Nick Gillham's Reviews
An interesting enough take on the genre that's let down by boring looks and frustrating little niggles.
Popcap has improved upon the template they laid out with Garden Warfare, fleshing out the sequel with an array of things with which you can wile away your time. It's excellent family friendly fun but genuinely great to play for all ages. Get it, play it with your little ones, and play it on your own. You'll love it.
Hyrule Warriors: Legends is a solid handheld musou experience only let down by some technical limitations.
Mario and Sonic aim for gold but just about scrape bronze, a good effort but more training is required.
Despite some minor frustrations Battlefleet: Gothic Armada is a fun RTS that isn’t too unwelcoming to people new to the genre.
If you can look past pretty much everything the game offers you may find that there’s enjoyment to be had here.
Not the longest or hardest game ever, but it’s a thoroughly good time while it lasts.
If you're looking to get into beat-em-ups and can stomach anime and J-rock then this is a good place to start your education.
Breached is a game that wants you to play it again and again, but doesn’t provide enough reason to do so.
The delay between versions should have been used to improve what was already there, instead we get a smaller game with a prettier face.
If you like a good puzzle game, BOX BOX BOY!, like its predecessor offers excellent value for money.
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness isn’t a terrible game by any means, but is let down by some poor story-telling, dreadful delivery and a lack of originality. If you don’t mind the slightly repetitive nature of the combat, the poor camera and hammy acting then it’s well worth a look.
Neither original nor groundbreaking, but if you’re one of those people who want a 90s style JRPG on home systems, then I Am Setsuna is the game for you.
For a score attack game Dangerous Golf lacks the ingredient to make you want to perfect it.
Tricky Towers is not fun or enjoyable, but you might get something out of it if you’re a masochist.
Legion strikes a very good balance between nurturing feelings of the past, while also slaying old beasts and leaving the old world behind. It’s the biggest shake up since Cataclysm, and boy was it needed. This is everything that fans should want, granting a whole lot more stuff for them to see, do, and tinker with, while new players can launch a fresh character in at the top level and find themselves equal to all those around them.
While I would never object to more Ace Attorney, there’s evidence enough to suggest that changes to the mechanics are in order.
Accessible and incredibly deep, if you’re looking for a time-sink you won’t get much better than Dragon Quest VII.
If a group of buddies all chip in Star Rush can be a cheap night or two of fun, but it’s not much more than that.
Minor crinkles can’t stop Paper Mario from being a frankly excellent experience and one that you, yes you, should play.
