23 4 月, 2021 Tom Orry 0

You too can spend your free time doing the most mundane “gaming” possible.Watch on YouTubeI’ve come to accept that I’m a pretty boring person. I don’t particularly relish parties or gatherings of any nature where I can’t easily talk to or hear people. I don’t really get excited like other people do, although I did […]

The argument is that the […]

Outriders’ endgame ignores the game’s best feature in the name of efficiency

21 4 月, 2021 Sherif Saed 0

A lot in Outriders is undercooked, but none more so than its endgame.Prior to the launch of Outriders, I was particularly impressed with how clearly People Can Fly communicated what players can expect from the game’s different facets. The World Tier system was properly detailed, and the studio demonstrated why it was a good choice […]

As ever more games get delayed, we should just embrace 2021 as the backlog year

12 4 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

It’s fair to say now that the video game industry is in the throes of a second pandemic squeeze. The first came last year, and it came for our events. E3, Gamescom – one-by-one, they fell. But games themselves remained a pretty exciting place to be. Games were coming out, and people were stuck at […]

A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism review – a fun transport sim in need of better tutorials

7 4 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

The Switch’s entry in the A-Train series won’t be for everyone, but if you can push past its complexities, there’s much to enjoy.A-Train is one of those video game series that I wish had a more consistent path to localization. While over the years things like niche Japanese RPGs have gotten better at eventually surfacing […]

The Nier remaster changes less than I anticipated, warts and all – and that’s brilliant

29 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

Let me tell you something here. Listen close. Yoko Taro is as much a visionary video game director as, say, Hideo Kojima. I’m not exaggerating here. If you you look at the ideas expressed in the Drakengard and then Nier games Yoko has written and directed, there’s ideas and experimentations as bold and fascinating as […]

If the new Nintendo Switch really supports DLSS, it could be a game changer

23 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

DLSS could very well fix the Switch’s biggest problems. As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. When it comes to a new model of Nintendo Switch, there’s a whole lot of smoke – and Nintendo’s past form seems to dictate that now, four years in, we’re rapidly approaching the time when we’re due […]
