Jordan Oloman's Reviews
Voodoo Vince Remastered is a burlap bonanza 13 years later, providing nostalgia for fans and a fresh, compelling experience for those invested in the 3D Platforming genre. Come to New Orleans for the alluring art style and stay for the clever gameplay and sonically pleasing score.
The Elder Scrolls Legends stands on its own two feet in the trendy genre of computer card games with its unique mechanics and consistent, surprising gameplay. If you're looking for a CCG with lore at its core and deck-building at its heart, give this free to play title a whirl.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a wholly necessary sequel to the first game, and a delight for fans of the TV show wedged inside a solid, feature-complete RPG with a few small issues holding it back. Whilst not as revolutionary as the first instalment, it still goes great lengths to deliver absurd laughs.
Yakuza Kiwami is an extremely faithful remaster of 2005 classic Yakuza, complete with generous visuals and a new mode that diversifies the awesome combat. If you like absurd humour, tight narrative, Tekken Tag synths and punishing combos, this game should definitely be on your radar.
A solid and life-breathing addition to a previously waning franchise, Call of Duty: WWII plies fans with the gameplay the know with enough bells and whistles to please franchise fanatics and newcomers alike, despite not quite reaching the hallowed ground of the series best.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus carves its own path as an improved version of its predecessor, but the result is not entirely revolutionary. Come for the gameplay you know and stay for the story, score and characters that you don't.
Ruin of the Reckless is a wonderful new entry to the Roguelike arena that binds tantalising, mechanically sound gameplay with a gorgeous art style and an inspiring soundtrack.
Messhof have taken the unique thrill of the first Nidhogg and channelled it into an excellent sequel that develops the experience and makes it essential. Pick it up on Steam and get ready to ruin your many friendships
Last Day of June is a well written, engaging piece of art with a beautiful score and a dreamy, atmospheric world that will wrap you up and break your heart.
A brilliant little marvel, Minit finds beauty in its arbitrary constraints to craft a compelling, puzzling little adventure game with talent beaming out of its art and audio design.
A strong start to the season, Thesis brings satisfying NSA gameplay and ties it well to a thought-provoking narrative in a complementary and immersive operating system environment.
Far Cry 5 is one of the best open world games ever made, and certainly Ubisoft's finest effort. Unfortunately, the narrative stumbles and trips, throwing the tone into disarray and ultimately leading to a dissatisfying conclusion. Throw your story expectations to the wind and come to Hope County for the addictive open-world thrills, excellent OST and side characters.
Get Even is a spectacular genre-bending indie with a number of novel ideas only hampered by a few marginal technical bumps in the road. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and are looking for something fresh and exciting, this is the game for you!
An interesting exploration of blue-collar monotony with a macabre twist, Diaries Of A Spaceport Janitor begs to be explored and understood
A perfect use of the Video Game medium to create an emotional experience, This Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is a fun, introspective jaunt that provokes and soothes the mind in equal measure.
A Hat in Time revives the 3D Platformer and even kicks some well-needed dirt in its crusty old eyes. Come for the cute visuals and compelling characters and stay for the tight controls and addicting gameplay loops.
Overall, Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life is a feature-length absurdity-laden romp that is the perfect silly antidote for first-timers and a pleasing development of the series for fans. With a multitude of systems, meaningful progression and side quests to fill your boots with, you will struggle to get bored and always find yourself craving your next knockout fix.
A pinnacle of aesthetic design and the best use of the Unreal Engine to date, ABZÛ is an unmissable underwater romp.
The only problem with the game is that I wanted more of it. Her Majesty’s Spiffing will run you about four hours. Once you reach its end, the game is very clear with the player stating that ‘This story will continue… maybe… if we get enough sales’. Hopefully for the developers, quality of product will lead to quantity of sales, and the adventures of S.P.I.F.F.I.NG are able to continue on.
If you’re looking for something to break through the mould, look no further than Event [0], an innovative indie title with a lot of charm.
