There is a good variety between levels and bugs that will keep you engaged until the – very short – end, but you'll be buzzing all about it once you're done.
I doubt any Great Power could save this game from being the soulless wasteland that it is.
Weakless is a very short game with very easy puzzles. It is set in a beautiful world with good but repetitive music. It has unique characters that forces players to play as both a blind and a deaf character which I found to be very different and fun.
Triangle Studios' latest release makes a strong first impression with striking visual effects and satisfying shooting mechanics. Sadly, the appeal quickly wears thin, exposing its repetitive gameplay and samey environments. Good for a handful of short bursts, especially with friends, but it feels too much like an unfinished product to fully recommend.
There are some heart-warming themes of friendship and scenes of goofy fun that might appeal to someone looking for an optimistic gaming experience, but in many ways these only make the sexual scenes even less pleasant. NEKOPARA is a franchise for a very specific type of person, unfortunately, that's just not me.
Dead End Job is a great game that takes parts of Luigi's Mansion and parts from the roguelike genre and merges them wonderfully into this very stylish and surprisingly entertaining ghost-busting game.
It's just not particularly interesting to play through. There's certainly some enjoyment for fans to latch onto, but it's hard to say if that's enough when the game feels skin-deep in its appeal.
The studio clearly sees potential in the format as a storytelling platform, and I definitely want to see them refine it in the future.
The characters and the overall art style are cutesy, sure. But that shouldn't deter you from the solid build-em-up that's underneath it all. A great game to get into the resource strategy genre with, and just as good for those that are au fait with the genre already.
Even if I'm less than impressed with some of the game's technical shortcomings and overbalancing, Gang Beasts still delivered some of the funniest moments I've had in gaming, and that joy will stay with me for some time.
Having 64 endings seems excessive when the vast majority of them aren't worth going through the tedious mini-games for.
Idea Factory may have skimped a bit on narrative, but the visuals far exceed anything I've seen in any visual novel, and even most games that fall outside the genre. If this your first foray into dating sims, while the narrative can go all over the place at times, you'll be so lost in the visuals of the world, you won't mind where it takes you.
If you absolutely can't wait until Bloodlines 2 for your next Vampire: The Masquerade fix, Coteries of New York is a decent enough way to fill the time.
At £8.99, it's not asking for much money, but it's certainly asking for too much of a player's time with the excessive and repetitive grinding.
Spend a few hours winding down with its carefree sandbox or just listen to the ever catchy folksy music, and it's just the antidote you need after a bad day, a bad year, or hell, a bad decade.
A fun, but simplified take on the turn-based strategy genre, think "baby's first XCOM" and you're on the right lines. Its flaws are obvious but easily overlooked for newcomers to the genre. If you're a die-hard strategy fan, consider giving Narcos: Rise of the Cartels a pass, it won't have much to offer you.
I'm definitely going to keep Must Dash Amigos installed on my Switch, but I can't see myself taking it out unless I have a group of friends looking to come over and enjoy some crazy, tequila-induced races with me.
Easy enough for newcomers to just pick up and play, and providing just enough fun and familiar challenge for veterans of the genre.
There's nothing really different here; no new game modes or anything like that. It's more of the same, so if you liked what you saw first time round, then it's very likely you'll enjoy this too.
Taking the series in an entirely new direction, Darksiders Genesis manages to stay true to the prior games whilst delivering in a totally different genre. A fun game let down by grindy character progression.
