Mass Effect: Andromeda Review
Mass Effect Andromeda is one of the most highly anticipated games in recent years since its early reveal back in 2014, and with its galactic arrival finally here how does it stand up to our hopes and imagination of what Andromeda could bring? Starting Ma
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Review
Resident Evil 7’s new formula of first-person wisely remembers that the series once was a survival-horror adventure, composed of tense exploration and careful item-hunting and not pure action unlike its previous predecessors. Whether you are familia
Final Fantasy XV Review
I nearly wrote that I was wrong about this game, so very nearly. Despite my extreme pessimism around the title, for a long time it was showing me promise, some interesting mechanics and a little hope. This was all until it took all of it's gains and
It's Always Raining in Beholder
It's an interesting premise—you're a spy for the totalitarian state and you must report on tenants in a decrepit building. Use various methods to spy and get information to help your family get by in difficult times. Sometimes methods in t
Titanfall 2 Review
After the massive initial success of Respawn Entertainments first title, Titanfall, back in March of 2014, other studios like Activision took notice of the games impressive fluid mechanics and implemented them into their titles. Call of Duty, for example,
Battlefield 1 Review
I’m happy to say that, for me at least, Battlefield 1 is everything I wanted it to be. I cannot stop playing. The gameplay takes a little getting used to at first, I’ll admit, but once you have the core ideas down, you’ll be gunslinging
Mafia III Review
I'm having a hard time writing this review. The Mafia series has always been close to my heart. While games like Grand Theft Auto, The Godfather (The Game), and Scarface played on the action and adventure aspects of open world RPG's set in
Banished Review
"On my one playthrough of the game, all my villagers died aside from two men sharing the one house. The lovely gay couple maintained the village until they both died of old age." I was sat at my desk, browsing through steam, trying to decide what game I&
Master of Orion Review
Master of Orion pioneered the 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) genre over 20 years ago. Pretty much every 4X game that came after it owes its origins and success to the original Master of Orion. The sequel, Master of Orion 2 is widely considered
No Man's Sky Review
No Man's Sky came very close to being an ideal game for me. Procedurally generated sandbox environments, in a colossal in-game world to explore, flying endlessly through space in your very own starship. It sounds great, but it falls short in a smidge
Bear With Me Review
In this point-and-click adventure from Exordium Games, 10-year-old Amber and her cuddly private investigator friend Ted E. Bear go in search of her missing brother, trawling through the outer limits of Paper City as it’s ravaged by a new menace know
Brut@l Review
I remember playing games on the NES and rarely finishing them because the developers back then valued masochism and broken gaming equipment over actual game completion. I'd argue high difficulty stretches re-playability for a long period of time
Pokémon Go! Review & Analysis
Pokémon Go is the latest app sensation to arrive on Android and iOS. Pokémon have descended onto this realm and are roaming around Earth in their various little elements, whether it be on land, in a river or down your toilet. So what
VA-11 HALL-A Review
Visual novels are a niche thing. Its probably due to the fact that they've long been the domain of busty anime girls just dying to get into your pants and provocatively leaning over with their dress half open. While these are all well and good for a
Lumo, The Quirky Isometric Adventure Review
You might think you know Lumo, but you really don't. You pick a Pokemon-like main character and attend a small game convention with arcade cabinets and old-school games. Then you're zapped into a myserious dungeon via a Tron-like digitiz
DoA Xtreme 3 Fortune Review
Japan is a literal world apart from the West. Spain or Italy, which have different languages and cultures to us, still share plenty of similarities. Though you may not understand what the road signs mean, you can at least approximately read them and sound
Overwatch Review
Blizzard has a long history of making great games. From its Warcraft series which includes Real Time Strategy titles and the world’s most popular MMORPG to the Diablo series which practically defined the top/down RPG adventure for years after each t
