Mick Fraser's Reviews
Sweet, blood-soaked, unashamedly offensive catharsis - Carmageddon: Max Damage has all of the above in spades.
An ambitious game that just doesn't feel good enough even for a low budget title.
Lost Sea is neither particularly original nor exciting, but it's charming enough in its own way.
Furi is a rare game: unique, challenging and fun, but it will almost certainly prove insurmountable for some.
The Technomancer, like Bound by Flame before it, tries to be too much like the genre leaders instead of finding its own way, and ends up falling short of the mark.
A second chance to try Tequila Works’ side-scrolling zombie classic, but not essential if you played the original.
While The Devil's Daughter does a lot of things adequately, it does absolutely none of them spectacularly, and feels like a bit of a misstep for the series.
Dungeons 2 is a bit of a missed opportunity, and isn't going to revive the age of the Dungeon-builder any time soon.
If you made the trip to Far Harbor at all then you know what you're hoping for, and it's safe to say you'll find it. Just don't expect a radical departure from what has come before.
Homefront: The Revolution feels like it's arriving a decade late and under-dressed, and although it reaches for the heights, it never approaches them.
An ambitious team shooter that struggles with its identity and is let down by a weak script and try-hard comedy.
Once Upon a Climb is a strong middle episode that makes us much more hopeful for the next.
Alienation may lack the tactical nuance of Helldivers, but it makes up for it with tight shooting and a tonne of pretty-pretty explosions.
Wasteland Workshop is a nice little addition to Fallout 4, even though it only really amounts to a bunch of cosmetic stuff for the build menu and a customarily buggy, yet hilariously entertaining, DIY arena.
Fallout 4's first DLC offering adds some interesting elements to the established formula, but it's over in a blink and still just as buggy.
Undeniably ambitious, Remedy's game certainly feels unique in many ways, but perhaps not in the ways that truly matter.
One of the most promising new IPs of this generation so far. Massive, clever and addictive, The Division is Ubisoft at their best.
A fantastic, original take on the Souls-formula that maintains the addictive risk/reward loop we've come to expect from the genre.
A powerful, emotional survival adventure, The Flame in the Flood manages to stand out even in a swiftly-populating genre.
The Following is a huge expansion that swaps the ruined city for the rugged countryside, but loses none of the desperate thrills of the original campaign.
