There is a reason why Istanbul is so celebrated. Once you’ve learned the value of each of its locations - and the tutorial won’t help you with that information - then things click, and you will feel eventually pull off some sensational plays.
The very similar Addams’ Family: Mansion Madness is leagues ahead of Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures, and brings the fun and laughs for four players. In the family-friendly horror stakes, there’s only one winner.
Zero Escape: The Nonary Games is like a mix between a Telltale game and an old school point and clicker, taking the best from both of those genres. It’s something very different and worth trying.
Boreal Tenebrae may not be for everyone however if you are a fan of the unknown or love to be transported to worlds completely original, this is worthy of a place in your library. It is one of the most unique and oddly compelling titles that has been released in recent times.Â
Glam’s Incredible Run: Escape from Dukha is a fundamentally flawed game which offers something for the platforming sadists out there, but not enough to recommend it to everyone else.
If future Judgment games involve Kaito as the primary protagonist, he is off to an excellent start in Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files. His past is explored in customary fashion and he passes with flying colours.
Sally Face is an excellent piece of creative work, especially in terms of story and visuals. It is truly original and takes you on an amazing journey over its five chapters.
We didn’t realise how much we’d missed the episodic story framework of a Telltale game, and Road 96 - while not being from Telltale - is a long-lost cousin to it.
Radioactive Dwarfs: Evil From the Sewers is nowhere near as much fun as it purports to be. We were hoping for a Toxic Avenger-style romp through B-movie levels, but it doesn’t have the smarts or the gameplay to pull that off.
The big talking point is the number of hours of charge you’re going to be getting from the Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX - the 48+ hours that Turtle Beach have promised is nothing short of ridiculous.
Farming isn’t considered the most exciting nor glamorous activity in the world, but the developers over at Samobee Games are looking to change that. Step forward Princess Farmer as it tries to inject a bit of glam to the farming life with some match-3 puzzling enveloped in a visual novel. Does Princess Farmer possess enough pizzazz to shine as both a puzzler and a visual novel, or is it lacking the necessary sparkle to thrive in either department?
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a great addition to the Borderlands universe. The characters and story are great, the presentation is bang on, and the combat is as good as ever.
Super Cyborg is one of those games that will draw you in, as you test yourself with one more try, again and again. The sense of accomplishment you receive from completing a stage certainly makes it worth it.
