Review: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
I have a tricky relationship with tactical games. I’m not really a thinking man when it comes to gaming, so I usually prefer ‘shoot the thing’ to ‘position yourself and then shoot at the thing’. But tactical games have made great strides in the last few years and they’ve gone from being obtuse and difficult […]
Review: HITMAN 2
The HITMAN games are some of my favourites ever, and I think the reason is that they feature such creative ways of killing people. While other games focus on more vanilla means of murder like guns and swords, the HITMAN games want you to be a little smarter. HITMAN games have always offered elaborate murder […]
Review: Party Hard 2
Often, the objective of a game is to have as much fun as possible. GTA, Skyrim, Fallout, these games are all about letting you do all manner of crazy sandbox stuff. However, Party Hard was a game that was about the total opposite, namely stopping someone’s fun. The premise was fairly simple: it’s 3 AM […]
Review: At Sundown
Lately, it feels like I’ve been playing a lot of online multiplayer, so when I saw ‘At Sundown’ I got pretty excited. I’ve got a soft spot for local multiplayer games because I believe there really is a different energy to them that brings out everyone’s most competitive side. Local multiplayer games are also expected […]
Review: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
When it comes to Ubisoft, I have a sort of admiration for a key franchise of theirs: Assassin’s Creed. After seeing the game evolve from a simple adventure game to dabbling around with multiple new game mechanics and settings, last year’s Assassin’s Creed Origin marked one hell of a change for the series. Ditching the […]
Review: Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered
Ever since the dawn of the new generation consoles, a nostalgic wave of remastered has been flooding the market, with most publishers trying to cash in on a quick buck. While some are famously known for this like Square Enix or Capcom with their endless ports of Final Fantasy and Resident Evil games to name […]
Review: Assassin’s Creed Origins
The games in the Assassin’s Creed series are truly modern-day classics. While the first title felt like a fresh take on Prince of Persia, it had some rough edges and felt like it could have done more. The second, however, was an absolute masterpiece that fleshed out the concept and created a memorable storyline of […]
Review: Dishonored: Death of the Outsiders
Less than a year after the excellent Dishonored 2 (which you can read our review on our site), Arkane Studios decided to expand on the franchise with a standalone chapter called Death of the Outsider. This time, Corvo and Emily leave the spotlight for Billy Lurk, which was introduced in the Dishonored 2, an ex-associate of […]
Review: Prey
Since the days of Arx Fatalis, French-based Arkane Studios has come a long way, establishing itself as a talented developer, working on projects like Bioshock, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and even Call of Duty: World at War’s multiplayer, but eventually rose to fame with critically acclaimed Dishonored series. Only a couple of months after the […]
Review: 2Dark
Survival and horror are two terms associated to Frédérick Raynal back in his days at Infogrames, for a game known for its major influence of the video game genre: Alone in the Dark. Returning to business on his own with a small team and studio call Gloomywood, they give us an independent survival-horror game called 2Dark, which […]
