Pure, childlike happiness – Sackboy: A Big Adventure review

For many, the LittleBigPlanet series was what a lot of players grew up on. For me, that’s quite the opposite. You see, I skipped the PS3 and chose the Xbox 360 as the console to introduce me to that generation of games. Just like PS3 players of the LittleBigPlanet

A shoddy shooter X-perience – PositronX review

PositronX is easily Scorpius Games’ most ambitious title yet. From publishing TankYou! — a twin-stick arena shooting game — to developing I Shall Remain — a post-apocalyptic action RPG — Scorpius Games have delved further into the action shooter genre to come up with PositronX. PositronX is a futuristic FPS title that follows in

Who knew VR battle royale could be so fun? – Population: One review

To make a successful and (most importantly) fun game, it needs to be unique in its own way or the first of its kind. We see a lot of FPS or battle royale titles that copy aspects of other successful titles and try to make it their own. Some are

Lots of icing, not enough cake – Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition review

The first real-time strategy game I played was Age of Empires 2, and that was because it came as a free game in a cereal box. Yes, the amazing AOE 2 was basically a free game. As a result, strategy games have held a special place in my heart, and

Seriously fun, seriously… silly – Serious Sam 4 review

It’s crazy to think the last time we had a new main series Serious Sam game was almost 10 years ago. Serious Sam 3: BFE was moderately well-received (72% on Metacritic), and since then there’s been numerous spin-off titles like Serious Sam: The Greek Encounter and Serious Sam

If Rube Goldberg made a puzzle game, it’d be a repetitive mess like this one – Relicta review

You know what I miss? A solid puzzler, the likes of which you’d find in The Talos Principle, Portal, even Human Fall Flat. These games have a cult following behind them, and two of them are still alive in the modding community. Relicta, developed by Mighty Polygon and published
