Sam Comrie's Reviews
A lot has been riding on Gotham Knights' shoulders but the wait has paid off dividends. Performance issues aside, its gripping story and gorgeous open-world enforce it as a confident successor to the Arkham franchise. Gotham Knights is a robust co-op adventure that embraces the Dark Knight's world wholeheartedly.
Despite its lack of cooperative or PVP gameplay, I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that this is an essential game for 2022. Blending two opposing styles into an expertly executed bullet ballet, Rollerdrome's future is anything but dystopian.
Evil Dead: The Game captures the grit and grime of Sam Raimi's beloved horror franchise, beginning with a bright start for the months ahead.
Ultimate it's going to come down to how much you love the Grand Theft Auto franchise, as Rockstar's next-gen upgrade is purely aesthetic and performance-based. Just like it was in 2013, it's Grand Theft Auto 5.
For every beatdown you take and every run lost to the ether, Sifu always maintains there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sloclap has crafted an astounding, rewarding experience, one that serves up engrossing combat and intricate visual / music direction to accompany each fist of fury. Even with only five levels to beat, this doesn’t mean there isn’t any nuance or sense of scope to them. Every level is filled with vibrant atmospheres that sell the notion of a kung-fu adventure. Sifu’s narrative shortcomings are unfortunate, but overall this is a tapestry of martial arts excellence. Is Sifu the best kung-fu game ever made? It wouldn’t be a stretch to think so.
Even in the face of its complicated controls and sparse features, DotEmu exceeds at making Windjammers 2 a retro adrenaline blast.
With a story that lets die-hard fans and casual players get in on the fun, without feeling shortchanged, the experience is an exceptional pickup for the Switch. Grab your web-shooters or your Vibrainium shield. It’s time to assemble.
Deathloop is Arkane operating at the height of their powers, offering up a simpler remodeling of their past approaches in a stylish, refined package. Upheld by virtuous world design, punchy combat, and a thrilling spin on the current time-loop trend, Deathloop deserves its place in the echelons of first-person-shooter greatness.
These games are nearly right at home on a handheld, at least in regards to portable ninja madness.
Chivalry 2 is extraordinarily blood soaked fun, that can be enjoyed solo or with your merry band of knights. Featuring some of the most addictive combat in any game from the last few years, hours of gameplay are guaranteed to be granted upon entry to these vastly enormous maps. Pick up your sword and fight.
SuperCross 4 takes the prospect of a sport with a fervent fan-base and doubles down on making the gameplay a divisive introduction to the franchise for newcomers. It isn’t quite inside the distinctions of a simulator, but it is the closest this franchise has come yet to that notion. Your mileage may vary in this regard, but the mud and sand covered competition of Monster’s latest installment are ready to test you.
The game absolutely shines when it comes to its core feature of crafting… It’s a welcome challenge with solid and addictive gameplay
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a zombie fun house, bringing back good old fashioned co-op fun.
