Aug 10, 2020

Either way, it's a tough sell, but the reward for effort and perseverance is a good one, the bigger question: how committed are you?.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is as advertised above, a brooding yet charming affair that brings the collector in us along for a colourful ride through a kingdom gone foldingly mad.

8 / 10.0 - West of Dead
Jul 8, 2020

West of Dead isn’t without its standoff moments of frustration, but a squint of the eye and a sweat-bead zero-flinch will see you standing tall post-Purgatory call out.

7.8 / 10.0 - Beyond Blue
Jun 18, 2020

We've seen how this can be implemented with <b>Ubisoft</b>'s brilliant &#x201C;Discovery Tour&#x201D; mode for both Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey -- an interactive journey through history; fact and myth alike, where you control the information available to you, and dive in as deep as <i>you</i> like.

So being shackled to deviceless divulgence of the game's key drivers will be a challenge indeed, but it's one we're willing to take given The Last of Us Part II is arguably one of the year's biggest releases, and stands as something of a swansong for the <b>PlayStation 4</b> as we sit ready to slide into the next generation.

9 / 10.0 - Wildfire
May 27, 2020

Still, the aforementioned optimism saw Sneaky Bastards pushing forward, culminating in a successful <b>Kickstarter</b> campaign, eventually landing a publisher in <b>Humble Games</b> and finally getting Wildfire into the hands of the witchtastic punter.

7.9 / 10.0 - Maneater
May 22, 2020

The whole thing is amplified through its presentation, which takes cues from <b>Shark Week</b> documentaries, <b>Deadliest Catch</b> and <b>Dirty Jobs</b> (as described to us by the devs themselves), only in hyper satirical form, lead by narrator <b>Chris Parnell</b> (<b>Archer</b>, <b>Rick and Morty</b>) in what is meant to be a *sort of* episodic docuseries format.

And it's accompanied by a chill-beat collection of tracks perfectly befitting the setup.

8.5 / 10.0 - Fury Unleashed
May 6, 2020

Fury Unleashed is a fantastic distraction title that may have released in the right real-world window while we all struggle with the staying at home setup of 2020. It’s also an easy game to just pick up and play with mechanics easy enough to master, but packed with a layer of challenge that is subtle and rewarding.

The <b>Combine</b> structures contrast against the old-<b>Europe</b> buildings to showcase the alien occupation without ever needing to say it out loud.

You won’t be disappointed in any way shape or form with this as a complete product.

Unfortunately the novelty wears off far too quickly and you're left with a shame pile title likely to keep collecting dust, unless you're really in to Katy from HR.

Literal moves you performed as War in the original game are transferred to perfection here -- Darksiders Genesis is simply <b>Honey I Shrunk the Horseman</b>, but that's okay.

This Holiday season you honestly couldn’t get a better family-fun game to play, and there’s a lot to sink into here. There’s no flash-in-the-pan design around this; it’s full of longevity, replayability and life -- everything you want in a game for everyone. Highly recommended.

You'll even get trapped in spider webs and have to play a mini game in order to escape lest you be wrapped up as a meal for another day.

Ghost Games has been behind the wheel and under the hood of the NFS series now since 2013's <b>Need For Speed: Rivals</b>, incrementally adding to the NFS library on a two-year cycle, but still haven't broken through Criterion's high-bar windshield.

the story here is classic Star Wars. The characters are infectious, and the planet-hopping and Metroidvania game design, once you’ve gained most of your base abilities, is fun and rewarding.

In the end, all I can really say is this: handle Death Stranding with care.

Multiplayer and co-op add value, but the true <i>goo</i> here is in the game's ever-enjoyable single-player campaign that will keep you checking, checking and checking again under that bed, for that hidden ghost, or that hidden treasure.
