Andrew Duncan's Reviews
ans of the anime and manga will enjoy the alternate reality take of this, and people who want to know what happened next for Kirito and company after Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment are going to continue enjoying this. Newcomers will find this more approachable than the last game, as it does a good job of summing up events so far -- but they do take a while to be explained.
For a game about big things, it's kinda short. Great classic action, lots to do, but not much of it.
Enter a world where crime doesn't happen, and investigate murder, theft, and apocalypse. Also lots of talking.
A fantastic addition to the Saints Row catalogue, though it's marred by a bunch of glitches and bugs that keep it just shy of excellence.
While not exactly breaking new ground in the genre, Seven Pirates H knows all of the notes well enough to do a decent job of it. And with all of the immature humour you'll be laughing your tits off.
Time manipulation with an action hero instead of a prince. It's an interesting puzzle game in the guise of a first-person shooter, and if you ignore the story there's a lot of fun to be had here.
It's always fun to control a robot that can smash through windows, but the lack of content might put some people off.
Some sound and physics shenanigans don't stop this from being a fun, if occasionally frustrating, game that goes towards redeeming CI Games for the previous game's missteps.
I can't help but think TT Games rushed this one, as it had too many bugs to be truly incredible, but if they can patch those out it's yet another fantastic LEGO game that you're going to love.
It manages to improve upon the previous game, and thankfully fixes some of it's problems. Since you can import your save from the last game, you should probably check that out first - it will help give you a deeper understanding of the story too.
If you're looking for something to keep you busy and entertained, Agents of Mayhem brings it in spades. However, if you get bored of doing the same things over and over again, you might not get what you want from it.
It's slow moving, but that's mainly because you're trying to conserve fuel. If you're awful at resource management, then you'll find The Long Journey Home takes longer than it should. There's quite a bit to do and see, and kill, but if you want a time sink then this will be right up your alley.
Adventure on Clover Island is a good starting point, and shows that the team have the ability to make something great. Unfortunately, most gamers decide games on a price=hours basis, and that's something Skylar & Plux doesn't deliver. However, if you're up for a strong platformer that has a great script to waste some time on, it's a definite recommendation.
Overall, it may be a pain to have to collect each type of brick that you want to use, but you’ll learn things. I do like this game, and I’m not big on open sandboxes. Or, perhaps I like it because of that.
Fans of the franchise should pick this up, if they’re eager to see what Kingdom Hearts III will have in store, although newcomers would do better to pick one of the previous HD remakes.
A bunch of new items and weapons, with a new companion and a huge amount of exploring to be done, there’s little reason Automatron shouldn’t be on your radar.
Some generic plots and sound issues don’t detract too much from a fairly strong RPG/farming hybrid.
It's not a perfect game, with possibly buggy AI and a steep learning curve, but it is definitely fun and has the one-more-go feel to it.
If you want a match-3 puzzle game on the Switch, then definitely take a look. It's a nice, casual puzzle game that might infuriate you on occasion, but will certainly keep you occupied.
I'm sure that once all five episodes are out, the game will be a great one, deserving of the highest scores. But right now the generic, unlikeable characters mar what could have been pretty perfect.
