Zen Studios originally brought the magic of pinball to the virtual world back in 2007 with Pinball FX. It had a few tables at launch and there were a batch of additional offerings available via downloadable content. Skip ahead well over a decade, bypassing two rather successful sequels, and now the whole concept is getting a reboot. Pinball FX has risen from the ashes as a free-to-play hub for all your pinball needs, but is it the next logical step for the franchise or a step in the wrong direction?
Aabs Animals is less a game and more a transaction. It’s a shifty guy in a dark alley selling 1000G for £7.99. “Just look at a cat mate”, he says, as he pockets the cash and runs giggling over the horizon.
You can give us all the choices in the world, and they won’t mean anything if none of them are satisfying. And that’s the problem in Twice Reborn: A Vampire Visual Novel.
After a decent outing in the form of Legend of Keepers: Career of a Dungeon Manager, Goblinz Studio are back with a collectible card game featuring roguelike and RPG components, Iris and the Giant. When done right, CCGs in combination with those elements outlined above have the potential to be very addictive. Such titles like Slay the Spire, Monster Slayers and Monster Train can hook you in for hours, leaving you yearning for just another go.
Cleopatra Fortune S-Tribute plays very well and is a lot of fun. It is a shame about the Mystery Mode though as it is - as the name suggests - a completely impenetrable mystery which leaves us with pretty much half a game.
Memory is one towering cliche, with Liam Neeson playing the same role that he’s played for almost two decades, just with visible creaks and with nothing that lodges in the memory at all.
You will probably be fairly impressed with Dead Station. It is short, don’t get me wrong, but for only £4.19, it is a reasonable price for a reasonable game.
