Review by Shaan J. I’m surprised that Wolfenstein: The New Order ever saw the light of day. Not only is it an entry in a fairly low-key series (let’s be honest, the Wolfenstein franchise has lost much of its importance over the last few years), but it’s a narrative-focused single-player-only…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s fun to be critical of Candy Crush Saga. After all, it’s the most casual of casual games, it has a sharply effective monetisation system, and the publisher of the game, King, isn’t the most popular in the world right now. But Candy Crush Saga is…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Yoko Taro, the mind behind the Drakengard series (and, of course, Nier, which is all but a Drakengard game), is one of the industry’s true mavericks.
