Frostpunk Review – You’re A Cold As Ice

11 Bit Studios brings us Frostpunk, an innovative city-building game set in a post-apocalyptic frozen England. Time to dig out my boots, snowshoes and put hot soup in my thermos. This adventure looks like it could be a long one. Gameplay A band of people gather, they set off to create a new world where they can thrive. It's very cold and many will not make the perilous journey. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will make it, not only make it, but the people will look up to me and in my hands will be the responsibility of creating the last city on earth and saving humanity. Pressure off, if I fail, no one will ever read the history books. Frostpunk starts out by giving me three options, I can play a specific scenario from the main game, play endless mode, or I can play 'A New Home...

Vampyr Nintendo Review – Fang You For The Music

Vampyr is a Switch port of the multi-platform success story from Dontnod entertainment, also of Life is Strange fame. It is published by Focus Home Interactive and released on 29th October 2019. Vampyr takes you back to early 20th century London and asks you to step into the brogues of the newly-fanged Doctor Jonathan Reid. Your task is to uncover the cause of your sudden thirst for blood and, depending upon how charitable you’re feeling, help or feast upon the various residents you come across. Does Vampyr suck, or will you go batty for it? Gameplay Vampyr is a mish-mash of genres, with the introductory section of the game teaching you how to fight and flee as you are pursued by the Guard of Priwen, a gang of nasty cockney vampire hunters who serve as primary antagonists through ...

Attack On Titan 2: Final Battle Review – Attack on Titan Transformed

Over a year ago, Omega Force developed and released Attack On Titan 2 which swiftly became one of my favourite games of that year. Now, over a year later, the development team have been hard at work creating Attack On Titan 2: Final Battle which isn't just a small DLC package, but an upgrade to an already brilliant game. The changes are huge and the changes are plenty. Omega Force hasn't just created some more story content, but completely refined and repackaged the original title as well. Strap yourselves in because I am now going to try and convince you why you should absolutely play this game. Gameplay For anyone who hasn't played any Attack on Titan games before, I'll explain briefly. In the base game, you play as your own created character and interact with characters from the anime...

The Surge 2 Review – Techno Prisoners

Picture the scene. Dark Souls and Deus Ex are curled up together on the sofa. Light from a nearby Yankee Candle gleams in their eyes, the Clean Cotton scent reminding them of summer tumbles beneath swaying washing line. A few unfinished oysters sweat smugly on an earthenware plate, their brothers and sisters having already played their part in stoking the fires of both games’ loins. Dark Souls says it should be getting home, it has to do the school run in the morning. Deus Ex says “It’s dark and rainy outside, you could stay in the bed. I’ll sleep down here.” Dark Souls heart leaps… this is what it wanted, maybe what it has always wanted. It knows it can’t continue to hold Deus Ex’s gaze lest the two should dissolve together for all eternity… but it’s too late. Their lips tremble before...

Warhammer: Chaosbane Beta PC – A refreshing Action-RPG

I've always been a fan of Diablo and have recently re-discovered my love for Diablo 3 since its release on the Nintendo Switch, Warhammer: Chaosbane caught my eye. Upon first looking at the game, developed by Eko Software, you could be forgiven for comparing it to Diablo but upon playing it, you soon release that Warhammer: Chaosbane has simply been inspired by it and added the whole world of Warhammer by placing right into the heart of the game. There are a few good Warhammer games out at present with the release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 recently and Last year Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr which also was an Action RPG but didn't score that high. The game is currently in Beta which runs from March the 7th until March the 13th and it's officially released on the 4th of...

Sea of Thieves Review – The Seas Have Calmed

It has been a whilesince Rare’s swashbuckling title, Sea of Thieves launched. A highly anticipated title with many players, including myself being desperate to jump into the salty seas. However, to point out again, it has been a while since Sea of Thieves launched, and I feel it’s a good time to see how the game plays now that the tide of excitement has lowered. I saw Sea of Thieves grow from way back in the early months of 2017. Playtests had just got started in fact. I think I was the second wave of players to get accepted, but I didn’t get to play much. I knew from my short time with it though, that it was something nice and that the community was excited amongst one another in the private forums. February 2018 saw more playtests taking place as the game grew closer to launch,...

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review – Stack Rats on Rats on Rats

Using fire, axes, bows, and a healthy dose of name calling wage an all out battle against the forces of both rats and evil northmen in Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Fatshark released Warhammer: End Times-Vermintide through Steam in 2015 amongst positive reviews. Following the familiar structure of Left4Dead it introduced us to the world of Warhammer and how much fun bashing in hordes of rat people can be. On March 8, 2018 they brought us Warhammer: Vermintide 2 for the PC to my excitement. Now after a month since release let’s see how it’s holding up. Gameplay Verminide 2 doesn’t change the future of co-op gaming. But man does it improve upon it. You start in a tutorial as Markus Kruber, one of the five classes to play in this game, who has been captured and placed into a cag...

The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 Review – BWitched, BKilling, B*Happy

Nippon Ichi Software bring us The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, the sequel to this original release in 2013. The big question is 'Have they managed to sway the indifference that met the first release?' Well I guess it's time to polish my armour, after all, after 100 years it's going to need a little TLC. Gameplay The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 tells the story of 2 sisters, Amelie and Milm. Amelie is a headstrong young girl who wants to protect her younger sister, and Milm has been possessed by an evil witch called Ckelka. You get to be the Hundred Knight and kill lots of things for them both, well all three of them if you are going to be picky. The learning curve on this game is very shallow, and anyone who has read my previous reviews will know that I am now in my element. Mo...

God of War Review – A Calmer Ghost of Sparta?

Yes, it’s that time… The Spartan himself, Kratos has returned in his first new adventure for the PS4. He's no longer happy with tormenting the gods from the Greek Mythos, he now wants to put the Norse gods in their place as well. God of War from Sony's Santa Monica Studios is one of, if not THE most anticipated PS4 Exclusive of the year. I know it’s one I’ve personally been looking forward to since it was first announced. Having collected and played every other release multiple times, it was torture when I found out the game was sat patiently at home for me while I was at work (Yes I considered going home sick just to play it... but I’m a model employee so I did my job and kept my Kratos rage at bay!) As it is always the case with the God of War series, the story starts off with a tr...
