Critique

With plenty of old-school charm, fantastic visuals and robust, fast-paced combat, Trials of Mana is a fantastic remake of an underappreciated ’90s classic.

It’s suffering from a lack of players at the moment, but this underwater-set release has all the makings of a creative and fun take on the arena shooter genre.

With a novel concept and brilliantly thought out execution, Signs of the Sojourner has all the makings of gaming’s next indie darling.

SoundSelf is a wild, wild ride through meditation and psychedelia — one that you’ll either love, crave and want to experience again and again, or one that will make you feel awkward and self-conscious. Just don’t operate heavy machinery after you experience it!

Obey Me isn’t the worst game, nor is it a terrible one, but it’s a brawler without too much weight behind it and there’s better experiences out there at the AU$30 price point.

For such a budget-friendly price, XCOM: Chimera Squad features plenty of innovations that one could see fitting into future XCOM instalments.

Galaxy Warfighter has its roots in those legendary spacefaring shoot-’em-ups of the ‘80s, and it almost pulls it off. Unfortunately, repetitive audio-visual and level design sees it fail to maintain the momentum it builds in its first few levels.
