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.
Submerged: Hidden Depths review – The water’s fine
Where Submerged: Hidden Depths falters a little is in its storytelling. There's a heavy reliance on the written book entries you find around the map that communicate lore, and the story of how the world came to be as it is – finding all fifty-six entries will give you a full understand of the story.
Stray Review – So Exquisitely, Believably Cat-like
Stray is a good game, even great at times. It has some very well designed levels, it looks fantastic, it has an intriguing story, and it does a fairly decent job of making you feel like a cat exploring a new world. But while it does those things well, it has many areas that don't keep up.
The Plucky Squire review A real page turner
Atmosphere-wise, The Plucky Squire is a top-notch game. There's no doubt that it's a wonder to look at in both 2D and 3D. The hand-drawn 2D sprites are a joy to look at, especially all the types of enemies.
Thank Goodness You’re Here review Thank goodness for video games
Thank Goodness You're Here! takes every weird thought you've ever had and makes it seem normal by comparison. It's an experience more than anything and I would play this again time and time again. The cozy score merely reflects how relaxing a game is and does not impact the review score.
Nobody Saves the World Review – Fine forms
Nobody Saves the World is an action RPG in concept, but some standard conventions of the genre are downplayed in favour of more exciting, action-focussed challenges. For example, experience points are not gained by defeating enemies, but by how you defeat them.
Power Rangers Rita’s Rewind review – best with a team
Rita's Rewind is a sincere, often enjoyable game that will give long-time Power Rangers fans a pleasant burst of nostalgia. It cares about the franchise, and it nails the looks, the sounds, and the vibes of the series.
Webbed review Effortlessly playful
Webbed casts you as a jumping spider whose only problem in life is that her gloriously colourful mate has just been kidnapped by a frankly terrifying bowerbird
