GameSpew's Reviews
An engrossing, well-paced send-off for a series that already tops the stealth genre, Dishonored doesn't get any better than Death of the Outsider.
It's not that Drive Girls is simply repetitive, it's just somehow boring. And that's not something I thought I'd say about a game where women transform into cars, fight bug-robots and lose their clothes.
Released at a budget price, Baja: Edge of Control HD isn't going to blow anyone away, but for racing game fans after some cheap off-road thrills it's certainly worth considering.
You might just have some fun playing Knack 2, but at the back of your mind there'll always be a sense of déjà vu alongside the incredulous thought that a sequel to Knack actually exists.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is an unfortunately lengthy adventure with some fantastic characters, an intriguing narrative, and a simple but enjoyable strategic battle system.
If you're looking for a puzzle game to entertain you for a few hours then look no further: Archaica: The Path of Light is what you need. In the end, it won't matter that its story is a little hard to follow because you'll be too engrossed in its puzzles to care.
If you're after a horror-tinged point and click adventure game you really can't go wrong with Tokyo Dark. The few control niggles you'll encounter will quickly be cast aside as you put your nose firmly to the floor searching for the next clue, which is surely the hallmark of a great mystery.
At its best, League of Evil is a simple but challenging ride suited to short bursts of play. One that controls exceptionally, but struggles to fully amaze where its peers do so elsewhere.
Every setback and every unexpected revelation will draw you further into Zero Time Dilemma's joyously convoluted world and make you all the more doggedly determined to uncover the truth.
Ultimately, because of Reaching for Petals' short running time, it feels more like a tech demo than an actual, fully-formed video game experience.
From the charm that oozes out of the hand drawn simple animations to the writing that is absolutely on point from start to finish, West of Loathing really is something quite special.
With only two episodes of Telltale Games' Guardians of the Galaxy left, once again I'm left excited as to where the story is headed next. Marvel's off-the-wall IP has made for a great source material for Telltale, allowing them to deliver what to me is one of their best series' to date. Hopefully the last two episodes will continue to deliver the goods.
If you're a fan of racing games, F1 2017 should be considered an essential purchase — even if, like me, you don't follow the sport. The racing is seat of your pants stuff just like it ought to be, and its career mode is simply phenomenal and offers tens of hours of in-depth gameplay. With F1 2017, Codemasters may have just made the best Formula 1 game ever, and I just can't wait to see how they aim to top it.
While it does have cracks on its surface, underneath those cracks, Songbringer sings a beautiful tune.
As an introductory episode to a three-part series, Awake absolutely nails it.
Warriors All-Stars has quickly become my favourite Warriors game of recent times.
It is, without a doubt, the best old-fashioned isometric RPG available on console, so if you have a hankering to get stuck into something you can really sink your teeth into, look no further.
Everybody's Golf on PlayStation 4 is the best it's ever been, and that's all you really need to know.
Rabi-Ribi's magic really lies in being relevant right now, as an innovative, deep and well-crafted 2D platformer complete with cutesy retro/Anime artstyle. It's incredibly good fun to play, engaging and witty, easy to pick up and almost impossible to put down.
Ys Seven may be quite old and rather basic, but it's still an action-RPG that's worthy of your time. If you're after a light-hearted romp full of action that proves that solid gameplay is more important than snazzy visuals and complex mechanics, you won't be disappointed.
