A plodding and predictable 4X strategy game that's relaxing in its own way, but rarely challenging.
Beautiful combat livens up Overload's tedious levels.
A fighter with a great roster and exciting brawls, let down by an undercooked singleplayer component.
Involved, spectacular, space battles packaged into satisfying campaigns, and great fan service too.
Three great characters and a beautiful, fluid combat system make this a must-buy for hack-and-slash fans.
A brutal, uncompromising action game with sensational sword combat. From Software has done it again.
A gruelling mystery game that smothers its big ideas with dour survival mechanics.
There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy. As I look back on some screenshots as Pippin laser blasts a poor marauder into a pile of dust, I realise that's what The Outer Worlds is to me. If you meet it on those terms, I think you'll enjoy it.
Technical issues marr an otherwise slick adventure. A must for Star Wars fans.
A fine superhero SWAT team tactics game smothered by a little too much admin.
The sight of a gang leader brutally shotgunning several enemy goons is only improved by some sick swing high-hat hits on an old fashion kit while horns parp happily. In these moments Empire Of Sin is a world I want to live in, but ultimately not a world I really want to manage.
Dull warfare mars a fascinating battle for supremacy during the late Bronze Age collapse.
