God is a Geek's Reviews

3 / 10.0 - Earthfall
Jul 21, 2018

An uninspired, unoriginal Left4Dead clone that suffers from wishy-washy shooting and a lack of polish

8 / 10.0 - Danger Zone 2
Jul 21, 2018

It's great to see crashing as a major game mechanic back with a bang, Danger Zone 2 is the smash ‘em up we've been waiting for since PS2 era Burnout.

Whilst not the most challenging of games, it still offers fans of the show a chance to enjoy it in a different light. Gameplay can become laborious, though, and the world is more vacant than it should be.

9.5 / 10.0 - Just Shapes & Beats
Jul 18, 2018

Overall, this is everything I’ve wanted in a new music game. When Sound Shapes hit the Vita a long time ago, it instantly became my favourite music game and I’m glad to add a new entry to my favourite music games of all time list with Berzerk Studio’s Just Shapes & Beats. It is frustrating in some areas with the skill required but every second I’ve put into it has been more than worth it.

6 / 10.0 - Mugsters
Jul 17, 2018

Mugsters is a game for people who enjoy puzzle games without much flair or fanfare about them. The emphasis is clearly on the puzzles themselves and, despite a few stumbles, Mugsters proves to be an entertaining game that's easy to come back to and somewhat difficult to put down; and with a decent amount of levels, with multiple objectives in each, you'll be spending quite some time getting lost.

8.5 / 10.0 - Octopath Traveler
Jul 12, 2018

Octopath Traveler feels like a gem from the golden age of JRPGs that is something I've been craving with stunning visuals, music that deserves a vinyl release, and so much more.

6.5 / 10.0 - Bomb Chicken
Jul 12, 2018

Bomb Chicken is a fun little platformer that doesn't quite manage to balance its difficulty consistently throughout its entirety. Simple mechanics and an adorable fat hen do mean though that you'll have a good time for the most part.

Jul 11, 2018

Strap on your spelunking light and head into adventure with Captain Toad, you won't regret it.

Jul 10, 2018

Shining Resonance Refrain isn't a terrible game, it's just riddled with incredibly poor decisions which almost overshadow a great combat system.

Despite being nine years old, this remaster makes Red Faction Guerrilla look almost new. With its fantastic GeoMod 2.0 engine, the mayhem and destruction hasn't lost any of its appeal, though its PS4 Pro “high quality” mode is in dire need of optimisation.

Jul 9, 2018

The Spectrum Retreat is a solid puzzler, with an immersive narrative undercurrent adding depth and emotion to a genre where such things are normally lacking. Look past certain repetitive sections and you'll find a title offering value for money and an enjoyable challenge.

8 / 10.0 - Pode
Jul 6, 2018

While Pode can be frustrating in it's lack of communication it is a rather beautiful thing when experienced with others.

5.5 / 10.0 - Rainbow Skies
Jul 4, 2018

A disappointing sequel that fails to recapture the magic of its predecessor.

Jul 3, 2018

A poorly written game with gameplay that feels stiff and archaic, along with endless waves of enemies that take far too long to beat.

5 / 10.0 - The Crew 2
Jun 29, 2018

While it certainly improves upon the original in many ways, The Crew 2 is a step backwards overall. Its rubberband AI is some of the worst in recent memory and its version of America feels empty, not at all like Forza Horizon, the game it really wants to be.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lumines Remastered
Jun 28, 2018

Lumines Remastered is a welcome return of the stress-free puzzler, turn on, tune in and drop out.

Jun 28, 2018

With content from both movies, plus a tonne of extra stuff included in a fun open world, LEGO The Incredibles offers a great adventure for fans of both the Pixar franchise and LEGO games. For everyone else, it may show that the LEGO games are growing a bit tired.

9 / 10.0 - Wreckfest
Jun 28, 2018

Arcade racers are seeing a resurgence of late and Wreckfest fits nicely into that sub-genre, bringing banger racing into the limelight and turning it up to eleven. It may not be named Destruction Derby, but the spirit of the old Psygnosis classic is alive and well in Bugbear's latest racer.

8.5 / 10.0 - Hollow Knight
Jun 27, 2018

Overall, the game itself is a must play on Switch. It includes all content released post launch for the PC version right from the get go. Team Cherry has done a superb job and once those issues are ironed out, this will be a perfect version of a fantastic game.

It's a great way to get involved in TESO, and even though there's not a lot of new stuff it's still worth giving it a go.
