Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Extension of 2020's best 2D beat-em-up How do you top one of the best comebacks of 2020 with a year's worth of turnaround? If you're a small indie team, you don't. You just make use of what you have to creatively craft and capitalize on what makes the game great in the first place...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5 Genre: Adventure, Narrative Consequence, Story Choice, Single-Player Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol is probably one of the most adapted works in fiction, either directly or indirectly. I specifically refer to the concept of the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come (or Future). The idea of bearing witness...
If Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was trying to be Scream, then Fear Street Part 2: 1978 is clearly evoking the so-called golden age of slashers by emulating the setting of Friday The 13th. That's no secret, considering that the second movie in this trilogy brings us back to the late 70s to an idyllic camp by a serene lake, or so we thought. The first...
A slasher is a subgenre of horror films with decades of history. At its core, slasher films usually involve a killer murdering a group of victims, usually using a tool that's a blade of some kind. From 1960's Psycho to franchises like Halloween, Friday The 13th and Scream, the slasher genre is extremely popular, albeit one that's lost its lustre si...
Having reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra a while back, picking up the Samsung S21 5G feels akin to jumping from a finely tuned track car into the seat of a roadworthy version of the same model. Everything from the feel to performance felt familiar, yet much more ... civilized. Where the Ultra boasted industrial-like specs and a body made of ...
Platform(s): Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: Action RPG with sci-fi and loads of loveable anime tropes In the first hour or so of Bandai Namco's action RPG entry Scarlet Nexus, it goes out of its way with its anime tropes. The plucky earnest male protagonist, the tsundere female who you can also choose to play as, the childhood frien...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Turn-Based Tactical Strategy, RPG The turn-based tactical strategy genre has been getting in its own renaissance of sorts in recent times, with popular games from the new XCOM titles and Switch exclusives like Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle or Fire Emblem Three Houses to indies like Into The Breach and more. Following in th...
Platforms: Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: Third-Person Hack & Slash Borefest We're fortunate to live in an era where the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons is accepted as a mainstream recreation within pop culture. You can't turn away from the corner of the internet without some of your pals Instagramming their D&D live RP...
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5 Genre: 2D Legend of Zelda action-adventure with MS Paint As someone in the creative field, I too have my fair share of self-doubt due to imposter syndrome. Sometimes I anxiously wonder if what I'm doing is for the greater good, whether people and peers alike will remember me for the mark I've left in this hobby-slash-j...
Platform(s): PS5 Genre: JRPG omake Final Fantasy VII Remake was one of the best games in 2020, and it showcased what a proper AAA remake could achieve, turning out to be one of the best games in the franchise in years. To clarify, this won't be a review of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (since the base game is almost exactly the same; it o...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: FPS, Sniper Simulator, Stealth That headline perfectly encapsulates what Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is about. I'm sure that anyone who's even interested in this game has a fantasy of being a badass deadeye sharpshooter expert. If that's all you want, then this game definitely del...
Update (17/11/2021): After a balance patch, a few character additions, and the game's network being more than stable, we've decided to tweak the game's score & review to reflect the effort Arc System Works has put to maintain the game. Plus, there aren't any noteworthy fighting games to add to our GOTY list this year, so this will have to do.Â...
Platform(s): PS5 Genre: Third-Person Shooter, Platformer, Action-Adventure Gamers usually have video game franchises that they grew up with fond memories of, which were also instrumental and influential in making them the gamers that they are today. For some, it might be Mario, Sonic or something else. For me, however, it was Insomniac Games...
Platform(s): PC (Version played), Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One Genre: 2D Shooter Tribute To Metal Slug, But With A Goose Sometimes, simplicity is the best policy. If you tell me that someone is making a 2D run-and-gun game in the veins of the classic Metal Slug series, but starring a cybernetic bounty hunter Goose fighting aliens instead of N...
Platform: PC Genre: Isometric action-adventure bug mecha-piloting chillax odyssey We know that mechas and mechs are huge lumbering walking death-dealing machines. However, the indie action-adventure game Stonefly (made by the same folks behind Creature In The Well) might change that perception. In this world where humans are Lilliputian in scal...
Platform: PC Genre: 2D Action Game At first glance, the Malaysian-made indie 2D platformer The Company Man starts off jovial and satirical. You play a corporate worker named Jim as he rises to the top, fighting co-workers in a big corporation in different sectors using his keyboard weapon like a sword and emails as projectiles. The first few...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Indie game, RPG, Survival game, Adventure, Simulation, Strategy One of my favourite game franchises is Creative Assembly's Total War series, and a huge part of that is playing siege battles in warfare. They are always exciting and fun, but they don't really bother to depict what it's like being a non-combatant during thes...
Platform(s): Xbox One (version played), PC, PS4 Genre: Sci-fi action RPG with furries I'll be frank: THQ Nordic and developer Experiment 101's big action role-playing game Biomutant took a few hours to click for me. Initially, you start off as an ass-kicking animal wanderer (whom you can customize from fur colour to class type) and are spoon...
Platform(s): Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: Extra 20 hours of last year's Ubisoft open-world game As if the original Assassin's Creed: Valhalla isn't massive enough, along comes the game's first DLC to make it a few more levels of "giant-sized". The Wrath of the Druids DLC adds more of what fans love about last year's AC game, but a...
If you aren't fatigued by the deluge of comic book movies and TV shows in 2021, Jupiter's Legacy will break your figurative back in that regard. This TV series Netflix adaptation of a Mark Millar and Frank Quitely comic book series in 2013 is about a group of old superheroes who want to pass the superheroics torch to their children. However, the...
