AusGamers's Reviews
One of the year's better action games and well worth some time in its scorching sun.
Another great Holiday release to add to your (likely) growing pile.
It feels like you are the sole survivor in a post apocalyptic USSR where the cold war turned nuclear hot.
And necessary.
There's plenty here to love, but you will need patience and you will need resolve, because the orcs and their player-defined society is a thing of, as I said earlier, unnatural beauty, it's just a shame the rest of the game suffers in their expanded development wake.
It rewards players in ways that we rarely get to see, and even when it's over it begins anew and invites you to keep exploring, keep discovering, and keep reaching for the moon.
And when the day comes that we can witness all the wonderful detail and beauty of Polyphony Digital's creation, via watching a replay of a crash-free online race set at night along the rain-soaked roads of Tokyo, this could become something truly special.
You just need to have the patience to sit on the pot for a while, before you can decide to shit and move on (to awkwardly mess up an old saying).
Because after playing through it, going to a real park or a real beach filled with real people has never sounded better.
Absolutely worth your investment.
Overall, a good but not great episode.
Clever new mechanics and glorious new ways to die are gradually introduced as the game begins to ramp up the difficulty and complexity of each level. Before long your ninja is wall-sliding and dodging lasers like a boss.
The art is something the videogaming landscape has never seen before and is, arguably, worth the price of admission alone. But we come for the art, and stay for the challenge. And boy, does Cuphead have challenge in spades.
Exhilarating in every sense of the word.
In the case of Jettomero: Hero of the Universe, either the presentation strikes a chord hidden deep inside you or it doesn't. If it's the former then of course it's an experience worth checking out. If it's the latter then, well, it might feel as empty as the space between all the different planets Jettomero travels to.
It's fun for a quick bash sure, but for similar expenditure you could be playing Forza 7, Project Cars 2, or the literally billions of other racing games on the market.
Proving that a sequel can take a very different perspective, showcase a new part of the world, and be all the better for it.
And I love it. BUY GAME.
A no brainer for fans of the series, and a great way for newcomers to see what all the fuss is about.
I found a great deal of enjoyment with Project Cars 2. The graphics and sound especially won me over. And whilst the struggles, trials, and tribulations of such a demanding simulator may have left me shaking with rage, the sheer exhilaration I felt after hitting a series of apexes so perfectly, culminating in a podium finish, was sweet recompense.
