Pikmin 3 Deluxe – A Very Juicy Upgrade

Pikmin 3 has returned from its WiiU limbo. Now I loved the WiiU; I am definitely a WiiU apologist and a big fan of Nintendo in general. Let's be honest though, the console flopped and as a result, the games went largely unseen by a lot of gamers. Seeing all of these games make a welcome return to the Switch is brilliant and Pikmin 3 Deluxe highlights this. Hopefully, Nintendo continues this trend with the likes of Windwaker and Twilight Princess. Pikmin first debuted on GameCube and whilst I did dabble in it, I never really played much of it. In fact, hearing the phrase "real-time strategy on console" is enough to make most gamers cower in fear. The series, however, has a huge following and there is even a much-anticipated Pikmin 4 in the works. Gameplay As I say, Pikmin 3 Deluxe ...

Partisans 1941 – Escape To The Motherland

Partisans by devs Alter Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment is a real-time tactical stealth game set on the eastern front of WW2. Playing your part in the war effort as a Russian army commander stuck behind enemy lines, it is down to you to rally the locals in order to form a group of Partisans, the dictionary definition being "a member of an armed group formed to fight secretly against an occupying force, in particular one operating in German-occupied Yugoslavia, Italy, and parts of Eastern Europe in the Second World War." Can you make it out alive? Gameplay Partisans is certainly an interesting game to play and one that really made me think at every stage in the game as death is very easily come by. Partisans come across as a mixture of Commandos and Xcom in that you ha...

Transformers: Battlegrounds – Not Much More Than Meets The Eye…

The Transformers are back! After a turbulent modern-history, the Transformers have returned to the video game world with Transformers: Battlegrounds. Creating a new Transformers video game franchise is tricky; Activision nailed the franchise with the incredible War for Cybertron and the follow-up Fall of Cybertron. We don't talk about part 3. After they butchered that franchise by tying it into the incredibly polarising movie franchise they did give the Generation 1 Transformers a go in the 2015 game Transformers: Devastation. Historically this licence is a tricky one to get right in video game form, but there has been success over the years. This is now the first major Transformers game since Activision lost the licence. What Coatsink has done with Transformers: Battlegrounds is ta...

Space Crew – Bomber Crew Revamped

The number of simulator games on the market these days is incredible, but a lot of them aren't really that challenging. Space Crew is another level and if you take your eyes off the ship of moments, there is a chance you end up with an inferno on your hands. Trust me, I have had enough of these now to safely say STAY AWAY from them. The team over at Curve Digital bring you this extremely tactical space crew/ship simulator, which is very much like their older classic Bomber Crew. Just in space this time and not on board an aircraft. So how did I fair? And will I be taking my career further? Keep on reading to find out. Gameplay Starting the game on with a tutorial mode is the correct way to develop a sim game, otherwise, you run the risk of been stuck in your own little world without a cl...

Necromunda: Underhive Wars – Necromundane

There have been many games released set in the Warhammer 40k universe. There have been some particularly outstanding titles, but not all of them were winners.

So let's roll up our sleeves and take a look.
