SA Gamer's Reviews
As a whole, Dragon Quest Heroes II is a good game with enough fanfare to keep old fans happy, but enough new and engaging content to make sure newcomers don’t feel alienated
A formula with this much potential and so many elements to it that hits the right nostalgic notes, I sincerely hope that we get to witness the launch of Talos II in the near future.
I do feel that the series is going in the right direction and if there is ever a Sniper Ghost Warrior 4 it could be a worthy opponent for its long-time rival Sniper Elite.
Nioh: Dragon of the North can be extremely frustrating if you’re not prepared for it, but if you really liked the main game, and did everything it had on offer, then this will definitely be for you.
Three factions might seem very light when considering the vast armies in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but considering you need to learn every unit counter as quickly as possible, you will be glad you are only learning three factions and not more.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might be a port, but thanks to the improvements and upgrades it is by far the best kart racer to date and should powerslide straight into your Switch library.
If you fancy another try at a Limbo style game and have a penchant for some weird and nightmarish designs, Little Nightmares is definitely worth a buy.
Persona 5 is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. There is nothing more I can say.
Can you go from loving to loathing something in two hours? Apparently you can, if it overstays its welcome.
Considering this game was originally released 4 years ago, it has cleaned up nicely, and its open world is still vast and impressive, even when compared to more recent LEGO games.
Aaero is a love letter to fans of classics like Panzer Dragoon, as well as more recent obscure entries like Rez. It’s a relentless excursion into electronic dance music, fusing dubstep and drum ‘n’ bass with demanding-yet-addictive gameplay.
For players who are after the Banjo Kazooie experience this is exactly what you’ll get and you’ll find much to love. It stays true to that formula and has the DNA etched over everything and anything in the game. However, if you’re accustomed to modern platformers, the likes of Jak & Daxter, Ratchet and Clank or just about any Super Mario title, then this might be embedded too far back in history for it to create a lasting impact in the modern world.
MLB The Show 17 is a good load of fun. It has a lot of content on offer and can keep you busy for quite some time.
All-in-all the game really felt more like an expansion rather than a sequel and yet this is not to say that it is a bad thing. If you really enjoyed the first Yo-Kai Watch then you'll definitely enjoy this one.
It’s an entertaining and brutal game with some funny moments, like hearing your burly giant slayer mumble about his fingers numbing in the cold weather. I guess even vikings get cold.
In the end Styx: Shards of Darkness isn’t a terrible game. Sadly several elements stop it from reaching the greatness it could have had, like bad platforming, AI getting stuck during patrols, a story that doesn’t engage and wobbly voice acting all keep Styx in the firmly good section
Vroom in the night sky has some incredibly painful issues that sour the overall experience, but what makes this upsetting is that there is a totally competent game here that just needed a little more added to it.
Flatout 4: Total Insanity is not perfect, but it is an incredible amount of fun. If you’re dying for a bit of oldschool arcade racing it’ll provide it in bucket loads, just know that you’ll see the same tracks over and over again and that the crazy AI will drive you to the brink of insanity.
The final mission of the game evokes a sense of scale and awe that punches home that this is Mass Effect.
No fun is lost online or offline and you will truly feel like a Tier 1 operator as you tear through Bolivia kicking ass, for me that is a Mission Accomplished
