Expansive's Reviews
Hatsune Miku is so much fun to get to grips with and will consume you if you allow it
Final Fantasy XV is one of the finest RPGs ever made
Steep is a diverse, fulfilling game that does suffer from its own ambition
Sadly, Space Hulk Deathwing is very much a one-trick pony, a trick which others have done much, much better.
TWD Season 3 may end up being the best thing Telltale have ever done
The Last Guardian is the game we needed in 2016
Super Mario Maker 3DS isn’t definitive, but the exhilaration of making a Mario level wherever you are in the world is a pretty amazing thing, as is one of the best 2D Mario experiences in recent memory.
The Little Acre shows hugely positive signs for the future of the adventure genre on all platforms
The definitive edition of a classic, bogged down by technical hiccups and rebellious controls
Pokemon Sun and Moon is further proof that the 3DS may be the greatest gaming platform of the last decade
Darksiders Warmastered Edition is a masterclass on how to reinvigorate and rejuvinate a brand in the most remarkable way.
The Dwarves is a beardifully flawed game that is let down by numerous technical shortcomings
This is hands-down the most fun and enjoyment I’ve had all year and there’s no better modern experience on the market right now. The first ever perfect scoring game on Expansive.

What Killing Floor 2 offers is strong, co-operative team based fun that is as good as we’ve seen it on Playstation 4.
The Lost Morsel is a delightful addition to a truly scrumptious game, bolstered by some genuinely clever – if not blood-curdlingly irritating – level design
Silence may just be Daedalic’s finest hour and, minor gripes aside, is the modernisation of the adventure game we’ve all been waiting for.
Technical issues aside, Sports Bar VR is solid interactive fun with quirky elements that help it stay fresh and authentic at the same time.
Pixel Gear is proof that shooters can work well in VR, but it’s not a showcase title for that and is unlikely to totally convince naysayers of the possibilities either. That said, developers should take note of how well certain aspects have been accomplished and use them to craft finer experiences going forward.
