I enjoyed my time with Sundered, despite one major hiccup. During my initial playthrough I did suffer from a save glitch that wiped about 4 hours of gameplay. This has now been patched though, so you don’t have to worry about it affecting you.
There is a lot of content on offer here, but the uninspiring track layouts and imprecise controls led to me getting frustrated the faster I was expected to go and ultimately made completing the game a bit of a chore. It did grow on me, but ultimately it’s tough to recommend.
If you like the Overcooked formula and want more of a challenge I’d say this is well worth the purchase. If not, you won’t find anything new here to win you over.
I can’t recommend Hollow Knight enough. If you have even a passing interest in plaformers or Metroidvania’s this is up there with the best. It can seem overwhelming as, although I finished the main story and got one of the three endings there was still so much to see and do.
If you like games like Trials or Speedrunners this game will be right up your street. However, if you get easily frustrated by these types you won’t find anything new here to change your mind. I’m off for one more go. Gotta top those leaderboards…
I enjoyed it despite the short play time and as I said previously, achievement hunters will grab an easy 1000G here. It’s worth the fiver even if there were times that it showed it’s mobile roots. That’s not a bad thing though, it was light and breezy and a nice stress free game you can hammer through quickly. A nice little pallette cleanser if you will. It was good fun and worth a look.
Not every game needs to be all the sparkle and jazz. But sometimes I wonder who the target audience for these games are. The idea is sound in theory but not in practice. I don’t expect perfection every time and some of my favourite games look like they’ve been cheaply cobbled together but deliver gameplay and enjoyment in spades. This isn’t one of those games.
Between the bouts of frustration caused by the poor controls and enemy placement, I really struggled to enjoy Super Hyperactive Ninja. There is some enjoyment to be had here as it’s got a bit of fun about the entire premise but it feels poorly executed from the off. Do yourself a favour and pick up Celeste, Ori and the Blind Forest or Super Meat Boy and give this one a miss.
An emotional rollercoaster from the perspective of someone plagued with self loathing and doubt. A worrier who wonders not only why he is in this place but what he could have done to avoid it. Don’t dwell on the past, look to a better future and seek out the help you need. The world may seem big and scary sometimes but it’s what’s in our own heads that can be most terrifying.
I enjoyed it and if the multiplayer can get a bit busier there could be a decent little community. It’s never going to compete with the big boys, but what it does, it does well. It’s a nice alternative take on the racing genre with unique mechanics and I happily spent a good few hours getting through the campaign and doing some split screen racing with my flatmate. The price of entry may put some people off but it’s a fun little game that can provide a challenge at times.
Some gamers will love it, the majority will hate it. It’s challenging but very frustrating. It wears it’s colours with pride and doesn’t pretend to be anything game changing but it’s also not very fun. Bland levels, and uninspired enemy design can’t be saved by the simple to pick up, difficult to master gameplay so I find it hard to recommend.
Overall, it was a genuinely enjoyable experience, the story was well crafted and I wanted to keep playing long after I should have gone to bed. I’ll likely go back and see if I can uncover its final hidden mysteries and I highly recommend you go out and start your own journey now.
With it having recently won 5 BAFTAs it’s helping push gaming in a new direction. Gamers around the world want our hobby to become more than just go here and shoot that. In my opinion, Hellblade is something everyone should experience.
It’s a tidy little game overall. I liked the aesthetic and I’d say the music was forgettable but it sent me back to my youth. The game is fairly lengthy and reasonably challenging. It’s also very niche and a lot of people will miss out on a little nugget of history recreated here. Unfortunately it’s not perfect and the occasional poor signposting held up progress at times. If you want a taste of the 80s or a tough little platformer I recommend you have a look at Deep Ones
It feels wrong to have a go at Metropolis Lux Obscura though as it only costs £6.39/$7.99, but for the content that’s on offer it personally feels too costly. If you have a deep love for comic books, especially noir, and can get past the simplified gameplay you might find some enjoyment here. For most, this shallow experience won’t entertain you for long and ultimately you’ll be disappointed.
In my opinion, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is decent title marred by technical shortcomings. Warhorse are clearly a talented but inexperienced team who have a passion for their creation. I wouldn’t go so far as to recommend it to everyone, I’d maybe even suggest waiting for a drop in price. If you want to run around and just smash some guys whilst hunting for magical loot I’d avoid it.
