Rime is a good game on its own merit but it's always going to be compared to titles that fans of the genre are probably familiar with.
Agents of Mayhem deserves praise for its supporting art-style, voice-acting and excellent characters. However, it lacks the missions and gameplay that these parts deserve.
Despite a good start and its many sterling qualities, TL5M is shackled by its temporal premise...
When lined up with its predecessor in their respective years of release, SoD2 just doesn’t capture the imagination in the same way but is still worth playing
Supermassive's expertise in narrative and player-led storytelling brings us a gripping thriller that simultaneously shows the potential and the limitations of PlayLink.
Gravel's vehicle selection is small but well-chosen, the tracks are interesting to drive the rally classics around and online multiplayer is simple to use and well implemented
Shay-Shay's maritime tale is still worth experiencing if you have need for the Assassin's Creed brand of piracy. On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.
Tie Fighting, X-Winging, AT-ATing, forced walking, forced Walkering, all of action-shooters’ rich tapestry...
While the hammer, gun and remote explosive are fun to tear across Mars with, the explosive action becomes dulled by repetition and the flow is too often broken by frequent frame-burps and crashes...
With a little patience and some interest in off-road biking, this game is worth playing. Without these, you should avoid it.
Mixes bland enemies and environments with spectacular bosses, playable characters and effects. Repetitive and sometimes a chore but the story is worth SOME of it.
For some reason, they remastered de Blob 2...
The villains of NfS: Payback are a faceless gang of crooks becoming wealthy through dodgy gambling practices. I am not sure if this level of Kafkaesque irony is sustainable in the gaming industry nowadays.
The military-industrial complex need not be worried...
As Phil Daniels once sprechgesanged, "Accessibility is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as."
It is unlikely I will end up in the eighth circle covered in my own excrement after this review...
Those of you who are begging for a reason to load up KC:D will find something to spend a few hours on. But 'From the Ashes' will do little for anyone else. The low asking price however, takes some of the edge off of the criticism.
An exercise in mediocrity that would have flown under the radar were it not for the ludicrous development cycle and marketing.
There is a little potential buried underneath the rubble that is Conan Exiles. The world, though sparse and slightly ugly does fit the license. The PvP is suitably unforgiving, the challenge of surviving the world brings out the worst in people and the best in the game.
A cash-cow book series gets a cynical game...
