Flickering Myth's Reviews

9.5 / 10.0 - Devil May Cry 5
Mar 8, 2019

Devil May Cry 5 is the game that people should be talking about in 9/10 months’ time when Game of The Year suggestions are being made.

If Naughty Dog’s singular vision won’t please everyone, the end result is at least an astonishing display of technical game-craft and cinematic storytelling. A masterpiece, if certainly one not for all tastes – and perhaps not even for all those who loved the original.

9 / 10.0 - God of War
Apr 27, 2018

Rarely do games feel as singularly visionary as God of War; this is a rarest of AAA games with no whiff of publisher interference or executive meddling whatsoever. Almost entirely fat-free while still serving up literally dozens of hours of worthwhile, value-filled entertainment, that it does this alongside an unexpectedly visceral and emotionally involving story makes it an elite, towering accomplishment that a sequel nevertheless has the potential to build and improve upon.

9 / 10.0 - Metro Exodus
Feb 13, 2019

Slight disappointments aside, Metro Exodus is a fitting continuation of Artyom’s onward journey through the remains of a post-nuclear world. It’s a grim, yet beautiful, mix of open world and linear first person shooting that isn’t afraid to throw challenges at you from beginning to end.

9 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Nov 14, 2019

Death Stranding once again sees Hideo Kojima pushing the boundaries of what video games can be, and the result is a breathtaking and uncompromising – if at times willfully baffling – experience.

9 / 10.0 - Dreams
Feb 23, 2020

It just might be the greatest and most democratic paean to creativity that the video game medium has ever seen, and it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface.

For anyone long-tired of self-serious, ultra-violent Battle Royale games, Fall Guys is an arm-flailingly silly rebuke, and one of the most deliriously entertaining multiplayer games I’ve played in years.

This is a gorgeous, narcotically addictive remake and a major return to form for the beleaguered Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise. From this point on, it’s basically the gold standard template for remaking a sacrosanct gaming classic.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a dizzying, glorious marriage of old and new sensibilities, confirming the series is in safe, even inspired hands. The Bandicoot is back.

Though its old-school sensibilities may prove more divisive with new players, the N. Sane Trilogy will meanwhile be an easy sell to long-starved fans; it’s a gleeful, often infuriatingly difficult nostalgia trip that they won’t be able to stop playing.

9 / 10.0 - Injustice 2
May 20, 2017

Injustice 2...is one of the genre’s best arguments in years that fighting games should and indeed can appeal to frantic button-bashers and technical savants alike. With a plump platter of content on offer and terrific production values, this is an ambitious step up from 2013’s acclaimed original.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth feels very much like the franchise’s apotheosis; a culmination of everything it’s been building towards while leaving a ton of runway for future entries to build upon.

8.5 / 10.0 - Super Meat Boy
Jan 15, 2018

While this new port of Super Meat Boy is really just a thirst-quencher until the long-awaited Super Meat Boy Forever lands...the appeal of owning it on Nintendo’s nifty new hybrid platform speaks for itself.

There are sure to be passionate debates about where exactly Yakuza 6 lies in the grand pantheon of Sega’s titanic franchise, but with its smash-mouth combat, surprisingly engrossing story and wealth of wacky content, it is nothing if not another towering entry.

The Division 2 keeps an impressive number of plates spinning while skirting clear of the soulless live-service void. It isn’t perfect by any means, but Massive has done a remarkable job of making a potentially messy experience feel uncommonly holistic.

A beautiful, creative indie platformer that’s held back from classic status by its infuriatingly imprecise controls. The sumptuous journey is still very much worth it, though.

8.5 / 10.0 - DOOM Eternal
Mar 20, 2020

Doom Eternal is just about everything fans could want a Doom sequel to be; muscular, intense, and compulsively addictive, complete with one of the best single-player FPS campaigns in years.

8.5 / 10.0 - Astro's Playroom
Nov 20, 2020

Astro’s Playroom is an outstanding introduction to the PS5’s key features and one you’d be a fool to miss under the pretense it’s simply another tepid, low-effort launch day freebie.

8.5 / 10.0 - The End Is Nigh
Dec 4, 2017

The End is Nigh is infuriatingly difficult, and to that end doesn’t necessarily lend itself to lengthy play sessions, but the handily-segmented gameplay promotes a pick-up-and-play style that’s perfect for the Switch.

8.5 / 10.0 - Rocket League
Nov 15, 2017

Rocket League Switch may not be the definitive version of Psyonix’s all-timer car sports game, but it just might represent the most fun and accessible way to play it. Seriously, what are you even waiting for?
