Gareth Brading's Reviews
Murder at Castle Nathria is another strong expansion to the now venerable Hearthstone, but it doesn't address the game's core problems.
Afflicted with some atrocious performance problems, Jett predominantly left me feeling frustrated rather than awed.
If you missed Edge of Eternity on PC, the console versions are a decent way of experiencing it.
Long-time fans of Team Ninja’s titles should certainly enjoy all that Rise of the Ronin has to offer, but others may want to wait for a few more patches before diving in.
If you lower your expectations, Redfall is decent, mindless fun. But as a game from Arkane Studios, it’s a disappointment.
It’s worth seeing for the unique setting, but its brevity, lack of character and worldbuilding leave The Plague Doctor of Wippra feeling rather underbaked.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a classic example of feature creep, resulting in an interesting but extremely buggy experience.
Disaster Report 4 might be technically lacking in a lot of areas, but it is stuffed full of heart.
It’s not a Royal Flush, but Grand Casino Tycoon does a good job of showing you the truth behind the saying “the house always wins”.
Carmen Sandiego is broadly decent, but it feels like it should have gone a step further, both in its throwback homage to the original game, and in its modernization efforts.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos has a dazzlingly beautiful art style, but struggles to make the moment to moment gameplay feel fun.
While Deep Beyond is gorgeous to look at, the story it tells is slight and superficial.
Starfield is an enormous and impressive experience, but it struggles to make its myriad parts feel like a cohesive whole.
Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 skews rather too close to simply redoing the original game again but in a futuristic setting.
If you’re in the mood for some over-the-top action and can stomach some repetitive shooting, Gungrave G.O.R.E. will satisfy that itch.
Biomutant sags under the weight of its various disparate elements, leading to a game which looks gorgeous, but is frustratingly mediocre.
If you’ve the patience of a saint to be at the whim of the gods, Gods Will Fall is your kind of game.
Kosmokrats has a funny, well-written story and a great soundtrack, but the somewhat frustrating puzzle design and control can occasionally hamper your enjoyment.
For aficionados of stealth platformers, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is certainly easy to recommend.
Highwater has some good writing and atmosphere, but the light exploration and turn-based battles don’t feel particularly engaging.
