A budget action-RPG that is aggressively mediocre in almost every way
We hardly knew ye, BoxBoy. No, seriously, you should have called or something
Ghost Recon Wildlands utilises the tried and tested Ubisoft open-world formula, however the lacklustre story, bland characters and repetitive mission design means it never hits the heights it could have reached
The Ringed City feels like Hidetaka Miyazaki's send off to the Souls series. It's been a hell of a ride
Great combat and decent story ideas are largely squandered by a game that buckles under the weight of its technical flaws
Troll and I suffers from having champagne ambitions on a beer budget and is marred by a plethora of issues. Seriously subpar technical, design, narrative and gameplay elements make it a borderline insufferable experience, and as a result the game cannot be recommended to anyone at all, let alone at its AAA price
An evocative journey through fantasy, memory, tragedy, and everything in-between.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is well worth a try for anyone who enjoys a hack 'n' slashy dungeon crawler. It offers fun and interesting Norse-themed enemies with a simple (but effective!) range of player abilities coupled with an engaging enough combat system that keeps you thinking.
ash, dash, shoot and throw your way to victory in the best looking brawler since the last best looking brawler
Persona 5 is the definition of style and is a masterclass in how to make a good RPG. There’s nothing about it that doesn't make it stand out. The soundtrack is one of the best I’ve heard in a long time, the combat is simple yet surprisingly deep which allows for not only the game to be quite accessible, but it is also easy to pick back up.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a step forward for the series, however its myriad of issues means it fails to break the shackles of its predecessors
If you want a 90s game like how Kung Fury was an 80s movie, give Strafe a go. But if you want a more fleshed-out 90s game…just play a 90s game
I wasn’t quite expecting to enjoy the relatively small experience that is Little Nightmares as much as I did. It captured the clever puzzles that I loved from Limbo, while also having a great visual style that gives it a good sense of identity
AFL Evolution delivers fans the best AFL video game experience to date. Sadly, due its budget-related limitations, it's likely that only avid AFL fans will see past the shortcomings
Despite a stylish dystopian setting, the narrative within it flounders a bit, but the brilliantly brutal melee combat and interesting mechanics shine through in this excellent hardcore hack and slash RPG
Romance offers a challenging yet enjoyable strategy experience with a historical twist
With remasters being such a well-defined entity in today’s world, there is plenty of titans for Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers to measure up against, and sadly it falls short against all of them
This lovely-looking indie adventure game exhibits a wonderful sense of imagination and artistry and makes up for any shortcomings with a satisfying journey full of heart
Farpoint is an immersive and memorable experience...only when played with the AIM controller
A stellar campaign, fantastic mechanics and wealth of meaty content make Injustice 2 the new benchmark for fighting games
