself disappointed.
If you've never set foot in the world of Skyrim then now's the time to get your feet wet. Still one of the best RPGs to date and that's not just nostalgia talking.
HoPiKo is a cheap and cheerful game and while if you play too much of it you may end up with an RSI, nailing that level was worth it, right?
It's not an instant classic nor is a complete misstep and while it feels like the series is nearing it's end Dead Rising 4 is a fun and entertaining entry.
Overall Don Bradman ‘17 is an improvement over its predecessor, especially visually.
The tower defence-style twist to RTS is fun but it gets old, fast, much like the rest of Siegecraft Commander.
When compared with its inspiration, LIMBO, it falls drastically which makes recommending it difficult - especially given its current, buggy, state.
Whilst it's held back by irritating music and the lack of a stash, Pixel Heroes is still an enjoyable wee game.
A strong story coupled with well-written characters is brought down by cringeworthy romancing. Angels With Scaly Wings is a rather enjoyable yarn irrespective of your ability to woo dragons.
A straightforward puzzler that borders on the fiendish as you progress. If that's your thing then iO will definitely be in your wheelhouse.
I Am Setsuna is a wonderful game which, while bittersweet, is told beautifully. It fits the Nintendo Switch wonderfully and is a great example of what the console is aiming to achieve.
Two out of the three games are fun to play and can help you pass a few minutes of your time. It's not built for longevity but even so, it will most likely become a forgotten game of your collection once you've completed the games a few times.
If you missed playing Bulletstorm when it was originally released the Full Clip Edition is the definitive way to play one of the Xbox 360's more under appreciated titles. Not to mention it's stupid, stupid fun!
Some missing features, specifically the ability to speed up time, holds Cities: Skylines back but it's still a competent city builder.
Despite its issues, Prey is an enjoyable first-person shooter which begs you to explore its wonderfully crafted and at times awe-inspiring world.
Seasons After Falls tries so very hard but falls short of being truly excellent. The repetitive puzzles hinder things enough that, if you're like me, you'll end up playing in small doses.
