NZGamer's Reviews

8.9 / 10.0 - Thimbleweed Park
Apr 13, 2017

Pays wonderful homage to its adventure gaming ancestors, including the humour and the tedium.

8.9 / 10.0 - MLB 17: The Show
Apr 10, 2017

Dene received a digital copy of MLB The Show 17 from PlayStation NZ for review.

Unfortunately, this episode's strengths are all in superficial places. Nobody comes to a Telltale game looking for technical prowess, and plot is only a tiny part of what makes a good story. I hate to say it, but Above the Law falls flat in the places that matter most: the characters and depth that underpin everything else. Without that, the episode is particularly forgettable, which doesn't bode well for an episodic series that's already struggling with its release schedule.

8 / 10.0 - Snipperclips
Apr 5, 2017

Worthy of your time and money, if you have someone to share it with.

8 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 4, 2017

Colourful characters, and enough adult humour to keep you wondering how this is a G rated game.

7.9 / 10.0 - BYE-BYE BOXBOY!
Mar 31, 2017

A beautifully simple puzzle game, punching well above its price point.

Mar 30, 2017

Nothing says we're living in the darkest timeline more than Skylanders: Imaginators.

9.5 / 10.0 - Nier: Automata
Mar 27, 2017

Deep story and fluid combat make Nier: Automata a truly special experience.

Mar 23, 2017

Exhilarating combat, marred by awkward interactions and pervasive bugs.

Mar 23, 2017

There are better, cheaper, and less broken versions of Bomberman out there.

Mar 21, 2017

Vast, but very little peppered throughout. Wildlands is one that plays better with others.

Mar 20, 2017

A delightful and well built game, and a welcome addition to any 3DS collection.

7.5 / 10.0 - Lego Worlds
Mar 17, 2017

Clicks together beautifully like LEGO, but you might be searching for that final elusive brick.

6 / 10.0 - Loot Rascals
Mar 16, 2017

Live or die by the whims of the dice – for better or worse.

8 / 10.0 - Fast RMX
Mar 16, 2017

A fantastic contrast to the other slow-paced open-world launch game you’re playing.

Mar 13, 2017

A brilliant collection of mini games, tied together with mediocre game modes.

Mar 9, 2017

If you’re a franchise newbie that wants a good RPG, look elsewhere.

Mar 6, 2017

'Malicious' is a fitting name for a game this unforgiving.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has forever changed the franchise – a feat accomplished by looking to the past. Nintendo have captured the sense of wonder, danger, and awe that they created in 1986, and embedded it in a vast, enthralling world.

6.7 / 10.0 - Halo Wars 2
Feb 23, 2017

Ben received a physical copy of Halo Wars 2 from Xbox NZ for review.
