Mick Fraser's Reviews
A steady puzzle game elevated by its story and mystery that's never quite original enough to stand out.
The same old Worms gameplay you’ve seen many times before, with bolder animations, new weapons and added vehicles.
A solid sequel that comes close to but never quite surpasses its exceptional predecessor, Mankind Divided is nonetheless an essential purchase for fans of stealth and story.
A poor first expansion to Ubisoft's floundering shooter. They must do better.
Sword Coast Legends is a decent CRPG let down by an overall lack of imagination and irritating difficulty spikes.
At times Full Mojo Rampage gets its wires a little crossed, and some of the roguelike elements can feel a little forced when they're not really necessary, but it's still a fun little blaster with a wonderful atmosphere and stacks of personality. It might be trying to elbow its way into a very crowded genre, but it has just enough pluck to earn its place.
10 Second Ninja X is a masterclass in simple design over showboating.
Beautiful, charming and touching, Song of the Deep provides an enjoyable, worthy adventure despite its issues.
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.
