Stevivor's Reviews
Combat in Get Even is relatively simple, and while the option for stealth or full-guns blazing is up to you
DiRT 4 is arguably the most complete rally title on consoles to-date.
Friday The 13th: The Game has the potential to be a great game but sadly it's not right now.
ARMS has potential, but Nintendo's done its best to bury it under neon colours and a catchy theme tune.
WipEout Omega Collection won't hold your hand
With all the superfluous about, it's a good thing that Tekken 7 really relies on its core mechanics.
it's far easier tackle the bridge of the original U.S.S. Enterprise on your own.
RiME is exactly the game I like to slowly work my way through.
If you're a fan of fighters, you've no doubt been spoiled of late by high-quality offerings that come with a range of extra features and — perhaps most importantly — engrossing, engaging story modes that help to create an attachment to characters. Ultra has none of this.
Its story has a few plot twists, though most are telegraphed well ahead of time.
This sequel is far more than a fighter. It's a love letter to DC's heroes and villains
The promising story, reminiscent of every damn 70s sci-fi movie and one which drew me in almost immediately, really does take a backseat until the latter half of the game.
Judged as a shooter, Farpoint is as generic as they get; thankfully, Impulse Gear's effort has other things going for it. ... If you've a PlayStation VR, this is definitely one for the library.
Bland and generic against the computer, Playgrounds is infinitely better with friends. Priced competitively at around the $30 AUD mark, depending on console, it's worth a bounce if you go in with your expectations set at the right point.
If you're an AFL fan and want an AFL game, there's no other choice. AFL Evolution is certainly the most playable attempt we've had at an AFL game for a while
Despite those rough patches, Prey is wholly engrossing, begging the player to solve Talos 1's many mysteries. It works well as a shooter, a stealth game and carries an 70s sci-fi vibe that is nothing short of a delight to experience.
If you're into puzzle games, Puyo Puyo Tetris is a nice new (well, newish) take on a familiar formula, though those that just want vanilla Tetris won't be left wanting either.
Sadly, much of Bulletstorm gets in its own way.
If you harbour even the slightest desire to build then you have to experience Cities: Skylines. It provides most of the complexity of Maxis' 2013 Sim City but isn't bogged down with restrictive city size and a focus on co-operative building. The customisation and mods will keep this game alive for a long, long time and Colossal Order are due great praise for their embracing user created content.
Once again, Relic has done a great job at bringing Warhammer 40,000 to the digital world. Anybody who is into Games Workshop's biggest and best will love this, as will those into RTS titles. It may not be a substitute for the tabletop game, but it's a great play nonetheless.
