Daedalic’s promising futuristic thriller falls disappointingly flat.
Category: Reviews
Review: Cosmic Star Heroine (Switch)
This classic-style JRPG has an excellent battle system – and invites favourable comparisons with Chrono Trigger.
Review: Iconoclasts (PS4)
You know how people are saying Iconoclasts is one of the best games this year? Yeah, about that…
Review: Pato Box (Switch)
Yep, it’s a duck-based, film noir Punch-Out. Holy quack!
Review: Unforeseen Incidents (PC)
Funny, clever and utterly gorgeous, Unforeseen Incidents has quickly risen to become my favourite ever point and click adventure.
Review: Super Destronaut DX (PS4)
It’s Space Invaders! Again! But even though Super Destronaut DX throws in a few innovations, there’s not much to hold your attention for long.
Review: Dead Cells (PS4)
This Rogue-like Metroidvania is rock hard but thoroughly enjoyable. Reanimated corpses have never been so much fun.
Review: Bomber Crew (Switch)
Don’t let its cutesy looks fool you – Bomber Crew is a hard-as-nails wartime experience.
Better Late Than Never: Gravity Rush Remastered
Six years after its release, I’ve finally played Gravity Rush. And it’s an absolute belter.
Review: SpiritSphere DX (Switch)
It’s hockey crossed with Zelda and a dash of Street Fighter II – and it’s a lot of fun with a friend.
Review: Moonlighter (PS4)
Moonlighter is a dungeon crawler mashed up with a retail game – and it’s utterly fantastic.
Review: The Banner Saga 2 (Switch)
The Banner Saga 2 improves on the battles of the previous game, but like the first one, it’s really all about the story.
Review: Pode (Switch)
Pode is a co-op Nintendo Switch game with a cutesy looks but fiendishly difficult puzzles. And you can hold hands. Awww.
Review: West of Loathing (Switch)
Comedy stick-figure RPG West of Loathing has made its way over to Switch, with all the funny walks and googly-eyed horses intact. And it’s a absolute beaut.
Review: The Banner Saga (Switch)
Stoic’s beautifully written Nordic saga has finally found its way over to Switch, and the storytelling is as electric as ever.
Review: Lake Ridden (PC)
An intriguing, narrative-driven puzzler, Lake Ridden harks back to the heyday of Myst as protagonist Marie searches for her lost sister.
Review: Super Chariot (Switch)
The ghost of your dad is badgering you to lug his coffin to a suitable burial spot. Welcome to one of the Switch’s most unusual and brilliant platformers.
Review: The Fall (Switch)
The Fall has been out for a while, but this eerie tale of an AI spacesuit on a desperate quest to save its ailing occupant has now found its way to Nintendo Switch. And it’s still really good.
Review: The Adventures of Elena Temple (Switch)
The Adventures of Elena Temple painstakingly recreates the feel of playing a game from the 1980s on a Game Boy or Apple II – complete with blurry bedroom backgrounds. Welcome to the new nostalgia.
Review: The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 (PS4)
It’s repetitive, admin-heavy and ridiculously sexualised, but for a small niche of players, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 could be a lot of fun.
