Gareth Brading's Reviews
Möbius Front ’83 is different from Zachtronics usual outings, but it doesn’t entirely create an experience that feels both strategic and rewarding.
Kosmokrats has a funny, well-written story and a great soundtrack, but the somewhat frustrating puzzle design and control can occasionally hamper your enjoyment.
Watch Dogs: Legion is another competent Ubisoft open-world adventure with plenty to do, and while it manages to communicate its message better than anticipated, it can’t manage to fully commit to it.
Iron Harvest is a decidedly old-school RTS with some modern trappings, with a bombastic main campaign with a surprisingly well written story.
Windbound is fine for a short pleasure cruise, but you're unlikely to want to complete the full voyage.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a solid game, severely hampered by technical and control limitations on consoles.
Crusader Kings III is a truly great sequel; a fascinatingly deep and rewarding game with options to make it easier than ever for newcomers to get acquainted.
The Revenant Prince is an interesting fusion of styles and themes, with a very unique story underpinning the experience.
Maid of Sker doesn't break the mold of traditional survival horror, but it executes its formula with proficient aplomb.
Disaster Report 4 might be technically lacking in a lot of areas, but it is stuffed full of heart.
If you’ve been put off from trying a JRPG fearing they are a complex timesink, Ys: Memories of Celceta is a fantastic place to dispel those aspersions. It gives you an experience that feels meaningful and worthwhile.
Neversong doesn’t do anything incredibly different from games before it, but everything it does do it pulls off excellently.
You can create some beautiful and fun things in Dreams, but only a dedicated minority will have the energy and drive to actually do so.
Overall Warlords of New York is mainly more of the same, and although this isn’t a bad thing, it feels very safe.
Yakuza 0 is an excellent opening chapter to the mainline Yakuza series.
Mechwarrior 5 is a welcome return to form for the venerable series.
Lamplight City is an excellently crafted adventure, and well worth experiencing for the opportunity to interact with a unique alternative world.
