Assassins Creed Unity Review

Unity paints a beautiful (if maudlin and a little bit shallow) picture. Revolutionary France. Disgruntled peasants choke both narrow streets and sprawling plazas with burning effigies and rousing chants. Scenery ranges from gorgeous, plush architecture to the dirty, dark depths…

In Space We Brawl Review

It’s really hard criticising indie games sometimes. vtackle. It feels a bit personal, and whilst I like giving shit games the finger as much as the next bitter critic, I don’t want to run my mouth off at a bunch…

SteelSeries Sims 4 Headset Review

DESIGN The Sims 4 headset is a joy to use in almost every way. Well-built, lightweight – even after hours of use it’s still just as comfortable. It has a polished, muted white and grey look, and would be an…

SteelSeries Sims 4 Mouse & Mouse Mat

The Sims has always been eaten up by hordes of long-time fans, so it makes sense that it should be accompanied by some dedicated peripherals. So are the Sims 4 branded peripherals up to task, or are they just a…

Endless Legend Review

If Endless Legend was a woman, I’d be cowering at the other side of the bar fighting off a mild anxiety attack, shooting it “come hither” glances that probably look more like “get in the back of my dirty white…

Natural Doctrine Review

I tread carefully around titles that pride themselves on sadism. There’s a thin line between challenging and difficulty levels which just exist as a “fuck you” to anyone who bothers playing them. There’s challenging, and then there’s just stupid. On…

Alien Isolation Review

Several hours in, I’m still not quite sure what to make of Isolation. The thick, cloying tension that runs slowly down my spine like a string of drool is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. For the first hour or so…
