On the whole, F1 2020 is the ultimate Formula 1 racing simulator. Fully licensed, extremely deep, and very detailed, Codemasters have done a wonderful job of bringing the brutality and unpredictability of the F1 season to gaming platforms across the board. The introduction of My Team is a breath of fresh air and will keep me coming back to F1 2020 for the foreseeable future. It really is an excellent game!
Fairy Tail is one of those games with characters you miss after completion. It’s one of those titles that you connect with because each character is humanized. They’re relatable, and despite their harnessing of magical powers, you can still invest. That’s excellent writing. The grinding aspect of JRPG’s has been streamlined, and you can easily get upwards of 60 hours out of this.
Maid of Sker is a competently made game (cornea searing visuals aside), but an awfully executed horror title. From start to finish it struggled to garner, let alone maintain, any semblance of interest of intrigue. The only scare comes from its title and the physical pain it caused was irritating to say the least. As a result, I can safely say that it is not a game worth your time, and you should absolutely give this one a solid miss.
I really enjoyed Destroy All Humans. In many ways, this feels like what a remake should be – it’s modernized and improved to the level of many current games, but very much kept the original spirit. While there is some further room for improvement that prevents it from getting a higher score, I’m certainly happy that I had the chance to play this. It’s left me hoping that the other games get a remake or a new sequel is announced.
Necrobarista is certainly an interesting take on the visual novel genre. The dialogue is amazing and the story is certainly worth experiencing. It could perhaps be priced a bit lower considering how short it is and it does have some minor technical issues. Still, overall I enjoyed it.
Some technical and unbalancing issues, but chock-full of charm and still a good time to be had
Hunting Simulator 2 has many, many problems, but the biggest one being it is a hunting simulator. This inherent flaw starts you off on the wrong foot as the act of hunting is typically slow and fairly uninteresting. When that is combined with everything else the game stumbles with, you are left with a crawling simulator with guns in it. I cannot recommend this game to anyone but the most hardcore of hunters, and I suspect that audience won’t be reading a review about a videogame.
A potentially great game, mostly limited by technology. Still, there’s plenty of fun to be had here.
This game comes with the highest of recommendations – if you see Desperados III, be sure to grab it – it’s absolutely well worth it!
An interesting reboot of an old series. Shows its age in some ways, but it is a great way to revisit this franchise.
There are not many VR games like this with this sort of detail and scale which makes The Wizards: Dark Times a unique one-of-a-kind experience.
Beyond Blue takes you to the very depths of Davy Jones' Locker for a serene experience of our ocean's natural beauty - but players be warned, this swimming simulator is heavy on the sea critters, light on gameplay. Wait for a sale, unless you're a marine biology enthusiast.
Summer in Mara started off with a strong first impression through it's presentation and art but began to sink by trying to squeeze in both farming and adventuring, while not doing either brilliantly.
Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated stands the test of time. Furthermore, I believe it’ll be the Spyro for the new generation
Warborn is a game that teeters on the edge of brilliance. Poor AI and a few quality of life issues tarnish an otherwise great game. A solid TBS that can be enjoyed by newcomers and veterans alike.
If you are looking for a bite-sized mystery-thriller story puzzle game that makes you go “holy crap” and takes you on an emotional roller coaster, then I would extremely recommend this game.
Monster Prom XXL is a delight to experience. The artwork is beautiful, despite some shortcuts taken. What absolutely ended up flooring me though was the writing. Simply hilarious. The music is great, and sort of reminded me of a Beach Boys song. It feels like it was intended to be enjoyed in small bursts, making it ideal on the Nintendo Switch.
Many Faces is marred with a myriad of issues spanning graphics, mechanics, controls and overall content. This is a game to avoid.
The pacing of the story wasn’t the best in the world and the characters weren’t as charming as some other titles, but it was a relaxing journey with well developed characters and an interesting world. Overall, the gameplay is one of the better systems I’ve experienced for a JRPG too and it comes paired with a beautiful world and character design.
After much consideration, and taking the flaws into account, you’ll find fun here. However, those flawed points will cause a lot of frustration. I really enjoyed Atomicrops, but it was just too rough to fully recommend.
