INSIDE combines light platforming with simple but clever environmental puzzles in a similar fashion to LIMBO, Playdead's previous game. Unlike LIMBO, the comparatively detailed art style allows for more complex themes and ideas to be explored and lore to be interpreted. The puzzles are less abstract to fit with the more grounded world which constrains their complexity but they’re still satisfying and still manage to…
Remedy 's first Woo / Matrix inspired, action packed, third-person shooter in the Payne franchise delivers on what you might expect yet is somewhat limited in scope compared to their future efforts. People might remember the Max Payne games as a moody homage to noire detective thrillers, interrupted by bouts of exaggerated slow motion action but the reality on both accounts is surprisingly different. The story…
This is not a game. This is a playable documentary through a series of one developer's personal game projects (strange interactive art pieces), expressing emotional states, stages of life, and themes like anxiety, depression, isolation, fulfilment, validation, voyeurism, interference, confidence, and communication. +It's emotionally engaging, featuring honest but sometimes unreliable narration from the developer…
Fallout shelter is a management sim in the of style of XCOM: Enemy Unknown's base development. You'll have to nurture and oversee the growth of your vault and the dwellers within, reacting to their every need.

New protagonist Adam Jenson procrastinates with cigarette Deus Ex: Human Revolution (released in 2011 by Eidos Montreal ) is a bold re-imagining of the genre defining mix of first person shooting, stealth, hacking, exploration and decision making that the original PC game was known for. I recently decided to play HR in anticipation for the sequel Deus Ex: Mankind Divided . This is my first Deus Ex game but I’m…
Since I had heard so much praise about this game, my expectations were (perhaps a little too ) high, which in the end made me feel a little disappointed. Anyhow, Jazzpunk starts off strong with one of the best intros ever, rivaling D4 which also came out in 2014. A lose narrative flings a series of strange scenarios your way as you encounter clever gags in a weird cold war/sci-fi/tripping balls world. The very…
Metro 2033 Redux is a remake of the popular video game Metro 2033 and is sold standalone & boxed alongside Metro: Last Light Redux. As it is sold separately and is a game in its own right, this review will only cover Metro 2033 Redux. Metro is at its best when you're crawling around dark, dank tunnels in hope of scrounging ammo or gas mask filters whilst being kept on your toes by the human enemies patrolling the…
Floating Point is a free game released by Tom Francis although it's less of a game and more of an interactive screensaver; which isn't an insult as it's mesmerizing colours and shapes combined with the simplistic but engaging gameplay make for an engrossing experience. The game succeeds in being engaging due to the simple but well tuned physics which involve you grappling to different shapes and swinging in circular…
