Britt Roberts's Reviews
Yes, this is a game that you’ll dip in and out of for quick sessions, but what did you expect from a fast food racer?! The only left to do now is buy it...do you want fries with that?
The Dog Man franchise seems a fun and far-reaching thing, but this particular video game entry in its overall franchise feels a tad overpriced, and the basic game play and jaunty music just cannot make up for that fiscal discrepancy. Absolutely wait for a sale on this one, if it is a game that you feel you must play.
It’s a game that’s too uninvolved to sit and fully engage with, and not engrossing enough to boot up and check in when playing on the Xbox, without the instancy and casualness of mobile play. I’d be interested to see what developer TopCog comes up with next, as I feel there’s a lot of talent and promise there, but on console, Tap Wizard 2 doesn’t quite click for me.
Dreamcore is a very unique and memorable game, but I can’t say that it resonated with me personally. An interesting experience that I can imagine will connect with some folks, but in the long-term,, it feels it needs a little more going on to truly capture the imagination and unlock the true level of horror and discomfort that can be taken from this quite exciting sub-genre.
I hope a lot of folks connect with Neon Blood in a way that I sadly couldn’t, as there really is a lot to enjoy here, but the choices in gameplay mechanics did wear me down in the end.
This is a fundamentally sound game that is fun for short blasts and is perfectly priced – but lacks that little something extra to make it a strike.
A wonderfully simple tale that is too simplistic for adults and too overlong for kids, Snowman Story feels a little bit adrift in its message, but is nonetheless full of festive joy.
I hope that this game finds its audience – perhaps not at the current full price, admittedly – but nonetheless, there’s a little bit of magic here that will be quite a trip down memory lane for a lot of folks.
This is unfortunately an ever-worsening series of games that puts performance at the bottom of the pile – and at this point, I’m not even sure what the developers are aiming for, because it certainly isn’t a functioning game. Aerosoft have been releasing game simulation games since 2013, and the fact that this is their output over a decade later is quite frankly, embarrassing.
Whilst it’s a shame that there isn’t a two-player mode to get stuck into – something that game almost feels designed for – the many neat touches such as the ability to shoot bullets out of the air, swap guns with fallen enemies on the fly that act as a free reload, and get to grips with your dodge-roll as you weave through the waves of cowboys, taking them stylishly out, timing your reloads and nailing the use of your abilities all add up to make this an incredibly fun title at a frankly preposterously low price.
One of the gaming highlights of the year (2024), and an absolute delight of a family experience. Sebastian would approve.
This is a little gem to be discovered and celebrated, with the balancing of narrative and wordplay making for a unique little experience.
A great party game that is suitable for all the family, Sugoroku Casino Party is a fun, well-designed experience that I can imagine will be at home on my Switch for quite some time!
Whilst the narrative presentation and audio are solid, backed up by a suitably swashbuckling atmosphere, the awkward meld of cumbersome interface and too much being left to chance means that Flint: Treasure of Oblivion unfortunately never quite finds its sea legs.
There’s a neat idea here, and I hope that k148 Game Studio hones in on the good and trims some of the bad, as they could have a niche audience of keen detectives out there, someday.
With well over twenty hours of gameplay, a rich amount of historical lore and a tasteful remastering, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is an absolute must for fans of this series.
The level of challenge and sheer specificity in the controlling of each event means that this is unlikely to win any new fans over, but as a collection of titles from the C64 heyday, it could be a treasure trove of gold (medals) to some.
A glorious collection of classics
