There's not much in the way of story to talk about (a cat decides to play a video game of itself saving ducks, what more do you want?), but the gameplay is solid all round. The aesthetic is cheery and exciting, the music pumping and catchy, and there is enough content to keep you going.
After my experience with Dying Light at EGX 2014, I was very weary coming into the game at release, doubting whether the developers would make most of the extra time following the games most recent delay.
Following episode ones cliffhanger, The Lost Lords has a tough act to follow. In episode 2, we get to know more about the Forrester family, but are we in for more filler over action?
If you're a fan of teenage dramas like Rushmore, Juno and The Breakfast Club and happen to also have a love for games like The Walking Dead, Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain, this first episode is well worth your time. It's not a game that everyone will enjoy, despite it being easy for all to pick up but, for those it does click with, they won't be disappointed.
Finally the 4v1 multiplayer shooter Evolve is here! With the game being primarily developed for online play, just how much fun and life is there to be had in the game from the team that brought us the awesome Left 4 Dead series.
It's more like a tech demo than a fully-fledged game (albeit one with a decent, fully realised story). It shows that voice controls can benefit an RTS title, and that games that strive for that 'narrative experience' can also have compelling gameplay; but it never reaches its full potential.
Flame Over shows that the world of fire fighting can make for a very good game. It piles on the panic of battling a fire, but keeps it fun for all thanks to its style and presentation. If you have been wanting to attempt a roguelike game, you consider yourself a veteran or you just want to put out some fires and save some cats, then Flame Over is well worth picking up.
Are you a Devil May Cry or a fan of the Hack 'n' Slash genre that overlooked the initial the DmC reboot? Well if so (and even if you've played the original release), then don't miss out on this Definitive Edition!
The season is now complete for Resident Evil Revelations 2 and here we follow the tale of series veterans Claire Redfield and Barry Burton, only this time they both have friends to tag along with as they try to discover and escape the dark secrets of a mysterious island. But what will the latest instalment to the long running series bring?
Following the somewhat tension free episode two and the fact that all my choices were ignored from the first episode, I went into The Sword in the Darkness short of optimism. Thankfully my faith has been restored as episode three is showing clear signs that Telltale Games have reclaimed their mojo and their coming for the Iron Throne.
Life Is Strange is on an interesting path at the moment. Its second episode throws bigger decisions at you than the first and it will leave you racking your brain to try and figure out what the outcome will be in future episodes. Whatever may happen Life Is Strange is looking to be the kind of game that you will go back to more than once, just to see if you did something else would everything be OK.
White Night is likely to be a game that only the hardcore survival horror fans enjoy due to its old school survival horror design but it is definitely something worth considering if you fit the target audience. Just don't go into it expecting an all out action extravaganza. This is a slow and methodical game that, if you take your time with it, has a unique charm.
Now that the first two parts of Juli Kidman's DLC has been released with The Assignment and The Consequence, we bring you our review to the highly anticipated expansions to The Evil Within. With a new gameplay direction and side-story to tell, will this be a worthy addition to the game that helped revive the survival horror genre?
We've waited 4 years for a new Mortal Kombat to come along and now it's here. Microtransaction controversy aside, this could very well be the best game in the long running series to date. Now if you would "Get Over Here!"
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is the most fun I've had with a JRPG in years. The combat is something that feels different whilst still remaining familiar enough to not completely alienate the audience. The storytelling may not be the strongest and it is fairly outdated (for obvious reasons) graphically, but that doesn't matter when the core game is so strong.
Along comes State of Decay, the Year One Survival Edition. In an era where HD makeovers are the in thing, how will this zombie post-apocalyptic survival experience hold up on the new gen systems?
The continued development of Max and Chloe as a crime solving duo is handled in a way that really makes you care for both of them. Time travel and its consequences are also being explored brilliantly, with the weight of each decision requiring you to really think things through.
When Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a standalone prequel to the main game that promises nostalgic FPS fun and a huge dose of killing the evil Nazi scum!
The Executioner is the third and final expansion for the critically acclaimed The Evil Within and this time we assume control of the fearsome Keeper. With its first person and over powered approach, how will this DLC fair?
Episode four, Sons of Winter is arguably the most intense episode yet from Telltales Game of Thrones, from start to finish, you will be questioning every choice made and you will live to regret some in the heat of the moment. Business is certainly picking up in the game of politics.
