A special game that may in nature not be loved by all but between its cast, humor and excellent setting, developer BTF have truly made something special here.
It's crazy how a simple concept such as a box making extensions of itself can be manifested into an artfully unique package.
...With some fixes the game’s aspirations may yet shine through and make this at least a decent campy exploration in the horror genre some time in the future. For now at least, players can only help but wonder what could’ve been.
...a celebration of 80's horror nostalgia and has enough intriguing elements to make it worthwhile.
There's so much love poured into this game. It's a game well worth exploring if you're looking for something that just celebrates games' iconography over the years.
Finji has done well in introducing a wide variety of choices in strategy games, and of course some cute cuddly companions.
The Touryst is a secret indie gem that I really hope will gradually make some waves.
In short, Super Crush KO is a powerful and addictive brawler that makes you feel like you’re in a music video. There’s plenty going on for it and the clear influences never end. You’ll love the art style that looks like it’s straight out of a Cartoon Network show, the simple but effective pop soundtrack, or maybe even the surprising and delightful queer story. So why not settle in, have a blast and go pursuing your feline friend?
Skellboy is a game that served as a brilliant throwback to an era of gaming I simply missed. It’s bright, colourful and oozing with an endless amount of charm. Anyone that is a fan of classic Nintendo RPGs like Paper Mario or Super Mario 64 should definitely add this to your Switch library. Get slashing and get adventuring, folks!
After a long journey, Media Molecule has finally made it. Dreams is out with its full launch, with what’s assumed to be much support to follow. I’m now completely enamoured with the game and can’t wait to see what it looks like in a year, two, or hell, hopefully even ten.
There’s a lot to love and adore in Final Fantasy VII Remake and I’m grateful for all of it, the good and the bad.
...Iffy character designs and bizarre world lore aside, Trials of Mana is a competent remade journey I’m glad I experienced.
In short, Minecraft Dungeons is a basic, albeit competent addition to the dungeon-crawler genre. Yes, it’s a glorified new way to use the Minecraft skin but it works.
If there’s anything Maneater will be remembered for, it’s the fun and wacky nature that comes with it.
When pen comes to paper, Liberated unfortunately doesn’t work in the way I so desperately wanted it to...
...one of the slowest and painful games to play this year.
I was hoping Iron Man VR would be the quintessential, possible swan song for the peripheral device. It isn’t quite, but it’s still a solid, popcorn-like story romp.
All in all, I’m glad I got to spend time with Maid of Sker. Aesthetics, themes and those haunting siren songs that the game explores will no doubt stay with me for a long time to come. If you’re a horror fan, looking for a fun scare, would you kindly visit Sker Hotel?
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is quite an okay example of a game being made out of a television show. That being said I don’t think there’s a world where it could’ve been anymore than that. It’s a good introduction to the tactics genre and has some neat levels, but that’s about it. It’s decent, that’s all.
It’s definitely an essential for those that love their PSVR devices. So, why not chuck that headset on, get shooting, blasting, dodging and sweating?
