Daniel Waite's Reviews
Sophstar is a casual shmup that is addictive and fun. With 6 game modes and 6 difficulty settings, this will keep you busy. What's more, the never-ending bullet hell will test your patience and reactions.
Saint Kotar is a grim, sinisiter, and dank point-and-click title. With a strange and slow plot, and many twists and turns, it can be tough to swallow. However, with time and patience, you'll enjoy a horror game that is eerie and story-rich.
Unusual Findings is a point-and-click adventure title that is filled with nostalgia. With old-school references and wonderfully pixelated graphics, this is one crazy story that shouldn't be missed.
Last Days of Lazarus is a bizarre but wonderful story that is captivating and creepy. However, the action is held back by bugs and a short story. What's more, the heavy reliance on religious images may be off-putting.
New Tales from the Borderlands is a fantastic narrative-focused title. Help each of the underdogs to fulfil their potential and forget their pasts.
Gotham Knights is a story-rich open-world RPG. Furthermore, it wonderfully captures the grim and seedy nature of Gotham City. Batman has died, so 4 DC superheroes must fill the void. By exploring the vast open landscape, you'll stop crime, solve problems, and avenge Batman's demise.
Mad Streets is a crazy physics-based arena brawler. With an array of levels to tackle, massive fighters to take down, and ridiculous tasks to overcome, it'll keep you busy. Furthermore, it is great fun with friends and this makes the lack of an online community a real disappointment.
Kid Ball Adventure is a straightforward retro platformer with a simple approach. Bounce across 100 stages, avoid the obstacles, and defeat the dragon. However, this is easier said than done, as precision is necessary and luck is a must.
Smash Boats Waterlogged Edition is a fun and colourful nod to arcade gaming. The arena-based combat is simple to understand and will entertain you throughout. What's more, childish humour is apparent in every chapter. Though it lacks depth, the casual approach makes it attractive and moreish.
Why pizza? is a bizarre platform puzzle title that is full of surreal images. Its plot makes no sense, but its action is familiar and enjoyable. Excellent aesthetics and smooth controls ensure that you'll fall for its charms while loving the madness of each level.
Gravitar: Recharged is a fantastic modern take on an arcade classic. With an excellent challenge mode and cooperative action, this will keep you playing. Furthermore, the arcade mode is endless, tough, and enjoyable.
Deep Diving Adventures is a wonderfully relaxing and interesting diving simulator. Undertake many quests, upgrade your equipment, and avoid every predator. The inclusion of the DLC adds longevity and makes this great value for money.
Industria blends dated architecture with cold and mysterious futuristic structures. Its gameplay doesn't break the mould but it is well thought out and enjoyable throughout. Fans of FPS and adventure titles will feel right at home playing this unusual game.
DC League of Super-Pets is the perfect title for younger gamers. Its simple approach, colourful aesthetics, and catchy one-liners will be a hit. On the other hand, older gamers and parents will shut off to its mundane and repetitive ways.
Arsonist Heaven is a fantastic pixelated side-scrolling platformer. Manage your resources and defeat every enemy that you encounter. Its eclectic blend of mechanics makes it unique and moreish. Furthermore, it isn't for the faint of heart. Accordingly, every stage will test your patience and abilities as you attempt to survive and kill every enemy.
The Tale of Bistun is a wonderful mythological tale. The interesting characters, booming narration, and excellent plot are thoroughly enjoyable. Moreover, the excellent aesthetics and intelligent controls compensate for the minor shortcomings. In short, it is a great title that'll capture your attention from beginning to end.
MX Vs ATV Legends is a fast racing title with a familiar story. With plenty of modes to select from and an array of custom options, you'll be kept busy. Though the gameplay is repetitive it never feels mundane or tiresome. This is thanks to the adrenaline-fuelled action and variety of machines on offer.
With many games trying to replicate the enthralling and addictive nature of WipEout, it’s understandable that many will fail miserably. Fortunately, Pacer isn’t one of these titles. With many well designed levels and modes, lots of weapons to choose, and 5 different vehicle types, there are plenty of options to make everyone happy. A fair but challenging difficulty curve will keep you interested from beginning to end, as does the wonderful graphical and audio presentation. I loved my time with this and recommend that you buy it here! Choose your ship, customise it to your liking, and make each of the sponsors happy. You must race for money, gold medals, but most importantly pride.
I really enjoyed what Fiction Factory Games have created. The many gameplay choices allow you to feel in control of how the story plays out. A well written and nicely paced script ensures that you don’t get lost amongst a variety of subplots and its many characters. Creating your personality was a nice touch, and how this influenced others was an interesting gaming choice. Arcade Spirits won’t tick all the boxes for the fans of the genre, but its inoffensive approach means it should be added to your library, so buy a copy here! Create your character, download IRIS and see where life will take you in this colourful and fun Visual Novel.
The gaming world is getting better and better with delivering touching tales and emotive plots. Shady Part of Me is a prime example of an interesting mechanic mixed with an excellent story. You may be disappointed, confused, or annoyed with the outcome. Don’t let it tarnish the journey you have taken. With a distinct art style, sombre music, and well-delivered pace, I can’t help but recommend you try this. Buy a copy here! Darkness and light must come together to help you escape your personal prison. Grab your shadow and solve the problems you face!
