Toem 2’s charms largely come from its silly eccentric cast of characters, but its heart lies in the universal reverence for the wonders of the natural world.
The Blood of Dawnwalker feels special in how it makes what could have been repetitive open world filler feel like core steps of a wider and more overarching narrative.
We’ve had experience with the genre before, but it hasn’t captured our attention — until Blood Dungeon, that is.
It certainly took its time coming out, but vampire-centric tabletop-ish adventure game Nighthawks was certainly worth the wait.
Quite possibly this packed month of releases’ sleeper hit, Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon Classic HD is an excellent bite-sized retro RPG that’s been lovingly recrafted for the current gen.
It along with the free Back to the Zone update make Stalker 2, an already engrossing experience, even more enjoyable.
The Alighieri Circle is certainly atmospheric, but the journey was over shortly after the plot finally got interesting.
It might have fewer titles than Vol. 1, but Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 is a lot more polished out of the gate and is historically important for freeing both Guns of the Patriots and Ghost Babel from their years of isolation locked on their respective release systems. Guns of the Patriots in particular now gets a chance to be remembered by new generations as a key part of the Metal Gear franchise and one of Hideo Kojima’s most unique entries in his oeuvre. If there is going to be a Master Collection Vol. 3, you’d hope it would include not only a complete version of MGSV: The Phantom Pain with Ground Zeroes incorporated, but also releases of the leftovers of the franchise, specifically Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (another PSP title), as well as Revengeance and I guess might as well throw in Metal Gear Survive for completionists. The Metal Gear series continues to be one of the most unique, strange and memorable franchises in video game history.
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.
