GameSpew's Reviews
Everything about Deep Sky Derelict seems to have been done right, from the synthwave soundtrack to the lore to the unusual combat system. It's rare that a game with procedural elements holds my attention for long, and rarer still that an RPG can show me something new.
Mega Man 11 is one of the rare instances where I'm forced to ask myself, is this a perfect game? Unfortunately, the answer is no, but it's still pretty damn close.
It won't satisfy those who like a lot of action in their games, but anyone who likes to take their time and devour a good book will be in their element, that's for sure.
Ultimately, for anyone who hasn't yet experienced Scribblenauts, the Scribblenauts Mega Pack is without a doubt the best way to do so.
The Escapists: Complete Edition looks crisp and beautiful on the Nintendo Switch.
Cosmic Picnic has developed a really unique and addictive arcade style planet explorer, and it's quite frankly impossible to say "adios" to playing ADIOS Amigos.
Despite Downward Spiral: Horus Station's faults, there's enough here to show promise in 3rd Eye Studios.
Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 – Roads is a strong introduction to Sean and Daniel's characters and story.
Forza Horizon 4 feels like a labour of love; a game for car lovers by car lovers.
I'll no doubt be sinking many hours into FIFA 19 in the months to come, but I do wish the effort put into the game by EA Sports hadn't been spent on the modes I'm not really keen on.
I do love Valkyria Chronicles 4 for many reasons. Its characters are more endearing than any I had encountered in the series thus far and its systems and mechanics are still as engaging as ever. However, there is still plenty going against even its most positive attributes.
Lacking the budget and visibility of the more mainstream WWE titles, there's a risk that Fire Pro Wrestling World will get overlooked, at least here in the west. But give it a chance and you'll discover an addictive, accomplished wrestle-fest that will have you grappling for hours at a time.
I'm just looking forward to The Council being over and done with.
Gift of Parthax has a simple yet great premise.
Whether you're a fan of old school rhythm games or just want a hilarious trip through video game history, Old School Musical is absolutely worth picking up.
Personally, I'm delighted that Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition has made its way to consoles. It may not have the cutting-edge visuals of its full-fledged source material, or its open world, but it certainly has its soul.
As much as I've enjoyed playing The Serpent's Curse again, it's high time George and Nico had a new adventure.
In the end, Battle for Azeroth makes some great improvements in the levelling experience, but faults in its class design and the less rewarding Azerite system mean that overall, it takes too many steps back from Legion.
Flood of Light is an engaging puzzle game with a great atmosphere and relaxing soundtrack. There's enough difficulty in it to satisfy those looking for a challenge, and the well-designed puzzles should satisfy most fans of the genre.
For all its issues though, the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle still impresses. Whether you've played any of the games it contains before or not, you're likely to find at least a couple that grab you and make the collection worthwhile.
