Stray is able to pull some innovative ideas in neat ways. It is creative in how you can run around these levels and interact with your environment. There does seem to be some curing factor in just roaming the world as a cat. Inadequate challenge and reward mixed with the limitations of the hardware may sour your experience, but the attention to detail, fun designs, interesting narrative, and fantastic music lighten these burdens. Save the future by protecting the past in this pawsome tail of a time!
Forgotten but Unbroken is an amazing turn based strategy game, with unrivaled WW2 realism
Another solid PSVR2 title and a fine addition to the Metro series.
A marvellous mind bending murder mystery that puts your deductive reasoning skills to the test.
Squingle is an excellent VR game that is great for VR experts, amateurs, or dabblers. It provides an exciting challenge and the core design of the game is entertaining. The multiple options the game has is a huge plus in providing comfort and connectivity with the player. Playing can get tiresome at points with the difficulty of the gameplay mixed with the style of the levels, causing unnecessary issues, but the mechanics are very enjoyable and the game makes it satisfying when completing your objective. Squingle is a must play VR experience and is the epitome of design in how to create a fully immersive VR game.
MechWarroir 5: Clans, is not a groundbreaking release, but instant action, lots of weapons and explosions are guaranteed.
Is Planet Coaster 2 going to replace the original as my go-to park builder just yet? No, but it almost definitely will in the future. It’s early days, and to discredit the work that Frontier has put into Planet Coaster 2 would do them a huge disservice – there simply aren’t any other studios out there that push out such quality games. It’s still a way off becoming the ultimate theme park builder, but if other Frontier titles are to go by, give it a little time (and a little polish) and Planet Coaster 2 will undoubtedly be the sandbox my dreams.
Although there is a little bit of grinding and the graphics can appear simple at times, there is enough content to motivate them and more importantly find enjoyment as they explore Singapore in order to stop the mayhem.
An original and compelling experience. No other game gives you so much excitement when opening the door.
The documentary footage is very interesting and if you think of the game as being kind of an interactive documentary/museum display that might be the best way to look at it. If you are looking at the collection as a way to collect all the variations of Tetris that have been released then you will be disappointed. It is a pretty hefty price for the somewhat limited number of Tetris games available (I mean there are a few here… but the difference between them is not huge and there are some stand out titles missing)… so perhaps wait for a sale? Good to grab for the history of Tetris and if you are happy to have a playable documentary then you should be happy.
As awkward as a game that Mario & Luigi: Brothership can be, you can't beat the entertainment you will have with it. The turtle-paced progression, quick gameplay gimmicks, and unwieldy concise worldbuilding can be disheartening, but when a game is fun…a game is fun! The extremely rewarding combat and layers of strategy is a blast. The graphics are impressive, the soundtrack is outstanding, and the moments where Luigi gets to shine are indubitably adorable. Anchors aweigh and cast off into the grand voyages of high-spirited and loquacious antics in Mario & Luigi: Brothership!
Old meets new in this gorgeous, JRPG that long time fans of the genre are bound to adore
A superb second chapter to Max's story that hints at big things for the wider Life is Strange universe.
LEGO Horizon Adventures is an excellent entry into both the LEGO and Horizon franchises. It adds enough new mechanics to the formula to make it feel like it's a part of both series, rather than one wearing the clothes of the other.
Altogether, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a return to form for a franchise that has struggled to regain its footing over the past several years. This is a strong entry in the franchise and deserves your full attention. Black Ops 6 certainly doesn't have the best campaign or multiplayer in the franchise, but it does what Call of Duty does best, and is thus in the upper echelon of the series. Now go raise hell in the Persian Gulf and nab those juicy killstreak combo medals to rejoice in Call of Duty returning into the book of good graces.
If you are a Sonic fan, this is a great collection of some classic levels with enhancements to bring them into the modern gaming age. With the addition of the Shadow campaign there's plenty of gameplay to be had. If you are new to the Sonic series, this is a great way to get a taste of different iterations and to learn a bit about the backstory of some of the characters. A great bit of fun and a stunning update on some familiar levels.
Broken Sword - Shadows of the Templar: Reforged is a great introduction to a classic point and adventure, or a lovingly recreated remaster for hardcore fans
Horizon Zero Dawn was one of my favourite games of the eighth console generation, and this new remaster only improves it further. Many of the changes present may seem subtle at first, and a lot of them are, but when compared to the original side-by-side, some of the changes are substantial, making this the definitive way to experience the game.
A creepy curio that survival horror fans should give some time to.
I quite like the approach of playing a human existing in this world of monstrous beasts. The sense of scale can be quite impressive and certainly makes you wonder just what it would indeed be like if these creatures existed. The general gameplay is fun enough, jumping about and breaking through walls to reach new areas. Combat is challenging enough but not too hard and even the frustrating monster events aren't so long that they are insurmountable. A decent bit of fun for a pretty reasonable price.
