This is a love letter to classic twin-stick shooters. With input from one of the kings of the genre in Eugene Jarvis, there was almost no way this could fail. It's a fast-paced, colourful, and bullet-rich affair that will have you coming back for more again and again.
This promised so much more than it delivered. It's a good game, but it's just not as good as its predecessors. Whilst Micro Machines World Series is good fun, it doesn't offer enough to elevate it to the status of its forefathers.
A solid version of a classic, with some nice extras. It's faithful to the gameplay and it looks the part, but it doesn't do anything that we haven't seen before. If you're not looking for a reinvention, then it's a good game to play, just don't expect to be overly surprised by anything.
Finally, we have the return to form that Sonic fans have been waiting for all these years. This isn't just one of the best Sonic games of recent years, but one of the best Sonic games full stop. You owe it to yourself to get a copy of this masterpiece.
A decent game that doesn't seem like it was completely finished before being released. It's not a bad game, but neither is it a great game. One for hardcore Visual Novel fans only I'm afraid.
Not a lot has changed here, so if you didn't like the first game, you'll probably not feel any more warmth to this one. If you did like the original Knack though, then this is more of the same and chances are you'll enjoy it. Without the pressure of being a launch title, we can see the game for what it really is: a fun platform title that does plenty of things well, if very little that's particularly ground-breaking.
An entertaining and nicely constructed love letter to the Metroidvania games of old. If you're the kind of person that got excited for the SNES mini then this is one to watch.
Yes, having poo for a weapon is mildly amusing, but when there's not that much substance to the game, the joke wears thin quicker than it ought to. It'll be fun at a party after a few beers for an hour or two, but this isn't a contender for the next big esport.
Cook, Serve, Delicious 2!! feels like a step backwards when compared to the first game. A lot of features are missing and those that have been added aren't enough to make up for them. Save your money and buy Cook, Serve, Delicious!
TL:DR Version - Wolfenstein II does a brilliant job of mixing social commentary with unnecessary violence and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. There's a few optimisation issues and the level design could be a touch better, but this is an overall outstanding game that deserves a look.
With an awkward difficulty curve and some questionable sonic choices, this isn't a purrfect platformer, but it's certainly good enough for meow. I'm not kitten around when I say this is a competent platformer that deserves a look in if you can get it fur a decent price.
They say that love can build a bridge, but love isn't GlaDOS' style, so you'll have to make do with girders and cables instead. Frustratingly difficult in parts, but a game that you'll keep coming back to until you master it.
Repetitive gameplay, poor graphics and not a lot of fun. Not worth recommending I'm afraid.
With an increase in scope and improvements in every area, Q.U.B.E. 2 shows that Toxic Games have learnt from their experience and are doing a great job. This is an excellent title that is even better than the great game that it follows on from.
I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed Ni no Kuni II. It's one of the best JRPGs in years and it's a must-buy for fans of the genre. It's cute, thoroughly addictive and has more tweaks and statistics than you can shake a sword at. If you enjoyed the first game, you will love this.
I can't think of a single redeeming feature about this game. It's about as entertaining as a night out in Milton Keynes. Poor controls, lazy graphics, very little gameplay and everything is just a long, drawn out frustratio
Playing this game is like playing four different games of varying quality. If they'd just stuck to one idea and executed it well, this could have been a winner. As it is, sadly this is a game which is a jack of all trades but master of none.
A great little pair of puzzle games here. Nothing new for owners of the iOS and Android versions, but if you don't already have them, this is definitely worth a play.
I might not have had the same amount of enjoyment from this add-on as I did from the main game, but I would still recommend picking it up, especially as the season pass will net you this, a new glove skin, and a second puzzle pack at a later date.
Overall, whilst Tanglewood has a few minor niggles, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a must-have title on either the Mega Drive or Steam. It's cute, colourful and great fun. It's also a great achievement and testament to the dedication Big Evil Corp have put into authenticity.
