Unravel isn't a bad game on any level but it can be frustrating and the margin of error is not very forgiving for some of the puzzles. Nonetheless, it does have its moments of glory which did keep me interested and motivated to finish the game. Graphically, it's a beautiful looking title on the PlayStation 4 but at times it is hampered by the puzzle mechanics but its story without words is a combination of melancholia and hope.
XCOM 2 is hard proof true strategy games are still in high demand, blending satisfying old-school strategic turn-based gameplay with cinematic flourish.
The Little Ones is light on actual children but heavy on despair. An emotional insight into the impacts of war on civilians, but not a substantial expansion on the original release.
I recommend this game, it has a lot of value and hours of gameplay that all should enjoy. The skill level is not too hard for anyone to get in and get involved, and the graphics should delight all involved. Other than the slow combat, this game rings true of the skill that TT games make and I look forward to more adventures with them in various LEGO universes soon.
Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders is a satisfying point-and-click whodunit adventure with plenty of puzzles.
[A]s an eternally smug PC owner, I'm proud to say nabbing Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC is clearly the best course of action. It's everything the old Tomb Raider games were and now so much richer, more detailed, more involved, more dramatic, and just way more fun. It's also just as enjoyable to watch being played as it is to play itself – a true interactive movie.
Nostalgia with a visual upgrade but gameplay stagnation.
Too many role-playing games are let down by average or mediocre combat - Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen isn't one of them.
If you enjoyed Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China and hankering for more of the same, then India definitely delivers on that level and if you missed the previous game but enjoy some classic platforming with a next-gen twist, this is definitely a title you should check out. The gameplay is sturdy, the graphics mirror painted art and audio create an enjoyable adventure (albeit short) through another part of the Assassin's Creed franchise. In terms of replay value and once you've completed the main game, the title does give the player more challenging modes to complete the game again and fine-tune your assassin skills.
Although King's Quest Chapter 2 – Rubble Without A Cause is lacking the wonder of the first episode, it did have some nice moments such as old King Graham and his grandchildren plus some very nice graphics as he explores the labyrinth of the Goblins. I'm really looking forward to see how the next episode pans out, particularly with the character development of Graham.
Overall, the game is not "terrible" but it just isn't for me, Game of Thrones fell short….The Walking Dead from the same company was much better due to the well-executed storyline that is used in the game. Game of Thrones has great voice acting, which was the only thing that caught my eye, but again there were too many flaws that just didn't appeal to me as much. If you are the fan of the series, whether you read the novels, watch the TV show, or both, I highly encourage you to play this game, if you have not read or watch either, do not expect this game to peak your interest in the series as it did not do the same for me, but I just don't believe that anyone who has no knowledge of this series will enjoy the game.
Rainbow Six: Siege has a lot of enjoyment to offer but it's hamstrung in some ways by a lack of variety. With only three gameplay modes on offer – one of them barely qualifying- and 11 maps at launch, I imagine that things could get stale pretty quickly despite the dynamic quality of the Siege multiplayer matches.
Massive open-world JRPG with astounding exploration but some pacing and storyline issues.
Yo-Kai Watch is no Pokémon clone but rather its own unique game that gives the player a sturdy combat system with some great Japanese RPG elements thrown into the mix. It's also a well-designed game that really allows you to explore this colourful world as you solve quests and discover new Yo-Kai for your collection.
Just Cause 3 is over-the-top, dumb fun, and incredibly beautiful to boot—when it all eventually loads, of course.
Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star is a click your way through several absurd, linear stories about pigeons.
Shows traditional challenges found common in retro shoot 'em up side scrolling games are still a blast to play.
Coast Guard is strongest when it is doing ship operations and after that, it tends to get bogged down in a quagmire of oddity.
Whether choosing to play it in random or chronological order, neither of these options make it a compelling story.
Dysentery is the least of your concerns.
