Occasionally a game will make a big statement by screaming that the experience will contain multiple endings, and that the choices you make will determine how the gameplay plays out. But let’s be honest there are a huge number of games out there that don’t exactly fulfil their promises. I’m not going to mention any
Xbox One
GreedFall is almost everything I want out of a big, juicy, old-school RPG. While it’s still lacking a lot of polish, the exciting combat and excellent, complex quest writing bring it very close to that winning formula of a mid-2000s BioWare game – something the developer, Spiders, has previously aimed for but missed with its
How many lost Antarctic explorers can one sinister castle hold? In the case of Castle Rock in our series of cooperative puzzle adventures, the answer is at least six! We Were Here Too is the second game in the series, following We Were Here which released in September! So after meeting the first two explorers
Though it’s been through some hard times over the past 19 years, KT Racing’s WRC series has been steadily improving since the French development team’s tenure with the license began in 2015, and WRC 8 represents its biggest leap in quality to date. Packed with outstanding stage design and bolstered by a number of welcome
Having escaped from a mental hospital in the point-and-click adventure Edna & Harvey: The Breakout back in 2008, the titular characters returned for a sequel in 2012’s Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes. Now, some seven years later, the developers at Daedalic Entertainment have decided to bring one of these games to the console market.

If there’s something strange in the neighbourhood, who you going to call? Well, please ring the police, but after you’ve exhausted all possibilities, you may well want to give the Ghostbusters a tinkle. Since the first film appeared in the mid-1980’s the general public have been enthralled by all things Ghostbusters, wheather that be the
The story begins when Sally learns that her father has become ill and heads to her home, where she has left a very long time ago. Sally’s Law explores the relationship between Sally and her critically ill father. As the game unfolds, the relationship between daughter and father will be unveiled. Along the way to
Impossible – adj: not able to occur, exist, or be done. Many optimistic people will tell you that ‘nothing is impossible’. In the case of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, impossible doesn’t necessarily mean the definition above, but it is rather tricky at times. And thankfully it’s all the better game for being so. Yooka-Laylee

As someone who spent many hours with Deck 13’s rather underappreciated Souls-esque RPG action title, The Surge, when it arrived back in 2017, the thought of a second outing amongst the technological wasteland of society’s remnants was one that I felt optimistic about. But have we fnally got an enjoyable alternative to the Dark Souls
Enemies in games have always fascinated me. Their design, their animations, their moveset and the underlying AI that rules them are all important facets that creates something that almost feels alive. The main protagonist is often the focus of any game, but I find that it is more often the enemies that will have the
With the arrival and rise of the Xbox Game Pass, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme has been pushed from its throne as the stand out Xbox-based feature, with the freebies that it offers rarely making a real impact into the lives of Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers. But with the start of a

Way back in the mists of time – 2014 in fact – the world was a very different place. I was getting used to the power of my shiny new Xbox One, and hearing that the next Forza Horizon title was due to be released on the platform had me very excited. I had loved

It’s fair to say that Crash Bandicoot is one of the most beloved characters and series of all time. These days, he is back on the gaming map, thanks to some brilliant remasters courtesy of Vicarious Visions and Beenox in the form of Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. And for the

It’s been eight years since the original Torchlight, developed by Runic Games, launched on Xbox 360 and there is no doubting its credentials in the dungeon crawler genre, with the only major complaints being that it didn’t last long enough and the story lacked. Switching the focus to Torchlight II though, a game that’s been

PES 2020 – to use its horrible full name – is one of Konami’s finest football games in years. Certainly of the console generation, but there’s an argument to say this is the best in what used to be known as the Pro Evolution Soccer series since PES’ PS2 pomp… even if the menus haven’t

If you’ve seen a trailer or any preview footage for Code Vein , the elevator pitch is clear: It’s an “anime Soulslike” – an action-RPG that promises the steep challenge and cautious combat that we’ve all become very acquainted with in recent years. Code Vein doesn’t simply layer generic anime style and storytelling on top
As I have played through Gears 5 for review purposes, and then carried on playing because it is quite frankly awesome, I got thinking about how the whole package hung together. I found myself thinking about my favourite parts of Gears 5, the highlight reel if you will, and wondered how my list of memorable

It’s a big year for Konami with the company celebrating 50 years of being in business, and over the last few months they’ve gone big with multiple launches of some the most entertaining titles of 2019. For now though it’s all about one game – Contra: Rogue Corps. Released today on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo
Playing Contra: Rogue Corps made me sad. It is absolutely not what I, as a lifelong fan of the series, expect out of a new Contra game in 2019. For one thing, it’s not good. For another, it feels like outside of tough difficulty and over-the-top co-op action, Konami has lost sight of what made
