Few developers have as strong a track-record with downloadable content as From Software. Each of the expansions they’ve released for their games from Dark Souls onward have been spectacular, building on the core experience and further refining it. They almost always end up being some of the best parts of those games and Bloodborne is…
In the age of the HD remasters, it was a wonder it took this long for the Uncharted games to see a re-release. But wonder no more, as the collection is here, and for all intents and purposes, it’s pretty much the way you’d want to play these games if you own a PlayStation 4….
SOMA is a fantastic science fiction tale that just happens to be trapped within the limitations of the medium it was designed for. As a horror game, it’s by far Frictional Games’ best, with one of the best conceits and design ever to come out of Amnesia: The Dark Descent‘s developers. Unlike the first Amnesia, which oozed…
Just embrace the wacky in Alex Jackson’s video review of Rock Band 4.
Broforce is just about the sloppiest kiss you could get of 1980s nostalgia today. Surely, the over the top presentation wears thin rather quickly, but in the window of time it’s in effect, you’re bound to have a good time in this game with friends or randoms, via drop-in drop-out multiplayer, or by playing solo. As…
There’s a sense of profound satisfaction when you make it through one of Galak-Z‘s mission. It’s not only because they are difficult and thrilling to play, but also because everything is on the line all the time. One death means complete and utter failure in Galak-Z, and unlike any game I might have happened to…
Armello is an interesting blend of genres and ideas. It’s a strategy meets card game hybrid with some role-playing elements thrown on top. It seeks to recreate the tabletop experience in videogame form, such that it not only plays like one, but captures the look and feel too. From its aesthetics to its rules and…
Franz Kafka. You’ve probably heard the name before at the very least, even if you haven’t read any of his works. Kafka is regarded today as one of the most influential writers of the 20th Century, writing a large collection of short stories alongside several novellas such as The Metamorphosis and The Trial. Kafka’s writing…
First rule of storytelling: Is this the most interesting part of your protagonist’s life? If it isn’t, why aren’t you showing us that? Persona 4 way back in 2008 was a fairly fresh RPG with an eclectic and timeless cast. Then Atlus followed up a few years later with Arena and its fantastic sequel, and…
Of all film franchises that have had any influence of videogames, the one that I can imagine have made the deepest contribution has got to be the Mad Max series. Games like Borderlands and The Last of Us have painted gorgeously distopic experiences, each on their own unique way, based somewhat on what Mad Max…
