Dylan Blight's Reviews
This game shows signs of a true classic already, and it's easy to see the elements of a breakout hit over the 2021/2022 period.
Death's Door is a crowning achievement for Acid Nerve, a must-play for the year and an instant game of the year contender.
I don't know who, in my right mind, I would recommend Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance to.
As far as surprises in 2021 go, Scarlet Nexus jumping into my list of favourite things I've played this year is certainly up there as unexpected.
Anyone that loves a good co-op experience and a puzzle game will get a fantastic afternoon out of Operation: Tango filled with yelling, cheering and the kind of frustrated sighs that only build better friendships and make better spies.
From the world to the character designs and the environmental themes the game plays around with, you can sense the passion from the team making Biomutant. It's an undeniable passion from the team, and there's a lot of ideas to love, but the scope here is beyond what the team could deliver in a well-wrapped package.
When everything works the way it's supposed to, the harder fought wins come from precision teamwork and communication, which can be exhilarating, tense, and lead to some rather loud celebratory victories.
With headphones on and the right mindset, the lo-fi vibes are enjoyable, but this is far from a competent Skate 4 sit-in without the tight controls or the engaging level-design and challenge.
Returnal is Housemaruqe's best game. They succeeded in their greatest achievement by combining their history as a developer onto a higher budget, and it paid off immensely. If you have PlayStation 5 and you're not playing Returnal, you're not treating your PS5 right.
RE: Village is an almost-perfect mix of the franchises' inspirations, with some of the most eccentric and exciting villains the series has seen in years.
Even amongst some odd design decisions from yesteryear, annoying bugs, and some dull mission moments, I really want another one of these games now.
People Can Fly aren’t re-inventing the wheel here, and it may be rough around the edges, but this is some of the most thrilling third-person combat I've played in years.
Hazelight has delivered another memorable co-op adventure, this time one that is brimming with chaotic Pixar energy and a real inventive flair for game ideas.
Playing MTG in the palm of your hand, flicking between cards with your fingers, that's the best way to play the digital version of this card game.
Hopefully, there's an injection of skins and other items to chase over the next month, and it'll be able to sustain a long-term player base. I'd love to be part of that group as I'm enjoying smashing into cars like never before, but the game needs a better progression system.
I loved it on PS4, and I love it even more now. With all of my technical issues removed, this is the ultimate way to play one of 2019's most exhilarating, and weirdest games.
I found myself rather bored a lot of the time, and straight-up hating several sections for being tedious or repetitive.
Nuts is an interesting game where the story fairly quickly overshoots the gameplay in scope.
With beautiful art direction, smart puzzles and terrific performances, Call of the Sea is a must-play for anyone who loves mystery, puzzles and romance.
A solid campaign from Raven Software with a somewhat disappointing multiplayer and zombies experience.
