Some players might be put off by Spirit of the North due to how heavily it relies on its players to figure things out, but that’s also its biggest charm.
If you enjoy getting lost in a great story based around realistic characters, then you shouldn’t hesitate to play Arcade Spirits.
Despite its questionable development status, Stranded Deep has a lot to offer. I’d welcome further development, but even in its current incarnation, this compelling survival sim is more than worth diving into.
A trip that’ll thoroughly test your patience.
While A Summer’s End: Hong Kong 1986 isn’t without its downfalls, I’m glad it exists.
With all of its issues, it’s hard to recommended Daymare: 1998. Some, however, will be able to grit their teeth and enjoy it – it’s not all bad.
Predator: Hunting Grounds isn’t a terrible game. Not at all. But it’s just not good enough.
If you can look past the few technical issues – which can hopefully be ironed out with a patch – you’ll find a worthwhile story about overcoming loneliness and self-doubt, cherishing your friendships and rediscovering who you are.
If you’re a fan of JRPGs you’ll find a lot to like here. It looks great, it’s easy to play, and it’s not the longest slog in the world – you’ll see the credits roll in about 20 hours. Sure, there are a few frustrations, but it remains true to the Mana series and overall provides an enjoyable – if a little uninspiring – adventure for fans of the genre.
With a beautiful marriage of puzzles, story, graphics and sound, Deliver Us the Moon is a unique exploration game that anyone with a fascination with space will enjoy.
Take nostalgia out of the equation, and Streets of Rage 4 is the best entry in the series yet.
Truckin’ ain’t easy but if you jump into SnowRunner’s driver’s seat, you’re in for a great ride.
As far as party games go, Moving Out is one of the best of recent years.
Gears Tactics is the best Gears of War game since the original trilogy came to a close.
A unique combination of genres, Sakura Wars is ultimately a compelling adventure that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Lacklustre animation aside, Pirates Outlaws is a great addition to the strategy card game genre.
All in all, MotoGP 20 is undoubtedly the best MotoGP game yet.
All things considered, then, Obey Me is… fine.
Heal isn’t a long game; it’ll likely take you only a couple of hours to reach its conclusion, with a pause to shout at that one frustrating puzzle. But you’ll still be engrossed by this OAP’s otherworldly outing.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling Hot Garbage, well, hot garbage. But it’s certainly not great, and it’s somewhat tarnished my otherwise excellent experience with Journey to the Savage Planet.
