PowerUp!'s Reviews
It’s simple, fun, rewarding and doesn’t take all day to get good enough to lay down the smackdown.
OlliOlli Switch Stance is a tight, responsive and simple reimagining of the high-scoring skater skill game
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is really an interactive book aimed at fans of high fantasy and adventure novels.
Unfortunately, gamers have moved on. Crackdown 3 hasn't.
Read Only is a beautiful game and a simple and enjoyable point-and-click. The pixel art is on point and the design of the exploarable areas is well composed.
If it were a game made 10 years ago, it would have been adequate, but it feels so antiquated compared to the racing games of today that it just doesn’t offer as much value.
Metro Exodus drops you into an unforgiving, post-apocalyptic playground and gives you just enough tools to, maybe, make it out alive.
For the full asking price, I certainly can't recommend Far Cry New Dawn, especially not with its weak narrative and uninspired take on the post-apocalypse.
Finally, the game is just deadset, simple fun. Absolutely worth picking up on the Switch, even at full price.
For the price and the ability to play it in portable mode, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a solid purchase
The best part about the Sega Megadrive Classics collection is the out-of-game in-built features. Similar to other “collections,” you can quicksave and load as easy as pushing the right joystick up and down.
Genesis Alpha One is an exhilarating sci-fi experience unlike any other.
Square Enix are masters at world-building and it really shows in Kingdom Hearts 3. It's a truly epic game and well worth your time. Especially if you're already a fan.
Unfortunately, this is a time when putting the cake back in the oven hasn’t really helped, or it might have if the oven was turned on. Really it doesn’t feel like anything at all has changed since the initial release over six months ago.
A quick romp of romance and adventure that looks good and plays well
I'm not sure what else can be said about Resident Evil 2. It's a damn near flawless remake and a damn near flawless video game. It's scary, engaging, addictive and a whole lot of fun. If you want to start your gaming year off right, play Resident Evil 2. It's my favourite game of all time and might be the best one ever made.
The story is worth following, the characters worth knowing and the clues worth finding. It’s only the execution that let this game down. Gotta fix up the gameplay a bit to get the big scores.
Its certainly worth a romp and on sale would be a safe purchase for any fantasy fanatics with a penchant for strategic combat.
Hello Neighbor Hide and Seek is a fun and yet infuriating game.
Anyone looking for a challenge with a bit of nostalgia should check out Eternum Ex, your inner child will thank you
