GameGrin's Reviews
ELDEN RING is the most accessible entry to a FromSoftware title to date, with plenty of things to explore, do, and enjoy. Those even mildly interested by the premise should give it a shot.
Despite technical difficulties and a lack of Stan Bush, Shadow Warrior 3 still captures the silliness that's become a trademark of the series.
An average RPG spoiled by janky combat and technical issues. I'd only jump into this if there was literally nothing else to play.
A return to arcade, a return to the docks, a return to drifting, and a return to putting fun above all else. This is what Grid should be about, enough fun to be had with the story and career modes, but an absolute hoon with a couple of mates in multiplayer.
Broken Blades is a unique roguelike adventure platformer that lets you craft your own weapon to attack your enemies. Even on easy this game is quite difficult, and the lack of a map is frustrating.
One of the worst kart racers to be released in recent times, lacking decent track design, tight controls, visual flair, fair A.I, and is far from an optimised experience. Hideously broken on almost every level, this is something a "simple patch" cannot remedy.
Another solid entry into the franchise in what should be the exciting conclusion of the trilogy. Blood for the Blood God and all that good stuff!
Monark is a fun JRPG with interesting characters and a unique story full of personality tests and high school drama. Though at times navigating the character can get a bit frustrating.
King of Fighters XV is a great looking and fast-moving fighting game that never slows down. With a huge selection of fighters, along with local and cross-play multiplayer, there is a lot here to keep you entertained!
Underwhelming in all aspects outside of the story and characters, Maglam Lord isn't a game that will have you hooked from beginning to end, but there is enough here in its narrative for those looking for something a bit more light-hearted.
Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires doesn't do anything that previous games in the series haven't already done. A lack of variety and graphical issues that should not be present in 2022 hold this back from being a must buy, even for die-hard fans.
With a disappointingly short single-player and an unplayable multiplayer, CrossfireX doesn't bring much to the table. Even with some interesting parts in the story, the shortcomings of the game are much higher in number.
Cute, fun, and quite literally fetching; Wytchwood blends all of its elements together wonderfully, although there is little reason to play more once you conclude the 10–12 hours' worth of story.
Infernax is a great game that I highly recommend to anyone who loves challenging platformer games that sound and look great. Especially if you don't mind figuring out what needs to be done next and aren't disgusted by blood and gore.
Costing roughly the same as a box of nuggies (£3.99), Void Slayer is a reasonable arena shooter which fails to grasp the longevity tendrils of gamers. Good for short bursts but only if you're looking to scratch a very particular itch.
As a player, Fatum Betula hosts fulfilling gameplay, rewarding exploration with an atmosphere of thick nostalgia and childhood fear. As a curator, it is a brief exploration into auteur theory, and that direction is never necessarily important, only context.
A massive time sink which needs an entire rainforest of sticks to shake at. Just grab it and jump in.
MouseCraft is a mix of two other great puzzle games, Lemmings and Tetris, that challenges your brain in an all new way. With great graphics and stages to complete, it's hard to not get addicted!
OlliOlli World is a game that is full of personality and will challenge you to your core. It's hard, but a ton of fun and very rewarding, however I'm warning you, expect a lot of swearing!
A brilliant take on the roguelike genre, Sifu is a game that is hard to beat, but even harder to put down. Timing, patience, and skill will see you to fulfilling your goal and exacting that sweet revenge.
