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.
Persona 5 Royal is the definitive way to play one of the most stylish, emotional and engaging RPGs of all time.
DOOM Eternal is easily one of this generation's best FPS’s as it rips and tears its way to outdo the first game in every way possible.
Bloodroots is a must-play for fans of challenging, reflex-based action games.
For a game made by a solo developer at Deadleaf Games, Nom Nom Apocalypse is creatively impressive but held back by several bugs and a rather repetitive gameplay loop.
Dreams is like nothing we have ever seen before and it’s going to inspire the next generation of creators.
There are so many moments playing Journey To The Savage Planet that I wish I had of been recording my reactions. Either because I began giggling or I simply turned my head in questioning curiosity.
Now that we've seen four games and met all the Horseman of the Apocalypse it has to be time to return to the original Darksiders ending and see what happens next. For now, Darksiders: Genesis is a lot of fun to smash demons around in and be introduced to Strife, officially.
Playing Arise is often frustrating so I’d suggest being aware of that before playing it, but when the music, visuals and moments in the gameplay just mix perfectly it’s this colourful cocktail to pull on your feelings out of nowhere, because although it’s a simple tale, it’s one we can all relate to.
