GameSpew's Reviews
Madden NFL 19 is more of an evolution than a revolution then, but what else did anyone expect? It's a refinement of last year's effort with further graphical prowess, more fluidity and a sprinkling of new features. It's just a shame that its Longshot Homecoming mode is such a let-down.
Disappointing as this lack of follow-up may be, State of Mind still delivers a stellar sci-fi experience that, while comparable to other entries in the genre, has a character all its own. Given the game's complex topics, don't expect to walk away feeling like all is well with the world, but you'll be more than glad you plugged in.
If you're prepared to stomach the game's less appetising sections, you'll still get a little Joy out of We Happy Few.
Despite all of its problems, there's just something about Flipping Death that wins you over.
City of the Shroud epitomises this approach, putting narrative at the heart of what it does, and emerging triumphant as a result.
Despite its few niggles, Overcooked 2 delivers everything that made the first game so great, but in a bigger, better and more appetising package.
Dead Cells is such an easy game to recommend.
Trago is very effective, if a little short. I found myself playing and replaying it for 70 minutes straight before I even began to consider giving it a break, which shows that it's just as addictive as the excessive drinking it portrays.
Salt and Sanctuary is dark. It's just how it is. And being honest, it's all the better for it. On the Switch's small screen though, the darkness of most of the environments coupled with the zoomed out camera makes it hard to see certain enemies and their attacks.
Jump Gunners probably isn't the best game to pick up simply for its single player features. For those who like to get some friends around and engage in some highly entertaining multiplayer action, however, I'd say it's a must-have.
If Code of Princess EX's combat was just a little bit better, it'd be quite a solid game.
All together, Sleep Tight does what any tower defence/survival game should; it gives you a place to protect and the tools to do so, and does its best to keep you engaged.
If you want to play a third-person cover shooter, stick to the Gears of War series on Xbox or the Uncharted series on PS4 for now. All of their entries are cheaper than Gene Rain, and they all offer many times more fun.
Overall, This Is The Police 2's mechanics are a vast improvement on an already solid formula, and this change for the better also stretches into the game's plot.
Remothered generates just as much frustration as it does atmosphere, making it one of those games that you want to love but can't because it just keeps kicking you in the face.
There are times you will hate oOo, and I came pretty close to deleting the game on more than one occasion. But if arcade thrills are your thing and you can view failure as a learning experience, then oOo Ascension will be right up your street.
Small games from smaller studious continue to amaze me with their effortless charm and unbound creativity, and Mugsters is easily one of those games.
It may be unspectacular, but there will be many who'll fall under Aces of the Luftwaffe – Squadron's charm.
Overall then, while Archangel: Hellfire's single player mode is undoubtedly entertaining, its multiplayer modes are where the game really comes into its own.
With all that said though, The Council: Episode 3 – Ripples offers another fascinating look into this alternative history 18th century.
