Dragon Age: Inquisition presents a content rich world with a whole facet of interesting and deep characters. It's a worth addition to any RPG fan's collection and a gorgeous sight to behold.
When it comes down to it, Dark Souls 3 is an amalgamation of everything that came before it. If the framerate issues are fixed with an update, this is easily the best Dark Souls game yet.
Odin Sphere is one of the best ports to modern day consoles available. It's vibrant, energetic and tweaked to the point that it feels like a new experience, while preserving the original in a different mode.
Quest of Dungeons is an indie darling that does justice by the roguelike genre and makes it more accessible for Xbox One players. It's unbelievably charming cast will have you venturing and dying in the dungeons time and time again.
'Thought provoking' may be the best way to describe my overall experience with SOMA. With the story being expertly delivered through eloquent voice acting and dialogue, environmental design, and questionable moral choices. SOMA stands out as a deft lesson in storytelling, which many developers should learn from. I'd highly recommend trying SOMA for anyone and everyone.
I’d have to say, I never expected to enjoy Mankind Divided as much as I did. I had my reservations since playing Human Revolution with its less than stellar animations and horrendous boss fights. I was expecting much of the same and I’m glad I was wrong. With a sprawling hub environment at its heart, Mankind Divided has plenty of off beaten paths to lose countless hours on.
Worms W.M.D has been an absolute blast. Removing the 3D and physics based ideas that its lesser cousins had endowed and bringing back the 2D over-the-top carnage was what Worms needed to revitalise the franchise.
Nioh offers up a substantial amount of content, with a ton of levels, New Game+ and some “Twilight Missions". Twilight Missions are revamped levels with better loot drops rates that rotate daily giving players even more content to undertake, but they are currently limited to a select few missions. There is an overwhelming amount of things to do. Some gameplay mechanics may hinder your play style and ultimately get you killed, but nevertheless you could opt not to implement them into your approach.
I can’t speak for how Yooka-Laylee compares to what veteran fans would expect, but as some who loved his fair share of older generation of platformers, Yooka-Laylee is the game the genre needs.
It’s safe to say that there is a lot included in Victor Vran: Overkill Edition. Whether you’re playing through the story solo or with a friend, there is plenty to keep you occupied. Even if you don’t get around to doing very little thing, there’s well over 50 hours of gameplay here if you're determined to stick around.
Resi Rev 2 is a much needed return to what makes the series so special. An intriguing story and Barry Burton are worth the asking price alone.
A charming and easily grasped twin-stick shooter that acts as an endearing homage to the likes of Binding of Isaac.
Given that my love for the original DOOM games continues to compel me to keep playing them till this day. I can happily say that DOOM (2016) scratches everyone of my itches. The Singleplayer is definitely the highlight. With tons of gibs, gore and shotguns to pass around, I was head over heels in love with the campaign.
An engrossing Noir tale that uses colour effectively to drive home its enveloping crime drama.
This femme fatale steps up where Duke could not. As an isometric shooter, Bombshell is fast paced, full of tongue in cheek humour, and offers a wonderfully vivid world to blow up.
101 Ways to Die has its own unique charm and as with a majority of indies games they can either be a hit or a miss, luckily Four Door Lemon knew what they were doing when creating this addictive title.
Dex is light in terms of story, it's fairly linear but does the genre it resides in justice by implementing all the tropes that make Cyberpunk great. Hacking, conspiracies, and cybernetics are all present. With doom and gloom around every corner of this dystopian society it's easy to find yourself wrapped up in its civil unrest.
The king is back, kind of, in a perfect remaster of Duke Nukem 3D. Any fans of the FPS genre and Duke need this game. With some nice extras and a few tweaks you'll be able to save all the babes in the world one more time.
A hauntingly complex story full of creepy characters means that The Charnel House Trilogy is an indie title you need to keep your eye out for on PC.
Shadow Warrior 2 surpasses everything that was its predecessor's 2013 release. A larger roster of weaponry to choose from, a Diablo-esque loot system for equipment upgrades, greatly improved visuals and most importantly, a 4-player cooperative mode.
