The Bunker weaves a compelling narrative packed with amazing performances, authentic sets and believable writing let down only by limited interactivity. If you love a tense, chilling story, The Bunker provides all the mystery and intrigue you could hope for!
There are only a couple of really minor things that stop me from being able to give Forza Horizon 3 full marks. The Aussie accents leave a bit to be desired, the amount of time you have to play solo before being able to join your friends online I think is a bit too long and the racing simulation aspect of the game is almost perfect but the game certainly leans towards arcade racing more. FH3 is a rocking time, with STUNNING graphics, tons of customization and a never end list of things to keep you occupied. I highly recommend this game to anyone basically as you don’t need to be a fan of racing games to be able to enjoy what FH3 brings to the party. Well done Playground Games, well done.
Firewatch excels at storytelling first and foremost. Thematic maturity and likable characterization only serve to complement the tale. Featuring gorgeous visuals that look amazing even in the dark of night, a visit to the Shoshone National Forest has never been this enjoyable! Get out there!
Xenoraid is pretty much only saved from a savage review by using a controller to play the game. Otherwise it's a slightly below average title, but possibly worth a shot if you have $10 spare and like this genre of game.
Axiom Verge picks up the Metroid mantle and takes it in an entirely new direction while still retaining the best aspects of the classic from Nintendo. It's a wonderful adventure full of astonishing sights and sublime sounds, all created by a one man developer, Tom Happ. I'm very much looking forward to discovering his next project...if it's half as good as Axiom Verge, we are all in for a treat!
For folks that are looking for a taste of something new with a splash of that old school flavor Seraph will not disappoint.
Gears of War 4 takes everything from the Original games and evolves it . Making it not only feel fresh and new but making it work effortlessly. Visually it's the best looking game to come out this year.
TOXIKK promises that you will "Frag like its 1999" and to be honest it delivers. However a distinct lack of players and servers of 8 players maximum let the game down. After you've played it a few times the novelty of playing an FPS like it's 1999 wears off...
Mantis Burn Racing proves its worth to players thanks to its easy-to-learn controls that allow for many hours of challenging racing throughout the Career mode and in multiplayer. However, due to the lack of modes and overall gameplay, playthroughs can become stale and repetitive, amounting to an overall gameplay experience that is entertaining, but not as long-lasting as players would hope for.
Rogue Stormers is a fun 2D shooter that combines nostalgia well with modern day gaming mechanics. The randomness of the levels and perks keeps each playthrough relatively fresh and makes a great game to come back to every so often to have a bit of fun with. Despite some slightly grating sound effects and a few technical hitches with multiplayer and enemies hiding in the environment aside, it is well worth a play.
FIFA 17 improves in areas and then goes backwards in other areas. Journey Mode is a powerful addition and an exciting one at that. Ultimately, FIFA 17 is the best football game on offer as a whole package again this year but better than FIFA 16 I'm not totally convinced.
The gameplay in Slain is fast, it's hard-hitting, and satisfying. The atmosphere is greatly immersing and the music excels at heightening the gameplay experience of every level. Only the number of cheap deaths and cheap projectile-focused enemies, along with the not-very-present replay value holds back an overall very enjoyable experience.
Solid gameplay can get repetitive, but the quirky art style keeps things interesting, and there is great replay value.
An enjoyably unsettling horror tale, Through the Woods will leave it's mark on you long after it's conclusion. Featuring superb sound design and gorgeous visuals, the story of a mother looking for her son on an eerie island straight out of Norse folklore, is definitely a journey worth taking!
A great continuation of Batman/Bruce Wayne's story, with both sides perfectly fleshed out and as important. Stellar presentation and production value once again. Despite some technical issues, this is worth the price of admission and I'm very anxious to see how everything will turn out!
Despite all of its shortcomings regarding the levels design, Kyurinaga's Revenge is an original game, in a well realized world, that will challenge you until the very end. It is difficult, its trophies are hard to get, but the variety of the worlds and its varied gameplay makes it an experience worth playing.
Saturday Morning RPG maintains an enjoyably light-hearted and nostalgic atmosphere through its excellent soundtrack, 80's reference-filled writing, and entertaining special attacks. The experience is lessened by repetitive gameplay, outdated 3D graphics, and a not-as-strong-as-anticipated amount of replay value. Regardless, it's a worthy addition to any turn-based RPG fan's gaming library, especially if they love their 80's movies.
HoPiko is simplistic and incredibly good fun. It's punishing, paced action makes you think and react so quickly you'll feel awesome when you succeed. Conversely, you will probably walk away from your console infuriated at times, but you'll come back for "just one more go."
Wang is back and he is so hard! Shadow Warrior 2 is all about fun and if you think of a game that blends the newest incarnation of Doom with Postal 2 then you'll be in the ball-park of what this game is about.
Ittle Dew 2 improves on the original in all departments. A larger world to explore, much better visuals and some of the catchiest tunes in gaming to date. It's biggest weakness is it's lack of innovation. Despite that, a sense of fun and a quirky attitude make Ittle Dew 2 a worthwhile and enjoyable dungeon crawler for casual and hardcore gamers alike!
