10 / 10.0 - Resident Evil 2
Jan 23, 2019

The traditions of survival horror have been modernised, resulting in something that's all-too-familiar yet always manages to keep you on your toes.

10 / 10.0 - Control
Aug 26, 2019

Control shows not only Remedy’s growth as a studio, but studio head Sam Lake’s as a writer, building and greatly expanding upon concepts started in Alan Wake and flirted with in Quantum Break.

10 / 10.0 - Tell Me Why
Aug 28, 2020

While Tell Me Why may draw people in because of a transgender character, it offers far more than just that. It presents a complex, psychological narrative that doesn’t use minorities as mere tools to shortcut emotional responses from its players. Take note.

Sep 9, 2021

Ultimately, The Artful Escape is so stellar in terms of both character building and narrative

Alan Wake Remastered is a remasterpiece. I caught myself audiably saying, “man, I love this game” over and over while playing. I’ve dipped back in to Alan Wake’s American Nightmare to continue on, and I have a feeling I’ll be scheduling another replay of Control when this silly season quiets down. Remedy’s universe has captured my heart; Remastered certainly holds its own in 2021, but also serves as an impressive reminder of how far the studio has grown since 2010.

Andromeda is superb, easily jettisoning Ryder and crew ahead of Commander Shepard and his team.

This is one for Bayonetta hardcore fans or those who've missed out on the originals. It's also a brilliant way to get ready for Bayonetta 3.

Spider-Man is a heroic masterpiece, and one certainly worth playing.

9.5 / 10.0 - BoxBoy! + BoxGirl!
Apr 25, 2019

Despite the move to Switch, levels are still designed in a handheld console mentality, meaning you’ll be able to get through a level in a couple minutes flat; as such, BoxBoy remains perfectly suited for pick-up, put-down play.

Jun 26, 2019

If you’ve played Super Mario Maker, you already know this Switch sequel is a must-buy. If you’re a Switch owner, Super Mario Maker 2 needs to be part of your collection. Easy as that.

9.5 / 10.0 - The Outer Worlds
Oct 23, 2019

The Outer Limits has something for everyone — like intricately designed RPGs that have come before it, I found myself plotting my next moves while at work or even playing hockey, desperate to get back into its world and continue my journey.

Just like The Stick of Truth, The Fractured But Whole is 100% South Park. This is a must for fans of the show, while those who enjoy a challenging RPG will delight in cranking up the difficulty and working through its many systems.

9 / 10.0 - NHL 17
Sep 8, 2016

NHL 16 saved the franchise from utter ruin, but NHL 17 shows you just what developers who love hockey can do when given ample time to work on a product. This year’s result is polished and bursting at the seams with care and love. With more modes than you can shake a stick at and niggling bugs of the past destroyed — I couldn’t find a single glitch over a marathon play session while preparing for this review — this is the best version of NHL to date. Grab a copy, some beers and a friend and show each other what you can do.

9 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 4, 2017

Playtonic's special brand of humour is weaved throughout, seemingly innocent but with a sly wink towards those old enough to appreciate subtleties.
