obsidian entertainment/Paradox Interactive/PC/PC Review/Reviews/RPG/Tyranny

Review by Nick H. I have a soft spot for classic computer RPGs, and Tyranny checks a number of the boxes I would normally look for. However, beyond the familiar, nostalgic gameplay there is an interesting if twisted tale that challenges the player to examine good versus evil in a…

Review by Matt S. The image of a massive explosion coming down from the skies, bringing complete devastation with it and great social and personal change in the aftermath is a story that you’ll find retold over and over again in Japan. It’s a country already prone to frequent disasters,…

Review by Matt S. Ubisoft doesn’t have a new Assassin’s Creed game for this holiday season; the first time in a while. Rather than allow Christmas to go without anything from the series, however, the publisher has instead bundled up a number of the older games in the franchise –…

Review by Nick H. If you are simply looking for an action-packed shooter that works far better with friends than alone, then Killing Floor 2 is not a bad option. If, however, you’re on the hunt for a game with a narrative, or indeed any degree of substance, then this…
