An estate in ruins, eldritch horrors, and eagerly suicidal heroes. Darkest Dungeon know its audience, and they’re the best kind of masochists.
Mini Metro delivers what it promises… which is more than any other metro system... As near to perfect as a minimalistic mass transit simulator can be.
Look. I’m a massive Assassin’s Creed fan, and a huge Greek mythology buff. I am the direct target audience of this game. That’s why there’s so many ridiculous statues in my gaming room, and why Desmond’s tribal tattoo is emblazoned down my skinny Irish arm. But if you can change a series this much, have awful microtransactions, and I still love it? That’s a game worth playing. Whether I’m sailing, hunting, warring, or assassinating, I’ve had a ball.
A beautiful, fantastically enjoyable adventure, and a bittersweet goodbye to Geralt of Rivia.
Challenging, immersive, and fun, Dishonored 2 hits the mark in all the right places. A masterpiece.
A (maybe) fine farewell to the Outsider, and hopefully not to the series.
An engaging and atmospheric Lovecraftian adventure, as challenging as it is addictive. A must-play.
As inviting to new players as it is familiar to old, Echoes is far more than a Shadow of Gaiden.
You’ll lose your life to this game; Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s magnum opus, of that there is no question. This is a vibrant, gigantic, living world crafted from pixels and dreams, and hours go by in the blink of an eye. It’s flawed, but God damn it’s an experience and a half. You need to play it.
This is what VR should be; a combination of enjoyable gameplay, solid immersion, decent story and acting, all brought together into one Layer Cake of gaming.
Worms W.M.D. is a Well Made Distraction that I Would Most Definitely recommend.
Besides a camera straight from Robot Hell, there’s a real Heart to this little indie brawler.
With heaps of charm and innovation, you’ll be hard-pressed to resist the pull of Gravity Rush 2.
Despite not quite being arachno-fabulous, Marvel's Spider-Man makes its mark with killer storytelling and excellent mechanics.
Held back by its own ambition, For Honor isn’t a masterpiece, but delivers where it counts.
If you're tired of grey landscapes, grey guns, and grey soldiers, try taking Grayson out for a spin.
A fun, mature entry in the Digimon series, let down by the verbose story and lack of challenge.
Great in sprints, but tedium might put off players looking for deeper experiences.
Endgame aside, Shadow of War hits the right marks, and is worth another run through the Black Gate.
Let’s not kid ourselves; Starlink is here to sell toys. Just like Skylanders, amiibo, and Disney Infinity before it, Starlink is a game designed to make you buy those little ships, digitally or physically. And no, they won’t break the bank, and are pretty cool for what they are. I do wish the base game came with a little more oomph, but overall it’s a quality product, if you’re willing to make the investment
