Fans of the Atelier franchise might get a kick out of seeing familiar faces, but by combining a JRPG and a city management sim, it creates a result less than the sum of its parts.
Yoshi's Crafted World combines solid gameplay with enough new ideas and a vibrant, creative visual twist that makes it more than worthwhile for platforming fans.
Xenon Racer is a perfectly serviceable arcade racer, but the significant technical shortcomings of the Switch port make it difficult to recommend in its current state.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice scratches the Souls itch but does so with some uniqueness and refreshing ideas. This game is not for the faint of heart, however.
...the longer you play the more problems you notice and the more you realise that the game simply doesn’t feel complete or coherent. I don’t think Generation Zero will be remembered fondly in the future, if remembered at all.
Despite not going as far as I feel it could have, Yuppie Psycho had me laughing and running scared in all the right places.
A solid collection of a beloved series of games, with nothing new added into the mix.
The Princess Guide could be considered a diamond in the rough... although there's a lot of rough and not many diamonds
you can’t deny it’s fun mowing down hordes of zombies with your mates.
A special game that may in nature not be loved by all but between its cast, humor and excellent setting, developer BTF have truly made something special here.
Whilst not every aspect of the game completely works, and players searching for an epic fantasy narrative may be left cold, the deep combat and exciting exploration kept me hooked the whole way through.
It's crazy how a simple concept such as a box making extensions of itself can be manifested into an artfully unique package.
...truly an enthralling experience and I would urge anyone who is a fan of either turn-based strategy games or card based games to give this title a look.
If you are a lover of heartfelt storytelling and own Virtual Reality then you absolutely must play this game.
It may not be a flawless victory, but Mortal Kombat 11 puts up one hell of fight.
While it has some flaws and can get repetitive during long sessions, it's still fun to try and survive in a violent world that is truly out to get you.
Implausible city-management and trading gameplay are married by an almost perfect soundtrack and artistic direction.
If you're a history buff and you're not put off by the sea of numbers, this game will be a joy to play.
Asobo Studio have created a brand new IP that confidently prioritises characters and emotions over world-building and lore, to its benefit.
With interesting mechanics and breathtaking visuals, Total War: Three Kingdoms is the most impressive entry in the series to date. The research Creative Assembly have done on the game’s setting and characters truly shines through.
