The Games Machine's Reviews

Mar 30, 2017

They Shall Not Pass is a rather good DLC, with a lot of content and a bunch of new, well-designed maps (especially the Verdun battle). It doesn't offer anything truly original or unique, and it's not exactly cheap, but if you're a fan of Battlefield 1, we find no reason why you shouldn't be roaming in the new Behemoth, or shooting enemies in the Fort Aux bunker.

8 / 10.0 - Yo-Kai Watch 2
Apr 2, 2017

If you're a fan of the series, this new installment offers a lot of things to be happy about. It's still too easy for seasoned players, but the game offers a lot of new modes, multiplayer, and a bunch of different activities to engage on.

The remastered edition of Parappa the Rapper is like an old tape found in a drawer: despite the (sometimes) cranky sound, it could be an authentic gem, for someone else, it's probably just an old, worthless gimcrack.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a free-to-play CCG: give it a try, chances are you're gonna like it. Despite being a newcomer in an already saturated market, Bethesda plays its cards right (ahr ahr), with some original and fresh gameplay mechanics.

7.7 / 10.0 - Snake Pass
Apr 4, 2017

Snake Pass has a colorful look, a cute character, and a truly inspired level design. It's also very difficult, and not in a good way: the peculiar control system and the physics of the slithering creature can test your patience at times. It's a good platform game, but you're gonna need a lot of patience and self control.

8.5 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 4, 2017

Yooka-Laylee is a heartfelt tribute to the best of Rare on Nintendo 64. It's a challenging game, with a steep difficulty level (like old times!), always fun to play. If you're a fan of old-school platforming, you won't be disappointed.

7.2 / 10.0 - Idle Evolution
Apr 5, 2017

You can consider Idle Evolution as a nice, successful experiment: it offers an unusual way for a grounding in chemistry, and at the same time it's a pretty good incremental game with a lot of challenges and minigames.

6.8 / 10.0 - Future Unfolding
Apr 5, 2017

You can love Future Unfolding, or you can hate it. If you like to explore game design and experience something truly unique, you could definitely love it. Unfortunately, the intriguing concept gets often trapped in a rigid gameplay, and that's where hate comes in. When it works, Future Unfolding is a real pleasure to watch and play.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the last of a long list of collections of the main titles of the series. If you're a long time fan, you'll find it completely worthless. If you never played any of them, though, and you're looking to catch up before the release of Kingdom Hearts III, this could be your lifeline.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rogue Stormers
Apr 9, 2017

Rogue Stormers is a decent, hectic shooter with a good co-op mode and a gameplay full of explosions and chaos. Unfortunately, it could have dared a little bit more: the bestiary is pretty lackluster, and the sense of progression is very, very slow, insanely tied to the number of enemies killed.

6.2 / 10.0 - Blackwood Crossing
Apr 10, 2017

This new walking simulator tries so hard to be another Gone Home, but it suffers from a stiff gameplay, and an overly sentimental story.

8.7 / 10.0 - MLB 17: The Show
Apr 11, 2017

A must-have for every baseball fan out there, MLB The Show 17 improves everything over the previous chapter, delivering a game that's beautiful to see, but even more beautiful to play, especially the new storyline mode.

9 / 10.0 - Bayonetta
Apr 11, 2017

The witches are back, and they're tougher and sexier than ever! Bayonetta is the most iconic title developed by PlatinumGames, something that every gamer (PC gamers too, finally!) should have in their collection.

This is one of the sloppiest porting ever made, full of bugs, crashes and framerate drops. This is especially unfortunate, because LEGO City Undercover is probably the funniest LEGO title ever made by TT Games. Our suggestion? Wait for a solid patch, a price drop or a sale.

The first episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy pretty much contains everything a fan of the movie could ever desire. The graphics engine desperately needs a revamp, though.

The multiplayer offering is quite limited, but other than that Dawn of War III is a pretty solid RTS, with a challenging campaign and a well-balanced combat system. A must have for the fans of the series.

Behind the creepy mood and the awesome graphics, Little Nightmares has very little (pun intended) to say, gameplay-wise. Too simple, with some basic platforming and uninspired stealth sections.

8.7 / 10.0 - Cities: Skylines
Apr 20, 2017

Finally, Xbox One players have the chance to enjoy one of the finest city builders released last year. The conversion is excellent, and almost indistinguishable from the PC version. The After Dark expansion is included in the game, but the two DLCs (Snowfall and Natural Disasters) are not.

8.6 / 10.0 - Outlast II
Apr 23, 2017

Everything, in Outlast II, is better than the previous chapter: the story is more deep and articulate, the levels are bigger, the enemies smarter... Well, most of all, it's even scarier. Strap in, it will be one hell of a ride.

9.5 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Apr 23, 2017

This is undoubtedly the biggest, funniest and best Mario Kart ever. If you already have the new Nintendo console, well, it's a no-brainer, really. If you don't, well, it could be the right time to Switch.
