Daniel Carreras's Reviews
A thoroughly enjoyable stealth game that could potentially make a strong mark on the genre as a whole thanks to its fantastic level design.
Despite all of the bugs I encountered I genuinely I enjoyed my time with Unbox, it’s not quite as good as I had hoped it would be.
Championship Edition 2 has followed confidently in the footsteps of the first game and is one of the most addictive and enjoyable games I’ve played in quite some time.
It’s an eccentric title but its quirks and flaws somehow make it even more charming and quintessentially British.
Furi is going to be an acquired taste, but its split-second gameplay and rewarding boss fights will win over many, especially those who enjoy a good challenge and are persistent enough to succeed no matter the odds or difficulty.
In the end, then, my verdict is a lukewarm as the general consensus regarding Dead Rising's other sequels.
Forza Horizon 3 truly tries its best to be all you could possibly want from an open world racing game and has easily surpassed its predecessors in almost every way. In the 10 years since Test Drive Unlimited changed the racing genre for the better, I finally feel like I've played its spiritual successor, and it was certainly worth the wait.
This is an evolution - and decidedly not a revolution - of console strategy games, and as such won’t win over any hardcore strategy gamers. Those who enjoyed the original Halo Wars, however, will find a solid strategy game offering up plenty of fun.
What many worried would be a simple reskin is so much more than that; this is a very different, slower paced and more serious Battlefield that is genuinely refreshing to play through.
Respawn has built magnificently on the original Titanfall and crafted one of the most entertaining and downright enjoyable games of the year.
Lumo is a shout back to all those games many of us love and miss. It's frustrating at times, but when you skate this close to the source material it’s to be expected, and is a risk worth taking.
While the presentation continues to go from strength to strength, almost everything else falls spectacularly flat.
There are hints of more significant and interesting narrative arcs to come - ones that will hopefully play out in the coming episodes, with Michonne's own past being one of these - but with how haphazardly the rest of the characters' narrative arcs have so far been handled I'm a little wary of the outcome.
That Dragon, Cancer obviously won't be to everyone's tastes, but it's a powerful and touching game that tugs on the heart strings.
Artistically and graphically it is sublime, and initially at least there are some neat moments to behold, but the rest of the title including, crucially, the gameplay, simply does not hold up to scrutiny.
Life is Strange has had its ups and downs, but the occasionally cheesy writing and dull plot points are easily outweighed by a truly unique game world and generally strong story-telling.
Its value proposition is almost unrivalled and the extra features add a twist of modernity to what could have easily been a quick cash grab collection.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is an absolutely stunning game, but once your initial awe for the visuals begins to fade all you're left with is a drawn-out narrative that has you wandering from one story set-piece to another.
In some respects Volume is a refreshingly simple take on a pure stealth title. It really does nail the stealth mechanics, and although short it offers a wealth of replayability thanks to an extensive level editor and community-made levels.
Legacy of the Void doesn't so much conclude StarCraft II with a bang as it helps to re-invigorate interest in a game that has been through dozens of ups and downs over the last few years.
