Mick Fraser's Reviews
It feels incredible to play and looks like it’ll be a bigger, deeper, more personal adventure, and I can’t wait to see how deep Melinoe’s quest takes her.
Another Crab's Treasure is a game full of ideas, and one that deserves to put indie developer Aggro Crab well and truly on the map.
There's a hell of a lot going on in Stellar Blade, but it remains a surprisingly elegant and exciting adventure throughout.
Remnant 2: The Forgotten Kingdom remains a worthy addition to the main game and a solid, if less exciting, successor to the Awakened King.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a well-made, confident adventure with some great voice-acting, and fluid, addictive platforming.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a truly memorable experience that absolutely will stick with you when it's over.
The action is frantic, stylish, and addictive – and if that's all you want from a roguelike shooter then ArcRunner won't disappoint.
If you don't have access to the PC version then House Flipper 2 is definitely worth picking up on console.
If you're looking for a game with tough choices and challenging combat to get lost in, you could do much worse than Broken Roads.
If you're looking for a non-violent stealth game, though, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a straightforward, mostly uncluttered challenge.
Children of the Sun is a thrilling puzzle game that does a great job of keeping you engaged, and when you're on a roll it's hard to put down.
Beat Slayer is an enjoyable enough game in short doses, but does nothing to move its genre forward or innovate on established ideas.
Saviorless is a dark, frightening, often sorrowful tale that took me a little while to get into and then held on tight for the duration.
There's simply no question that Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is a must-play game.
Rise of the Ronin is a solid open world action adventure that rarely puts a foot wrong, but is unlikely to set the world on fire either.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is exactly what veterans will be expecting, as double-edged as that may be, but there's simply no other action RPG experience like it.
As with any survival-crafting-farming game in early access, Lightyear Frontier will only grown and evolve – but unlike many of its contemporaries, it already feels like a complete experience. How long it can sustain my interest with so few possibilities of sudden death or unannounced explosions of violent fury when the wildlife is careless enough to wander through my domain remains to be seen, but if you want a relaxing, good-looking, steady little farming sim with a touch of sci-fi and lots of scope to build and grow, Lightyear Frontier’s early access offering is worth checking out.
There's fun to be had in the shooting and gliding, but Outcast: A New Beginning is simply stretched a little too thin.
The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology is a pleasant enough experience though, and won't out-stay its welcome.
Bore Blasters is a fun little time-waster, but it's not an experience you'll remember after you've moved on.
