We’ve had experience with the genre before, but it hasn’t captured our attention — until Blood Dungeon, that is.
It along with the free Back to the Zone update make Stalker 2, an already engrossing experience, even more enjoyable.
Agent 64: Spies Never Die is a homage to the N64 era that is more imitative than innovative.
Frogwares’ The Sinking City 2 is an example of improving upon an idea and delivering an unquestionably better time in all regards when it comes to a follow up.
If you’ve been yearning for another game in the vein of Hotline Miami, Kusan: City of Wolves will be right up your alley.
Last Variable doesn’t reinvent the main game’s special formula, but it adds plenty of new content to see and explore.
Bringing back an oldie from the Sega Genesis days, Truxton Extreme delivers some neat twists while remaining a familiar experience for veterans of the genre.
If you’re like me and appreciate well-crafted, thoughtful nostalgic set pieces in game form, 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X is sure to please you as it did me. It’s surely not as deep or as challenging as something like Gradius or Raiden, but it certainly succeeds at what it shoots for, emulating the frenzy around an animated property from decades ago. It’s a concept that would be fun to revisit if someone were to develop a new game in this spirit.
#DarkScrolls is pared back and straightforward, but finely crafted.
If you’ve gotten your fill the first time around, all the bells and whistles that are featured in this updated run of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag will only get you so far. It basically boils down to this: if you want more Assassin’s Creed after, say, tearing through Shadows, but aren’t looking to commit as many hours and want a smaller map and more focused objectives, then it’ll suit your needs just fine.
Entertainium Editors Eduardo and Gareth sit down to discuss their thoughts on James Bond’s latest outing, 007 First Light.
In space no one can hear you groan.
Yacht Club Games' highly anticipated follow-up to Shovel Knight can be a lot of fun and positively infuriating as well.
Whirlight is whirligig of nostalgia and colour coupled with a back-to-basics adventure game design.
Ultimately, the superb aesthetic achievements of Mouse P.I. For Hire are undermined by its overly familiar, uninspired gameplay choices. Relative newcomers to retro-style shooters are likely to get more from it than the jaded veterans among us, who have seen every gameplay element done to a higher standard many times before. At its best though, Mouse P.I. For Hire is a stunning-looking playable cartoon – and while it could have been so much more, that is enough.
The extent to which Aether & Iron will be enjoyed is largely also the extent to which players are enamoured with visual novels. Much of the development effort here, and the overwhelming majority of player time, is spent on dialogue trees. For those who enjoy visual novels, and find that this “decopunk” setting chimes with them, there will be a lot to enjoy in Aether & Iron. Those looking for what it first appears to be – which is to say, a tactical RPG – are best advised to search elsewhere.
Motorslice never gets in the way such that makes any task impossible, but it never becomes any less annoying when it leads to you falling to your death on occasion.
Pinball FX’s latest table pack has one really good offering and two unfortunately throwaway panels.
MINOS lets you construct your own perfect Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg murder machine.
Going beyond a mere shooter, Pragmata is an entertaining game with a surprisingly sweet relationship between its unlikely protagonists. (Review written in Portuguese for Entertainium Brasil)
