Planet Zoo successfully captures the complexity and reality of what it takes to manage a zoo without sacrificing the game’s relaxing atmosphere.
Ellie puts it best, “it looks okay from far off, but once you get close you realise it’s just the same mismatched shit that everyone’s agreed to overpay for”.
Disco Elysium is an enthralling song of inner-struggle, tabletop role-playing, and mystery.
With the hints about where the series is about to go... the future for Destiny is looking bright.
…Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind brings an enormous amount of complexity to the table, both in its story and its strategy gameplay mechanics.
...a game that combined the unforgivable gameplay of Dark Souls with the heart of a JRPG saga...
The atmosphere and background design are to die for and the way the characters banter back and forth really make the adventure all the more charming.
Despite lingering technical hiccups and some underwhelming storytelling decisions, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is worth checking out for any fan of the franchise.
If you’re a fan of XCOM, Final Fantasy Tactics, or strategy games in general though, I would still definitely recommend giving this one a look regardless.
Neo Cab makes me wish that big-budget publishers did games of this nature.
It truly is the only football game you need.
...a true indie masterpiece that will have something for veteran and newbie gamers alike.
Finji has done well in introducing a wide variety of choices in strategy games, and of course some cute cuddly companions.
...further refines what was already an excellent premise and makes it tighter, more varied and more addictive.
I can forgive the game for a lot of its shortcomings, although there’s something about Borderlands 3 that I absolutely cannot forgive – its technical problems.
Takashi Tezuka and Shigeru Miyamoto should be incredibly proud of this amazing rendition. It captures everything it needs to and sets the bar for classic remasters.
Underneath the layers of dull writing and sometimes repetitive gameplay is an enjoyable and fun time to be had.
Across the board, Gears 5 really is the whole bloody package… and it’s bloody excellent.
There's so much love poured into this game. It's a game well worth exploring if you're looking for something that just celebrates games' iconography over the years.
With some adult themes and an intriguing story mixed with addictive puzzling gameplay, Catherine: Full Body is a great remaster despite some questionable writing.
