Skully rolls at its own pace. Which can include some sharp difficulty spikes and lead to some rather frustrating levels. But there’s an undeniable sense of old-school mascot fun to be had here in an adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
As the swan song of the PS4 generation, Ghost of Tsushima is suitably a mishmash of many of the generation’s biggest things with a sprinkle of new ideas.
There’s no world in which I see this game attracting a new audience. The humour, references, load times and mission structure are evidence of an old game. Returning fans will enjoy their moment with Crypto-137 once again, but in time to see a fresh entry? I’m doubtful.
It’s equal parts Metroidvania and player directed blood-bath and one of the best games of the year so far.
This is one of those times it sucks to have to give a bad review to a game. I wanted to love this game. Little Reaper has a lot of cool ideas but none of them come together.
Despite the renewed presentation, SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated drops the ball...
The exploration on how words can change the way people receive you — or in this case, how an evening at the bar can go, is interesting, even if there’s not quite enough going on behind the scenes to make nine playthroughs feel necessary.
Desperados III is simply one of the best stealth games can play right now.
Move Controllers continue to age well-past their due date, but the game achieves its main goal. Iron Man VR makes you feel like a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist; you are Iron Man.
The Last of Us Part II is, simply put, another generation-defining narrative that will push the whole industry forward.
With the multiplayer being DOA on PS4, at least, the game is left feeling oddly hallow at launch, but there’s enough campaign and replayability to hold the attention of players for 15-30 hours as you max out your squads level, abilities and track down each chapters secrets.
Minecraft Dungeons is a simple entry-point ARPG. But it could have been so much more if it leaned heavier into being “baby’s first ARPG” as well as the elements that make Minecraft, Minecraft.
There’s fun to be had here, especially if you’ve had a shit day at work and want to chop the limbs off some lumbering fools for fifteen minutes.
You can easily boot up Maneater and crush your jaws into the finish line in an afternoon and get some solid laughs out of the revenge story and silly antics. Just be aware of the current technical issues and glitches that are keeping this beached as for the time being.
A fine-tuned beat-em-up just like they used to make em’ that’s been brought to the modern era thanks to the inclusion of new features that make the franchise more accessible than ever before.
There’s love for the franchise here for sure, it just needed more time in the oven to produce a quality product of that love.
It doesn’t matter how mundane and tedious the tasks can seem at times, I constantly feel like I’m achieving or working towards something while playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Doesn’t hurt it’s heckin’ adorable either.
The big question for Final Fantasy VII Remake for many is going to be: was it worth the wait? For me, the answer is yes. I teared up at several points, I enjoyed the combat for the most part and the experience of being able to explore Midgar with these fantastic characters in such a visually updated fashion was an absolutely amazing experience.
Resident Evil 3 is still a fantastic narrative experience that should be enjoyed by fans of the franchise as well as fans of the action-horror genre.
Everything a fan of the core game could want and more with lots of story content to dig into and many secrets to find.
