PowerUp!'s Reviews
With a deep loot system, multiple characters, secondary paths and randomly generated dungeons, Dragon’s Crown Pro is a game for those who are looking for a grind that’s both fun and rewarding.
In a market flooded with first and third-person-shooters, games that play it safe and game after game after game that could be a reskinned version of the one before, Pillars of Eternity 2 is a big, beautiful breath of fresh air.
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is a great game for any Legend of Zelda fan
Warmind isn’t the content I wanted it to be. But it does give a positive sign that Bungie is trying. Is it repeating some mistakes of the past? Sure.
Layers of Fear Legacy is a decent enough horror experience, but it’s for horror fans only.
It’s simple, if you like platforming, you should play Light Fall.
The Switch version is better simply by being portable. It's the same great game with a few added extras and the benefit of portability. If you own a Switch, you should grab Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Even if you've played it on Wii U.
God of War is a cinematic masterpiece, a masterclass in game design and the greatest adventure game ever made. It’s the absolute peak of AAA gaming and the best merger of storytelling and gameplay I have ever seen.
As a game, it sits somewhere between an indie title and AAA. Unfortunately, its priced as AAA which in my opinion it falls short of.
Sea of Thieves is a game that is only going to get better. While it may be a little empty now, the mechanics, the world and the experiences you can already have are incredible.
It’s my favourite Assassin’s Creed of the last-generation and it’s now very close to the best one of this generation too.
A Way Out is a game that is well worth the six-hour runtime and well worth playing.
Far Cry 5 is a brilliantly put together, sandbox game. Its focus remains on the various shades of human sanity, but rather than focus on the easily recognised evils, it forces players to look at a far more insidious kind.
If you're a fan of the first title you won't be disappointed with Ni No Kuni 2. Although it mostly feels like an entirely new game, it is for the better.
Like a good book or a new show on Netflix, Yakuza 6 is something to be binged. Writing this Yakuza 6 review was a challenge because it forced me to stop playing. I really didn't want to. I mean I REALLY didn't want to stop playing. Yakuza 6 is the kind of game that lodges itself in your brain and doesn't let go.
All in all, the best part about Civilization VI Rise and Fall is that it now truly feels like you’re able to play and win on your own terms. Military might isn’t the only option and winning through science and religious means is even more satisfying.
Get some friends together, have a few drinks, some laughs and enjoy the ridiculous fun that is Frantics.
It’s not perfect by any stretch, but there really is something about it that makes it a game you’ll have a hard time putting down.
It’s a strange choice for the continuation of the series, but against all odds, it turned out great.
For a free-to-play game, this game certainly exceeds its value.
