Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Review – a slow burn that flourishes into a rewarding experience

10 11 月, 2020 Sayem Ahmed 0

Vikings have enjoyed another pop-culture renaissance, with high-profile TV shows in the form of The History Channel’s Vikings, and the BBC & Netflix co-production of the adaptation of ‘The Saxon Stories’ series, named The Last Kingdom.

Bugsnax review – a delightfully weird journey that stumbles over its desire to be something more

9 11 月, 2020 Malindy Hetfield 0

Here’s a sentence I didn’t think I would be writing this year, a year when truly nothing seems impossible – Bugsnax, a game ostensibly about brightly coloured walrus people eating sentient snack food, actually holds a dark secret akin to Spec Ops: The Line. I’ll get back to that in a bit.In Bugsnax, you play […]

Spider-Man: Miles Morales review – more of the same, but with some stunning visual upgrades on PS5

6 11 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a very typical sort of console launch title. It’s impressive in places, but clearly still rummaging about in the remnants of the last generation. It’s a shorter experience, which surely will have made that new-generation development easier. That said, it’s also content-rich enough that it’s the ideal relaxing binge with which […]

Mario Kart Live is a pricey gimmick – but it’s filled with that irresistible Nintendo magic

29 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

Mario Kart Live is the sort of thing only Nintendo would make – and that’s brilliant. It’s important to go into Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit with some expectations. This isn’t the next ‘true’ Mario Kart, for instance – but it is nevertheless a ‘proper’ Mario Kart, fully-featured in its own way. From an unkind […]

Pokemon The Crown Tundra DLC preview: four big additions in Sword and Shield’s latest DLC

21 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

Pokemon Sword and Shield had to make a few cuts in order to meet some of its ambitions, but its DLC expansion pass continues to buff up previously lacking areas of the game. In many ways, the theme of Pokemon Sword and Shield was revolution. A jump to HD graphics, areas with 3D camera control, […]

Evil Genius 2 might be arriving 16 years late, but it looks like the sequel I always wanted

20 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

As the saying goes – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 2004 was a long time ago – a whopping fifteen years, plus 2020, the year that has felt like a decade. That’s basically twenty-five years (or sixteen, if you’re a stickler for real linear time). In the fast-evolving world of video games such […]

Yakuza: Like a Dragon preview – a true RPG, and surprisingly better for it

12 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

It’s understandable why Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the way it is. After making six numbered entries in the series and a handful of spin-offs, it’s probably fair to say the team behind it was getting a little bit bored. Why just make another one of those? That’s the question that’s led to this weird, […]
