Combining soothing tracks for when you're exploring, with some suitably rousing tracks when engaged in combat, Legend of Kay's music is constantly a pleasure to your ears
Not having to worry about dying or engaging in combat means the game is a soothing experience, free from any sense of danger or urgency
Gameplay stays faithful to the series' roots, with you controlling Graham through wonderfully created environments as you find items and interact with an amusing consortium of characters on your quest to win the king's favour
Whilst your ninja is just a little stick man, he's the best animated little stick man I've ever seen, oozing grace and fluidity
Like a B-Movie, Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition hasn't got the production values of a AAA release, but what it does have is charm
With quite an unsatisfying combat system that sees you charging at enemies to headbutt them, you'll be tempted more often than not to flee
You'll soon find that the inventory becomes a chore as you have to juggle items around and leave valuable resources on the ground
If you do need to buy any cars for an event, buying them from an event entry screen automatically tunes them up to the required performance level. Whilst some may like this streamlining, I found it detracted from the game
It's simple and repetitive, sure, but it's also hugely enjoyable and grossly addictive
The game's major problem though is just how dreary it all is in terms of presentation
With its roots as a PlayStation 3 title clearly visible, Saint Seiya: Soldiers Soul isn't a particularly great-looking game. In fact, apart from the character models that are moderately pleasing to the eye you could say it's quite an ugly one
Building up your characters is quite a fun process, and adds a great deal of depth to an otherwise shallow game
Whilst Disgaea features many unique-looking characters that benefit from a HD makeover, the backgrounds and locations are lacking any real finesse and make the game feel fairly dated
As a pure no-nonsense rally game, WRC 5 succeeds by having responsive and convincing handling as well as options such as realistic damage to make the experience authentic
As a trade-off for the improved framerate the streets are never quite as busy in London as they were in Assassin's Creed Unity's Paris and there aren't as many explorable interiors, but it's a price well worth paying
Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is a great game, but it's not for everyone due to its steep learning curve
One of Need For Speed's most successful aspects is its car customisation, which is both deep yet easy to use
No matter what event type you find yourself in, the graphics are average at best, which makes the poor performance during the Freeride and Waypoint events baffling
Crafting mods for your equipment is child's play, compared to the fact that Fallout 4 allows you create and manage entire settlements with the junk you find on your travels
You'll have to complete each level four times if you want to take on the final boss in the hub world, which the cynic in me sees as a rather tiresome way of artificially increasing the game's length
