Chris White's Reviews
Syberia: The World Before is a solid return to form for the series, with strong and inventive puzzles and an engaging story.
Pentiment is a stunning piece of work, with a rich story, gorgeous artwork, and fleshed out characters that keep you hungry to learn more.
While Jurassic World Aftermath Collection has some strong points, it doesn't quite do the game justice like it did in VR.
Football Manager 2023 offers plenty of depth for fans wanting to fully immerse themselves, but there aren't a ton of noticeable improvements. It's still an incredible game, but those wanting to see a huge step-up from last year's won't really find it here.
WRC Generations is a solid effort that ends KT Racing's time at the helm, acting as a greatest hits for the series. It may not offer tons of content or any substantial additions, but the controls are tight, and it looks the best it's ever looked before.
Unknown Number: A First Person Talker is a smart and innovative title, but there're a few hiccups that could be fixed to make it better.
God of War Ragnarok is the definition of a masterpiece, featuring some of the best combat of all time, a gripping, poignant, and ambitious story, with so much to do you'll never want it to end.
The Chant is a little rough around the edges, but there're some smart ideas and a strong story that keep you hooked throughout.
With plenty more to test in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, we’ll update this review to include a breakdown of its multiplayer, but as far as the campaign goes, Infinity Ward has put out a solid effort that surpasses most Call of Duty campaigns we’ve seen over the last five years. It’s a good sequel to 2019’s reboot, but still follows some all too familiar tropes, with some of the characters not getting the spotlight they deserve. I’ve played a good chunk of it, but it’s too early to give proper impressions of its online components, so check back soon for our complete review along with a score.
Saturnalia is a smart survival horror title that offers plenty of freedom despite its claustrophobic and anxiety-inducing encounters.
Signalis offers an incredible story with a terrifying atmosphere that is just as much about your surroundings as it is about the creatures.
Resident Evil Village: Winters Expansion offers new ways to play the original, and Shadows of Rose is pretty good, but is quite short and didn't leave me satisfied by the time the credits rolled.
New Tales from the Borderlands is a worthy successor to Telltale's magnum opus, with great writing and an engaging story.
There's a lot to love about Gotham Knights, especially when fighting or traversing the city, but a few hiccups do hold it back.
NHL 23 is a vast improvement from last year's entry, featuring better control on the ice, the inclusion of women in HUT, and so much more.
Marvel SNAP is a straightforward deck-builder, with simple mechanics and gorgeous card designs that'll keep you playing.
LEGO Bricktales is puzzler that takes you back to the early days of LEGO, when the freedom to build want you want took centre stage. There're plenty of opportunities to build, explore, and bask in the gentle humour that we could all do with a little more of.
PGA Tour 2K23 features tight controls for those who want to master every swing, and does enough to bring players in from the last entry.
Life is Strange Arcadia Bay Collection features two great games, but the visuals leave a little to be desired. The story of Max and Chloe still hits you hard, but overall, it's let down by various texture and animation issues.
Wayward Strand provides a poignant reminder that life is fragile, but within its delicate boundaries, we have a gift unlike anything else. The residents are all interesting thanks to great writing and a solid cast, and when you're done, you'll be left feeling a deep sense of respect for the elderly.
