Age of Empires 4 Review - The Return of the RTS King

game review27 October 2021

Age of Empires IV proves there’s still a place for classic RTS games in 2021. Developers have brilliantly adapted the well-known formula to modern realities. Hopefully, this will not be the last part of the series, but a completely new beginning.

Back 4 Blood Review - Bloody Brilliant or Dead on Arrival?

game review21 October 2021

B4B has so much potential and may end up being a near-perfect game. For the time being, it’s a solid bit of zombie slaying fun that’s a cut above some of the other undead shooting gallery games out there.

Taking place on a tropical island during a revolution, Far Cry 6’s plot reads like a page out of a Cuban history book. But its themes, wacky weapons, and fictional characters give it a charm of its own.

Medieval Dynasty Review: To Heir Is Human

game review22 September 2021

If Animal Crossing was set in the Middle Ages and featured more realistic survival and crafting mechanics, it would be called Medieval Dynasty. Killing animals for food would also have to be there.

Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?

Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?

game review13 September 2021

Deathloop is awash in retro 60’s style but at the cost of real substance. Clunky gunplay and only a handful of special abilities hold what could have been a great game back. The time travel plot had promise but untimely goes unrealized.

Encased Review: Is the Old School Still in Session?

game review07 September 2021

Encased is a solid game, yet one that struggles with its own nature. Despite being conductive to genuine emotions, the old school's biggest flaw is that it's old. Read more in our review.

WRC 10 Review - Nacon’s Penultimate Chance to Beat Codemasters

game review31 August 2021

Have you heard that Codemasters is taking over the WRC licence in 2023? This means WRC 10 is probably the penultimate title in the series from Nacon and KT Racing. Will these games be remembered with nostalgy? I believe so, despite their flaws.
