GamesHub's Reviews
The Artful Escape is a joyous musical odyssey of self-discovery that sweeps you along with a breathless enthusiasm and leaves you wide-eyed and grinning from ear to ear.
Above all else, The Forgotten City is a grand example of the kind of storytelling power video games can have.
Hoa proves that you don’t need clever puzzles or wild boss fights to succeed as a platformer.
Lake is careful not to waste your time even as it insists you take all the time you need.
I’ve cried from laughter at least once playing with friends on the network. And I’ve still had an incredible time with Wrestledunk Sports both online and off. I’ll happily continue to long for the day where I can play it with other people in person again.
Twelve Minutes desperately wants to be seen as an edgy, adult thriller. But it mistakes shock value for substance and ultimately has nothing of value to say.
Psychonauts 2 is bursting with imagination, and that’s the thing that will stick in your mind for a long time.
The kinetic experience of making your way through hazard-filled temples in Phantom Abyss makes us eager to see what else is still to come.
Nintendo's latest game creation tool is defined both by the Switch's limitations and the impressive breadth of creative expression it enables.
No Longer Home toes the line between a commercial and personal project in a way that makes it hard to critically assess. It’s a game that deals with a familiar form of melancholy with a delicate touch, but sometimes, this borders on insubstantial. The narrative, while personal, lacks substantial introspection.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a high point for the series and a wonderful visual novel in its own right.
Overboard! makes being the villain extremely satisfying thanks to its smart logic and highly replayable format with multiple compelling ways to claim dubious riches.
Chicory: A Colorful Tale has you revitalise a colourless world. But that task comes with more existential dread than you might think.
Even if Operation: Tango is more a series of puzzles than a traditional stealth game, both my co-op partner and I absolutely felt like secret agents by the end of it – even if we were less James Bond, and more Johnny English.
The narrative flourishes of Backbone are wildly ambitious, and the tonal shifts will butt up hard against expectations set by the opening hours’ clear love for noir-narrative and tropes. It’s a game obsessed with change and transformation, and in a world as damned as this, perhaps that’s the best one can hope for.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart wields PlayStation 5 technology adeptly and push its genre mastery to the limits, but no further.
As a remaster, Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139… represents another kind of second chance, this time for a cult game to find an audience that eluded it the first time around.
It’s a great compilation to play and replay to remind you of the series’ merits, but once you get some distance from it, Village’s design and narrative feel like mere footnotes.
Essays on Empathy did something better than give me a polished videogame experience. It gave me access to an experience of communal artmaking that I didn’t realise how badly I missed.
Strangeland’s cosmic horror take on grief and mental illness creates a compelling story world, despite its flaws.
