Brett Claxton's Reviews
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a well crafted single player game that feels like something different.
Devil May Cry 5 is one of the finest hack and slash games of this generation
Resident Evil 2 is one of the most exciting games I've in a long time.
The most important thing to know though is, is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate worth your time? The answer is a huge yes.
Battlefield V is a beautiful looking game with a lot of potential. Hopefully the additions and tweaks that happen in the future will make it even better.
Football is a game of two halves. It’s been that way for a while and, for a long time, the FIFA series has offered a fun rendition of the sport in a digital world. With FIFA 19 they look to add a bit more to it, with a level of customisation to the games not seen before in the series.
NFL Madden 19 is a very fun sports game, even if you’re not the biggest fan of American Football.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider feels like they've perfected the formula created in 2013.
Just as fun to play single player as it is multiplayer
If you’re after a virtual reality experience that is a bit different and won’t take ages to complete then Superhot VR is definitely that.
If you've never played a Yakuza game before then Yakuza Kiwami is a great place to start.
There are some nice visual flourishes as you play through it, but it’s all ruined by multiple terrible control schemes on a system that just doesn’t seem to have the hardware to make it a competent game.
If you’re a fan of story driven adventure games with a focus on dialogue and problem solving, then Dreamfall Chapters is a gem even if you’ve not played the series before. If you’re not though, it’s unlikely to be the game that will make you change your mind.
The Silver Case is an intriguing package that provides an insight in to the early works of Suda51, one of gaming’s more interesting personalities. The game might’ve aged but its quality still shines through.
Even if you're not a Star Trek fan this is still a game worth considering, especially if you're after a social virtual reality experience. Just try not to become a redshirt.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a great looking game that will be talked about for years to come. Its handling of a usually dark subject matter is delicate and the game mechanics make it stand out in the walking simulator genre.
There’s plenty on offer in Puyo Puyo Tetris and it looks great whilst showing it all off. It’s not just a great modern upgrade of one puzzle game, but two. It may be the kind of thing that looks crazy on paper but somehow Sonic Team have made it work.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is one of the best remaster packages around. Even to this day the series firmly stands the test of time and it’s great having so much of it in one place.
I wanted to love Rain World. It’s an admirable game that tries many interesting things, but it also puts up too many barriers that deter gamers from truly enjoying it. There’s an interesting world to explore, but most will lack the patience to do so.
It’s not without its flaws, and hopefully some of them will be ironed out in the future, but even without a patch there’s still a charm to Mr. Shifty.
