Getting into a fight in Hard West feels more like a subtle, silent standoff, waiting for your enemy to slip up… it definitely nails a kind of silent, nail biting tension that I think is definitely missing in most games
Knight Squad can become nail-bitingly tense at times, but it doesn't dampen the fun
There is nothing amazingly special about Dirty Bomb, but Splash Damage have finally nailed the formula
You'll have to complete each level four times if you want to take on the final boss in the hub world, which the cynic in me sees as a rather tiresome way of artificially increasing the game's length
I can safely say that Legacy of the Void definitely delivers in terms of its story and is a fitting end to almost two decades of storytelling
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
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
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
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
