Pure Pool isn't perfect, there are a few minor niggles, such as a lack of a replay option for when you hit that perfect shot, or get extremely fluky. It would also be nice to see some of the other pool variation included, because as it is, it feels very bare in that regard. However, as an actual simulation of pool, VooFoo studios can be very proud of what they have created. They are the current kings of the pool hall.
Everything about the game shows it has been made with love and affection, it has the visuals to impress anyone that lays eyes on it, but also some really well balanced gameplay to dig its claws in and keep you hooked.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor isn't an earth shattering, game changing title. But it does do enough to move the genre on a bit.
There is a lot to discover with Alien: Isolation and for fans of both the franchise and the genre you cannot go far wrong with this title. The story if well written and the game oozes atmosphere whilst wrapping it all up with game mechanics that work exceptionally well.
If you are a fan of the likes of Thief and Hitman then Styx: Master of Shadows is well deserving of a play. Goblins may be foul, disgusting creatures, but you won't help but like this one.
[LEGO games] do have that something special, that makes them so engaging and LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is no exception.
A broken buggy mess of a game without one single redeeming feature. Avoid like the plague.
Good concepts are fine, but if you cannot back those up with solid gameplay, then unfortunately it is always going to be a lost cause.
Lovely visuals cannot save Risen 3 from falling way short in the overall quality stakes.
A real missed opportunity, it should be done better and has been before.
A nice concept with just one too many issues to make it worthwhile.
A decent concept, that has been marketed and presented totally wrong.
A game that could and should have scored a lot higher, but just can't quite pull the game together.
Aaru's Awakening is a competent if unspectacular game, that with a little more time in the oven could have been much better as an overall experience.
A competent game which has little wrong with it, but just won't leave an impression.
A game of two parts, one that makes you feel so relaxed within its world and another that just about works, but feels like it doesn't quite belong in this experience.
A solid game, with a few minor port issues, but at a budget price one you should be at least flirting with the idea of playing.
Might not be one for veterans, but newcomers will get plenty from Etherium.
War for the Overworld will eventually be a 9/10 as long as the support continues, just a shame it isn't there yet.
A nice and inviting title that doesn't set the world alight, but is happy to simply entertain your spare time.
