Giant Sparrow’s PS3 game finally comes to PC! An immediately captivating start is followed by clever explorations of mechanics that make for a delightful game which doesnt outstay its welcome. Get it!

If you thought this IP was a strange fit for a Destiny-like, you’d be right. It’s OK when it works, but is mostly clumsy, confused, forced and buggy. Combat is OK, movement is clunky. Should be f2p.

Fresh & clever, Ring of Pain’s simplistic inputs bely its depth and difficulty. Absolutely stunning art, haunting music and great sound are underpinned by a fun and addictive gameplay loop. Love it.

Short but heartwarming narrative platformer with an interesting hook. Sadly, it’s not explored too much from a gameplay perspective, but the story is cute if a little heavy-handed towards the end.

Do you like organising and sorting things? Do you like cute art and low-pressure, low-stakes gameplay? If so, you’ll like this game. It’s simple but cheerful and charming. The co-op is great too.

It’s wickedly fun, no doubt about it. Frenetic, insane combat like the one that came before it. But I can’t help but feel it’s a little too self-aware now, and may have edged into genuine cheese.

“They don’t make them like they used to.” A true classic, at this point an isometric turn-based RPG. Far from perfect, but a remarkable achievement.

Certainly one of the most influential RPGs of its era. Some of its predecessors frustrations are still present, but almost everything is improved - indeed, the sheer amount to do is enormous.

Potentially the best Fallout game. Potentially one of the best RPGs. Just play it.

It is a Far Cry game. You get what you expect. I’m bored of it and this does nothing to turn that around.
