Stevivor's Reviews
Bungie promised big things for Destiny 2's newest DLC, Warmind, and has only partially delivered. Par for the course, really.
Go out and get Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze immediately.
Kylotonn should be commended on what is a great game, but certainly a niche one at that.
Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 is a solid sports title that newcomers will find engaging and enjoyable.
God of War is a truly engrossing, enjoyable experience.
The Pillars of the Earth weaves a fascinating tale and does so with superb style.
Far Cry 5 is the thoughtful next step in a series renowned for shooting first and thinking second. The villains are devious, the world is intriguing and the wild animals remind you who owns the land.
Sea of Thieves promised to be an exciting sandbox for players to sail the seas and have all kinds of piratey adventures. To its credit, Rare was upfront about what we should expect here – two ships, three guilds and three mission types — still, when the release date rolled round and this full-priced game set sail, it still managed to feel like an early access title.
A Way Out mightn't be all I wanted it to be, but it is competent and different.
If you love Origins, you'll get a big kick out of "Curse of the Pharaohs". Simple, really.
In addition to offering up a rewarding and enjoyable sci-fi city-building experience, Surviving Mars is rife with detail.
This feels like the beginning of a new major RPG franchise to compete with the other giants. If you like this style of game you'll love it and if you're not usually into JRPGs it's a perfect gateway to the genre.
Consider this an earnest recommendation: go and expand your horizons with Discovery Tour. You won't be disappointed.
Seeing Assassins presented as the enemy casts the game in a much different light and humanises the Templars at the same time.
The in-combat effects and camera work really make what could be a relatively basic combat cycle into something that feels dynamic and empowering every time you get to button-mash to truly kick the stuffing out of a goon's face.
Star Allies isn't bad, it's just dull. Perhaps that's worse.
Despite a lacklustre remaster (I'm looking at you, textures), returning fans will feel right at home in Paradise City with Burnout Paradise Remastered. Though newcomers to the franchise may be a little disappointed at first because of its last-gen mentality, there's still a lot to enjoy with this neat little package.
It's poorly made and is, hands down, the worst game I've ever played. The fact that the end credits didn't include a personal apology because you simply made it to 'em is astonishing.
It's not perfect, but it's still pretty fun. With single- and multiplayer offerings and a wealth of nostalgia, it's hard to do wrong with Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.
Fe is simple yet complex, stylised and engaging. A six-hour affair, it's perfect for those who found delight in Journey and, to a lesser degree, Ori and the Blind Forest. For others, it might be too much style over substance.
