I Am Future is a game that almost gets everything right but falls short so often that it doesn't quite gel together.
Tri Breaker offers a level of challenge for players of all levels of experience, plenty of laughs, and a fun, unique take on a classic genre that you’ll be hard-pressed to skip on once you’ve gotten started.
fans of the originals will be delighted to go back, but for those of us who are new to the franchise (or close enough to it), there’s plenty here to enjoy about both games.
Overall, Everholm is a slightly spooky farming sim packed full of content and adorableness. I’ve already dedicated many hours to decorating my isometric homestead and solving mysteries in this beautifully crafted environment, and I’m not done yet.
Fantasian feels at home on console, Sakaguchi and Uematsu are completely at home with Square-Enix, and players will feel like they’re going on a journey home to their nostalgic 90s era as they delve into the game. Fantasian is an inspired mobile effort that is now better than ever in the form of Neo Dimension.
From the opening notes of the Indy theme, I was transported to the realm of one of my favourite fictional characters of all time and that is the Great Circle’s greatest achievement in my eyes. If you long for the days of the classic Indy movies (and want to forget the last two), this is the sequel for you, it just happens to be a video game.
Everyone experiences grief at some point, but I did not think a game would help me come to terms with it and the emotions it causes.
It’s goofy, and earnest, and consciously inclusive in a way that makes me, a queer person, scared to talk about it on the internet (even after all these years). It’s bold, and comfortable in itself, and even in its weaker moments, It does feel different to the past games, but for me, it’s a good kind of different.
I legitimately hated a lot of my time with it. But, man, I do hope that a proper new instalment is in the works because I can absolutely see how this could be gloriously delirious fun.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D, put simply is the Dragon Quest III of old, and while the game was lauded for its brilliance in 1988, there are certainly some aspects that don’t hold up as well with parts of the modern audience. For some, this is the retro content that will fill your heart with joy to immerse yourself in once again, while for others, the old turn-based systems and relative lack of hand-holding in terms of objective signposting, might just be too much of a deterrent.
Likewise - it’s not the best LEGO game, nor is it the best Horizon game, but there’s definitely a charm to the combination of the two. Even when they’re not at their best, these are two IPs that shine, and I’d happily jump into some co-op for this game any day.
This is easily the best COD has been this generation and the most fun I have had with the series since the insane Black Ops 3. The campaign mode shows real innovation with a host of different, yet equally entertaining missions, the multiplayer is tailored in a way that somehow makes it welcoming to lapsed players and the Zombies mode is an absolute blast with friends.
While the dev team behind Moon Mystery have attempted to release a big epic space adventure, they would have been much better off scaling back the game and focusing on the core gameplay loop, narrative and Q.A.
I think What the Car is a great game that absolutely made me laugh at times with its complete absurdity. It’s enjoyable enough for me, but I feel completionists and those with a competitive streak will get a lot more out of it than I ever would.
Like Digital Eclipse’s other Gold Master interactive documentaries, Tetris Forever tells a special story about a slice of gaming history. If you’re a fan of learning about the stories of these games, beyond what’s already been covered in the past, then you’re going to get a kick out of what they’ve done in presenting the story here.
This game and its niche subject matter certainly wouldn’t appeal to everyone, but if you want tractors to become your new obsession, this is the game for you.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve enjoyed playing a Sonic title this much, with both halves of Sonic X Shadow Generations combining to make a great package.
The price, however, is literally the only bad thing I can say about what is one of my favourite gaming experiences of all time. It may be an old game now, but it is one that has aged like fine wine. The gameplay is pitch-perfect, the art direction is stunning and the story holds the same emotional impact it always did.
What it all boils down to is that despite its rough edges, tech issues and underwhelming single-player campaign, fans of the movie should get plenty of joy out of Starship Troopers: Extermination.
Dead Season is a short zombie romp through a tactical lens. It walks the line between tactical and accessible and doesn’t feel like it nails either side of the coin, so in the end, it comes off feeling a bit toothless.
