NZGamer's Reviews
Pays wonderful homage to its adventure gaming ancestors, including the humour and the tedium.

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.
Worthy of your time and money, if you have someone to share it with.
Colourful characters, and enough adult humour to keep you wondering how this is a G rated game.
A beautifully simple puzzle game, punching well above its price point.
Nothing says we're living in the darkest timeline more than Skylanders: Imaginators.
Deep story and fluid combat make Nier: Automata a truly special experience.
Exhilarating combat, marred by awkward interactions and pervasive bugs.
There are better, cheaper, and less broken versions of Bomberman out there.
Vast, but very little peppered throughout. Wildlands is one that plays better with others.
A delightful and well built game, and a welcome addition to any 3DS collection.
Clicks together beautifully like LEGO, but you might be searching for that final elusive brick.
Live or die by the whims of the dice – for better or worse.
A fantastic contrast to the other slow-paced open-world launch game you’re playing.
A brilliant collection of mini games, tied together with mediocre game modes.
If you’re a franchise newbie that wants a good RPG, look elsewhere.
'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.
