Elex 2 review: a bonkers RPG hampered by unpleasant characters

Schlock for your system There is no context for this cameo. Billiam doesn’t feature as an NPC. In the 40-ish hours I spent playing the game, I had no reason to return to the amphitheatre. It makes no sense whatsoever and the only explanation I can come up with is that someone involved in the game really likes Billy Idol and just wanted him in their game. It’s the sort of random that I can respect, and I only wish the game had more....

Hero's Hour review: like eating a fistful of random jelly beans

Bless this mess Picture the scene: you are at the beach. It is a real-time strategy beach, where metaphors happen. A lawless-looking child hands you a bucket. When you look into the bucket, you find sand, paint, bread, pottery, chocolate, nails, and several crabs all speaking different languages. Isn’t this fascinating? What the hell is going on? This isHero’s Hour, an untidy RTS sand bucket filled with so many ideas it’s hard to see how this turbulent mix will have any structural integrity at all when you finally up-end the bucket to build a tower....

Little Orpheus review: an adventure that dazzles the eyes

Runs Laika dream That up there is Ivan Ivanovitch. He’s somewhere between Walter Mitty and Scheherazade. A man who invents successive tales of fantasy in an effort to stay his likely execution by an impatient general interrogating him in a dark room. Ivan is the little guy in every sense, small in stature, a hunching underdog to forces beyond his control. As the likeable hero ofLittle Orpheus, a vibrant modernising of the cinematic platformer, he builds a rapport with the general that carries the game as best it can through eight beautiful but ultimately formulaic levels....

Shadow Warrior 3 review: a promising arena shooter that squanders potential with repetition

Not so serious Sam To further shake things up this time round, Flying Wild Hog have tossed in some new movement options. Shadow Warrior 3 lets you wall-run, slide, double jump, dash, and use a grappling hook to either swing between areas or jump towards an unsuspecting demon. These enemies are a group of variously-sized and variably outlandish monsters with glowing red eyes and, e.g., accordion bodies that spit saw blades....

Small Saga is a Final Fantasy-style RPG where rodents wield switchblades and cigarette lighters

I’m worried for my cats As an owner of two cats who regularly bring home all manner of half-eaten wildlife from the neighbouring bins, hedgerows and overgrown student gardens, I often wonder how these adorable murderers are perceived by the local mice and rat population. If it’s anything like ginger puss cat Tiger in Jeremy “Aviary Attorney” Noghani’s turn-based RPGSmall Saga, they’re going to be in trouble, as these rodents come bearing switchblades and cigarette lighters to fend off their deadly foes....

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands shows off two new classes in latest gameplay trailer

Looks promising for Borderlands fans I’ve always had a soft spot for Borderlands' looting and shooting, so anything new on its fantasy successorTiny Tina’s Wonderlandshas me very curious.
