This game is an absolute masterpiece, and should be played by everyone. Anyone who enjoys Naughty Dog games like Uncharted or Last of Us should go out and immediately pick this game up. It’s heartbreaking story and imaginative setting will sit with you long after you pry the controller from your hands. The gameplay is fast, complex and accessible enough for anyone to pick up … Continue reading Horizon Zero Dawn Video Review
The Witness feels like it’s living in the shadow of better puzzle games. While the graph-based challenges are about 20 hours of fun, and I could see me plowing my way through a book of them, there’s nothing to reward your dedication. It’s beautiful, but there’s no music, no story, no discernible themes; it’s a complete and utter wash outside of figuring out where to … Continue reading The Witness Video Review
Disco Dodgeball is a game that anyone who enjoys first person shooters should honestly consider. Sadly, there’s not a huge fan base with this game, but the ones that are there are friendly and supportive, and there’s a nice catalogue of guides to help you learn the ropes. It’s non-stop frantic fun that gets more rewarding as you become a stronger droid, and nothing tops … Continue reading Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball Video Review
Polyslash is introducing its newest game Phantaruk, a survival-horror game set on the spaceship Purity-02. Set in the distant future, the Purity-02 is a biological research lab that is helping to develop new technology in the field of transhumanism. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it’s a movement that wishes to create a post-human subculture that takes the soul of humans but puts them … Continue reading Explore The Horrors Of Transhumanism In Phantaruk
There Came An Echo never feels repetitive due to a lot of different scenarios and a flowing narrative, but it’s confusing storyline, and one-day length can turn a lot of people off. Using voice commands could be an excellent sub-genre of gaming, and this is the closest I’ve seen any studio getting to making it successful. While I laud the developers for tackling this style … Continue reading There Came An Echo Review
Soul Axiom is one of those games that’s a real mixture of too smart, too slow, too engaging and too simple for its own good. It has everything you want in this kind of experience, but it makes you work for it. The engaging storyline and tough puzzles don’t kick in until halfway through the experience that ends on a much stronger note. Like a … Continue reading Soul Axiom Review
Fragments of Him is an empathy game, through and through. If you’re not into these kinds of games, list it as a ‘walking simulator’ and keep on stepping. If you’re into emotional experiences, know that this isn’t the best out there. It feels pretty amateurish; like an ambitious and heartfelt project that turned into a sophomore’s poem. There are some impressive moments, brilliant camera work … Continue reading Fragments Of Him Video Review
Corpse Party is everything you want in a scary game. It’s mood and tone pull you in and never seem to let you go. The haunting story is one that’s guaranteed to make you cringe and explores some heavy themes and horrifying scenarios. While the game does show its age, the developers are like no-armed artists who have painted a fantastically frightening landscape with their … Continue reading Corpse Party Review
Lumo’s platforming and puzzles are simply fantastic. The diverse challenges have a few you’ll breeze through, and then suddenly you’ll be hit by one that takes a few minutes to figure it out. There’s plenty of hidden items and difficult collectables to pick up, and doing so even unlocks a mystery in the end. The graphics are a brilliant exercise in simplicity, while the music … Continue reading Lumo Review
Epistory nails a lot of the hallmarks of a good adventure game, but it’s interesting typing premise brings down the experience. While I respect their ambitions to make a game where you switch between movement and typing, it might take you a long while before you feel comfortable with the setup. It’s not a bad game by any means, and if you’re looking for a … Continue reading Epistory: Typing Chronicles Review
I wish I could say I loved this game. It’s the kind of experience we need more of in our ‘Generic Knight’, beat up the bad guy era of gaming. I’m a defender of empathy games, and I love putting myself in the shoes of other people. While it doesn’t commit the cardinal sin of being boring, it does lack a clear direction. After two … Continue reading Between Me and The Night Review
