All in all, Crime Boss: Rockay City is a game that falls short of its potential due to various issues. While the idea of building a criminal empire through heists and territory wars with a variety of characters is compelling, the poor gunplay and writing detract from the overall experience. Even the star-studded voice cast can't save it from being a disappointment.
All in all, Concord feels like a missed opportunity that arrived far too late. It’s as if the game is trying to recapture the magic of a bygone era, but the spark just isn’t there.
It’s great to see Virtua Fighter back on PC, but let’s not kid ourselves: it’s not the dazzling new entry fans were hoping for. Missing modes, a lack of an in-depth single-player mode, and a general feeling of being “good enough” rather than revolutionary will likely disappoint the diehards. But if you’re after a dependable, no-frills fighter, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. delivers exactly that. It’s a cheap and cheerful way to experience the core of Virtua Fighter while we wait for the next big thing in the franchise. If you’re into pure combat without the fluff, this is a solid, if somewhat dated, port.
Fairy Tail: Beach Volleyball Havoc is best enjoyed as a fleeting party game, one that provides a few laughs and memorable moments with friends, but probably won't hold your attention for the long haul.
Skull And Bones' sailing and naval combat are solid and well-made from the get-go. Unfortunately, it isn't enough to carry the entire game and its insane "quadruple A" price tag. Whether it's the lacklustre storytelling, the shallow gameplay mechanics, or the uninspired multiplayer, there's no denying that Skull and Bones fails to live up to the hype. And as players lower their anchors and bid farewell to this ill-fated voyage, one can't help but wonder what could have been if only Ubisoft's higher-ups and management had dared to chart a course less travelled.
In the end, KIBORG is like a surprisingly well-built treadmill—it works fine, it’ll keep you busy, but after a while, you’ll start wondering if there’s a better machine next door. It’s not a disaster, it’s not a triumph—it’s just another face in the roguelite crowd. Fun, for a bit. Memorable? Not quite.
While it’s not the grand, heart-pounding journey we hoped for, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is still a decent adventure for those craving a quick escape into the world of archaeology, bad guys, and ancient relics.
For someone who typically doesn’t dabble in platformers, Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn was a challenging yet rewarding experience for myself. I won’t lie—it pushed my buttons in more ways than one, and I might not rush back to it anytime soon. Still, the game does a great job of honouring its origins while inviting a new wave of (possible sado-masochistic) players to join in.
Upon completing Sand Land, I'm left with fond memories of its narrative depth, cinematic moments, and the occasional tedious journey. Engaging with the manga version proves far more enjoyable; the adaptation could have reached greater heights, suggesting ambitious goals that fell short in execution.
Togges is a 3D platformer with a focus on exploration but lacks real instruction and direction. Although you're free to do as you please, you just don't know where to start.
I'd say The Chant is a very solid entry into the survival horror genre, especially for someone like me who isn't really a big fan of the horror genre in all media. The acting is strong, and the crafting elements help to bring a sense of defencelessness to Jess. The story kept me enthralled, and The Gloom did its job of keeping me on my toes and giving me that horror game experience. The Chant may not look as good as it perhaps should on current gen, but the griminess of the island acted as an eerie backdrop to what first seemed like paradise.
Detective Dotson is a glorified fetch quest wearing the hat of a detective game—but it’s also more than that. It’s a vibrant slice of modern Indian life stitched together with humour, heart, and post-it notes. It’s a little bit janky, a lot wholesome, and totally endearing.
Promise Mascot Agency is messy, mind-melting, and mechanically shallow—but it’s also charming, creative, and unlike anything else you’ve played this year. It’s not a masterclass in design, but it is a masterclass in commitment to chaos. If you’re after a serious management sim, look elsewhere. But if the idea of babysitting a violent lemon mascot while flying a haunted kei-truck across rural Japan sounds like your cup of sake, this might just be your new obsession.
[...] South of Midnight is a visually stunning, atmospheric game with a great concept, but falls short in execution. The story and setting? Brilliant. The mechanics? Solid but underdeveloped. The boss fights? Repetitive. The length? Shorter than expected. It’s one of those games that could’ve been truly special with just a bit more depth and variety. But as it stands, it’s a good game—just not a great one.
For years, BLEACH fans have begged for a proper game. Something that captures the flashiness, depth, and pure anime nonsense of the series. And while Rebirth of Souls isn’t perfect—it lacks ranked play, crossplay, and a truly great story mode—it’s still the best BLEACH game we’ve ever had.
Spectre Divide brings an innovative twist to the tactical FPS scene with its dual-body mechanic and modular gameplay options. For those who enjoy deep strategy and tactical depth, this game provides plenty of opportunities to flex those mental muscles. However, the steep learning curve and slower-than-expected pace might frustrate players looking for a more fast-paced experience.
For those seeking a break from the glossy realism of AAA titles and a plunge into the irreverent waters of indie gaming, Anger Foot offers a refreshing dip. It’s not flawless, but its flaws are forgivable in the face of its infectious energy and commitment to delivering a visceral if occasionally vexing, experience.
XDefiant offers a refreshing hybrid of traditional and hero shooter elements, reminiscent of classic Call of Duty with its own unique twists. However, the limited content and customisation options make it clear that the game needs further refinement and expansion to truly stand out in the competitive FPS market.
Overall, Modern Warfare III seems to follow the narrative tone of Modern Warfare 2019 more closely than it does that of Modern Warfare II. Regarding gameplay, I'd hesitate to make a similar claim as the gameplay in this instalment stands out in its uniqueness compared to past versions. Despite this, I found the story quite enjoyable and eagerly anticipate its continuation.
I can't fault Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged too much. It's like an arcade racer straight out of your childhood dreams. It nails that feeling of being a kid and creating wild racecourses for your toy cars. Plus, the customisation options are off the charts. The quick races and the variety of modes keep things from getting stale, and before you know it, you're boosting your way to glory. I might not be a hardcore Hot Wheels fan, but the sheer imagination, speed, and customisation in this game totally reeled me in.
