8 / 10 - Fallout 4
Nov 18, 2015

Crafting mods for your equipment is child's play, compared to the fact that Fallout 4 allows you create and manage entire settlements with the junk you find on your travels

…for a guy with a wife, a one year-old, two cats and a full-time job, Albert & Otto is not striking the right balance between mindfulness and just actually cluing me in as to what's going on

3 / 10 - Yasai Ninja

Not only is the gameplay very generic, extremely frustrating in places and frankly quite tedious, it also has some other serious issues too

One Upon Light is a striking, beautiful game with a very unique style and crisp finish but one of the main problems I had was mixing greyscale colouring with a fairly busy environment

The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant… even if you haven’t heard them before, you’ll undoubtedly be humming them all day as they’re incredibly catchy and infectious

8 / 10 - Cibele
Nov 5, 2015

The gameplay of Cibele, in the form of the levels of Voltameri we're forced to play through, is something of a letdown… I was left to wonder how on earth Nina could spend so much of her time playing such a dull and boring game

No matter what event type you find yourself in, the graphics are average at best, which makes the poor performance during the Freeride and Waypoint events baffling

One of Need For Speed's most successful aspects is its car customisation, which is both deep yet easy to use

The fact that everyone is, once again, a complete newbie is refreshing; we all get to enjoy those small victories of completing a song on 100% for the first time again, and relive the satisfying achievement of moving up to the next difficulty level

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is a great game, but it's not for everyone due to its steep learning curve

7 / 10 - Rebel Galaxy

There is one untarnished, shining star in this cold and lonely place though. The soundtrack. The rockabilly tunes are just too damn good

Swinging a weapon in this game is about as action packed as watching a plastic bag whisk itself around a car park, and about as floaty too

Complementing the slick presentation is an excellent soundtrack, composed especially for the game by Jesper Kyd. The music is dark and atmospheric and fits the overall tone perfectly

As a trade-off for the improved framerate the streets are never quite as busy in London as they were in Assassin's Creed Unity's Paris and there aren't as many explorable interiors, but it's a price well worth paying

If the first paragraph of padding wasn't a big enough giveaway, its easy to see that there isn't a huge amount to say about Black and White Bushido

As a pure no-nonsense rally game, WRC 5 succeeds by having responsive and convincing handling as well as options such as realistic damage to make the experience authentic

Don't get me wrong. Episode 5 is still good; it's still Life is Strange. I was just left with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth

Played at the right time in the evening, you'll get the right mix of dark visuals blending in with the beautiful, contemplative soundtrack that accompanies the game… it makes being a little spider feel like an existential, out-of-body trip

Prison Architect does have a campaign mode (if you can call it that), but it's a bit subsided… where it does shine though is in its storytelling

The amount of detail in the world is fantastic. It is filled with rusted drainpipes and broken machinery and shiny new lifeforms
