The biggest problem with the game is its length. If you storm through the eight main levels, you can breeze through in about five hours. With that said, there’s a selection of unlockables, mini-quests, and even a secret final level. It also offers the ability to replay past levels with new equipment. It’s a fleeting experience that stands out from the web with its humour, excellent sound design, and genuine laughs, frights, and thrills.
If it were one complete collection it’d be easily recommended but, as two separate purchases, these are for hardcore Namco fans only.
With five worlds, each with five sub-levels consisting of between one and four stages, as well as a plethora of secrets to find, there’s enough here to keep any FPS fanatic entertained for hours.
There is something engaging here, but it’s marred by weak scares and, less forgivably, dull as dishwater gameplay.
Put simply, Sparklite is best enjoyed as a single player experience, and to that end, it excels.
Overall, Pig Eat Ball is solid fun. With tweaks to the multiplayer, it could be a fantastic party game too.
Ultimately, you’ll want to pack some paracetamol for this headache.
If you’re skilled, you can speed through in a little over ten hours, though exploring every nook and cranny of the map and finding all of the collectables can take upwards of double that, especially considering there are two endings to experience. At any rate, Blasphemous is torturously fun, and one of the best the genre has to offer.
Overall, RAD is a great time. A simplistic roguelike with a humble, yet ingenious mechanic.
On the surface, Bear With Me appears to be little more than an amusing, story-driven, point and click adventure, infused with the tone and style of noir classics like The Maltese Falcon. However, there's much more at play within this clever episodic tale.
