Nexus Hub's Reviews
The dialogues and some of the choice options could be both better translated and perhaps written with a bit more panache, but they are not so awful as to ruin the entire game. In short, Ash of Gods: Redemption is a game to keep in your checklist if you enjoy turn based combat, rogue-like elements, moral dilemmas, enticing art style and a solid story to boot.
Far Cry 5 succeeds on the strengths of its extraordinary batch of villains, wildly fun gameplay, and solid world-building that’s expected with Ubisoft games.
If you have nothing else to play or have fond memories of the original series then this game will fill a hole in your library.
All in all, Kirby Star Allies isn’t mind blowing, it’s not hugely different and certainly doesn’t push any boundaries. What it is, though, is a perfectly fun, simple gaming experience that’s enjoyable with or without friends, and near perfect for the Switch whether it be on the go, or on the TV.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is a game that ignores almost everything in the pursuit to recreate the TT, but just how well this was done makes it a very rewarding bike racer experience.
The pixel art style and isometric strategy battles remind me of all the good parts of games like Final Fantasy Tactics. Subset Games have a lot of experience in developing rich roguelikes, with previous title FTL standing out, and they’ve used that experience to blend with this strategy game to make a title that is definitely worth a look.
It’s rogue-like nature means each time you play the game will be different to the last time you played. Fans of shmups will find a massive amount of hours to sink into the game and curious gamers will find a difficult yet fun game to play that has exhilarating gameplay with responsive controls, great music and awesome old school design.
Any interest I had in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Warhorse has defiled and set ablaze in an incredibly shallow grave.
As I fell in love with Crash Bash, so I did with Frantics as well. The claymation art style combined with fun, entertaining and almost nostalgic feeling mini-games gives it some value and life, something that has been somewhat lacking in modern party games. Frantics should definitely be in your library.
Needless to say, knowing what Supermassive Games are capable of, I feel that this game should never have been released until they brought it to the same standard as their other titles.
The Station does enough to be recommended to anyone who wants a very short burst of puzzle-solving with some genuinely gripping mystery and atmosphere, but it crumbles in the execution of the narrative itself.
There are multiple layers to this beautiful VR title that truly makes the game a joy to play through. The idea of bonding with the protagonist as another character, while helping her solve puzzles in a fantasy world is endearing and plucked at my heartstrings.
I would wholly suggest UFC 3 to any fan of the sport and to any fighting game fan looking for something different but still intriguing.
Monster Energy Supercross is a visually impressive and accurate reflection of what supercross racing is about. It caters for players looking for an arcade-ish game where they can just jump straight in and race, as well as for the supercross fan who is looking to indulge their inner supercross champion.
With a beautiful art style and lack of a challenge, Pop-up Pilgrims is a game with a lot of potential but poor execution.
While the flaws in the game may seem as if I do not recommend the game, there is something intangible about it that keeps you coming back
Metal Gear Survive is Kojima’s true phantom pain. It’s a boring grind of repetitive missions, cardboard characters, and shockingly bad AI. It may get by on the strength of its association to the Metal Gear series alone, but die-hard fans will be very disappointed with how shallow of an experience it really is.
Developer No Brakes have created a physics puzzler that requires patience, timing and an appreciation for the development process of games in general.
Monster Hunter World is the most well-rounded, visually spectacular, and overall best Monster Hunter game in the entire series.
Legrand Legacy is a strange proposition: it’s a love letter to JRPGs, produced by a small indie team with AAA ambitions but a small budget, capable of providing over two dozen hours of classic gameplay brought down by some rough edges and bland writing, all priced at what you’d expect for a AA game.
