Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Review – The Absolute Most game
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a game that unabashedly demands you meet it on its level, which I do find somewhat admirable. I just constantly found it to be a miserable slog to engage with, where everything was ten times more overblown than it had any business being.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Review: Yes, but do you have a flag?
Civilization VII is a bold step in the franchise, with fresh gameplay but a thinner feel. Back in August, I got the chance to play the first few hours of a game of Sid Meier's Civilization VII. At the time I said I was tremendously impressed by how the team had worked to construct the freshest Civ sequel yet.
The Sims 4 Life and Death review – The best expansion yet
So far, I've only logged a handful of hours playing, but I can confidently say this is one of the best expansion packs in the Sims franchise. I've played a few of the expansion packs, like Island Living, Cottage Living, and High School Years, but this one actually feels like an expansion.
Fallout: Factions – Nuka-World tabletop review
It's an impressive package containing two gangs, a pile of nice cardboard terrain, a paper gaming mat, bespoke dice, tokens, gang roster sheets, the rulebook, and even a Fallout-branded tape measure. This was my first experience with Modiphius's multi-part miniatures and on the whole I'm quite impressed with them.
Visions of Mana review: Stunning visuals and combat, but lacking emotional pay-off
Visions of Mana review: Stunning visuals and combat, but lacking emotional pay-off. Visions of Mana is a feast for the senses, but it's let down by a lack of emotional oomph. We all expect JRPGs to be visually arresting.
Nikoderiko: The Magical World review – Bouncy, bright, and brilliant
While it's clear the game would not exist without the likes of Crash Bandicoot or Donkey Kong, this is nostalgia done right. There are familiar ideas in the adventure, but each is transformed in a way that makes the journey of Niko and Luna feel so wonderfully creative, bright, and consistently brilliant along the way.
The Good Life Review – An existential murder mystery in sheep’s clothing
If you ask Naomi, she’ll tell you it’s a ‘goddamn hellhole’, which quickly becomes her catchphrase. But much like any other town tucked away in the English countryside, Rainy Woods really is peaceful and picturesque. Free from the hustle and bustle, it’s the perfect place to live a good life.
Star Wars Outlaws review: Lots of fun no matter how you slice it
t's pretty fun actually but it's not a groundbreaking game or game of the year by any means. If you're a Star Wars fan and you enjoy the criminal gang aspects of the Underworld then you'll like this. If you're into open-world adventures with a sci-fi setting then you'll like this.
Sonic X Shadow Generations review – Reborn in darkness
As a complete package, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a fantastic successor, and one that goes much further beyond the original game. For those who played Sonic Generations, rest assured, this is a strong remaster of the original adventure, complete with shiny new graphics.
