Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition Review

Horizon Zero Dawn feels like it was conceptualised by a group of kindergarten children during playtime. ‘ROAR’ shouted Lambert standing on the table, “I am a giant robot T-Rex and I am going to fire my laser cannons at you!” Horizon Zero Dawn is set in a post-apocalyptic world hunting robotic dinosaurs. It’s stupid but that is what makes it superb. I have never played anything like it, but I wish it embraced its outlandish concept and had a less serious tone.  Guerrilla Games most recent PlayStation exclusive features protagonist Aloy- a social outcast in a native American/Celtic inspired world. There is an alluring mystery on how these robot dinosaurs came to be and how they have conquered their environment. It plays like typical open world game with an emphasis on defeating these magnificent beasts.   After a few hours, the world map becomes full with an onslaught of objectives to complete. You have the typical bandit camps, where you can defeat human enemies through s...

SCARLET NEXUS Preview

An intriguing new ‘brain punk’ world with satisfying psychokinetic combat, SCARLET NEXUS is a new anime IP by Bandai Namco launching on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, PS4 and PS5. Producer Keita Iizuke has coined the term ‘brain punk’ to describe the game’s world stating he is intrigued by what would happen if society developed the human brain . Prior to the game’s launch the Japanese publisher has launched a free demo on digital store fronts.   When the demo starts you are presented with the choice of playing between the male protagonist Yuito Sumeragi or the female protagonist Kasane Randall.

Each protagonist has different party members which grant them access to different abilities to use in combat. The locations are vastly different depending on which character you choose, with Yuito fighting through neon-lit city streets and Kasane fighting through an abandoned co...

Watch Dogs Legions Review

  Watch Dogs Legions Review When the first Watch Dogs came out to a mixed critical reception but massive financial success, it was obvious it was going to get a sequel. Watch Dogs 2 fixed a lot of the problems with the original game by creating more interesting characters and scenarios. Now Ubisoft is trying the hackathon again with their newest entry Watch Dogs Legions. The newest entry is the most ambitious one yet but is it any good? Well, I have written this review for you to check it out! At the moment Watch Dogs Legions is a few months old and I think a lot of people have forgotten it. So, to sort of spice up my ‘late to the party’ review, I am going to review the game then compare it to a game I think it should have taken more inspiration from, and then outline the direction in which the series should step. That way it is a bit more fun than simply a ‘hey, read my very late review to a game that is a couple of months old now’. The big new addition to Watch Dogs Legions...
