Is it worth the price of admission… that's hard to tell. If you are a die hard fan of the series I would imagine this is indeed something you need to complete your "set" as it were. If you only really play Nier Automata in a casual manner… then perhaps sit this out… though the chance to fight a real "boss" battle may be worth even grinding that bit to get to the required level… maybe wait for a special before putting your cash down.

Space the final frontier... this is the attempt to return from that frontier.

May 20, 2017

Looking and feeling like a game from a number of years ago, the Youkols may not be the only thing best left to history here.

Unmistakable influences lead to a game with a lot of heart but lacking polish.

Possibly not for the purists but a bit of fun.

If Roger Wilco and Larry Laffer had a child... via genetic engineering.

3.8 / 5.0 - The Butterfly Sign
Apr 18, 2017

The story is quite interesting and by the end of chapter one you will probably find yourself having a fare idea of what's going on, what went on and who you are… but there are some more questions left to answer and that is obviously the hook to keep you going. Visually it's quite a treat (other than the previously mentioned lighting issue) and the puzzles aren't too taxing so you can progress without feeling to laboured.

Politically correct gaming... yeah, this isn't that!

4.6 / 5.0 - Dead Rising 4
Apr 9, 2017

This serves as a much need giggle in the midst of so many dire Zombie themed games and is worth it just for the flexibility of how you play… well worth adding to your collection if you like your action with a bit of a smirk.

What's worse than dying in a game... dying and being heckled for doing so.

Aliens attacked earth and left robots to deal with the remains, we sent robots to deal with their robots.

3.4 / 5.0 - Ziggurat
Dec 31, 2016

So if you are after a dungeon crawler (or more correctly here a Tower climber) and you get your kicks from Serious Sam style play… then prepare to test your mettle as a Wizard to be, enter the Ziggurat and show them whose boss. If you are like me and find perma-death more a nuisance than a challenge then perhaps steer clear.

If you like Batman or even just good story telling then this is a great game to add to your collection

The sim itself is quite solid… it’s ridiculous how pleasant it can be to get out on the open road with your cargo behind you and just drive. But what really makes it great fun is the radio stations.

The safest way to experience an amusement park... and to make the scariest ride you can subject other people to.

Seemingly at his lowest point, can Bruce Wayne claw his way back up and take back control of Gotham's streets?
