Assassin's Creed Origins review | Eurogamer.net

 Posted on October 15, 2022  |  15 minutes  |  3171 words  |  Trudie Dory

Assassin's Creed returns and its vast and evocative Egypt inspires wonder - even if much in the game remains familiar. We know quite a lot about what the Ancient Egyptians made of death. Their opinions regarding life, however, often seem more elusive. This could have posed something of a problem for Assassin's Creed: although my first thought of this series is always of death dropping down from on high as darkness suddenly swirls and engulfs, my second, more considered memory, is generally one of life - mad, rickety, often hilarious life.

Far: Changing Tides review - a tense and mournfully beautiful sequel

 Posted on October 15, 2022  |  7 minutes  |  1461 words  |  Fernande Dalal

Far: Changing Tides' story is a little longer and its puzzles more refined than its predecessor, while its world is as beautiful as ever. In an empty world like that of Far: Changing Tides, it's hard not to become overly attached to the stupidest things. A toy carousel. A potted plant. A wooden duck. A delightfully regal statue of a deer. Far: Changing Tides review Publisher: Frontier Developer: Okomotive Platform: Played on PS5 Availability: Out 1st March on PS4, PS5, Xbox (Game Pass), Switch and PC. [Read More]

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded Review | Eurogamer.net

 Posted on October 15, 2022  |  6 minutes  |  1212 words  |  Trudie Dory

James Bond isn't a man afraid to reinvent himself. Changing his face as often as Dr. Who, he's tried desperately to stay current despite his chauvinistic ways and predictable clichés. He'd nearly lost his appeal during a six-year hiatus in the early nineties before Pierce Brosnan took the mantle as England's greatest super-spy in GoldenEye. While the movie was decent enough, it had a greater impact on gaming when the N64 shooter based on the film became a cult phenomenon upon release in 1997. [Read More]

Nintendo has shown its fan-favourite Mii characters back in Nintendo Switch Sports. When the game was announced back in February, many fans were perturbed by the new-look in-game characters, compared to the Miis used in Wii Sports. But Miis will be playable, on top of a load of customisation options for the new characters to tweak their face, hair, and outfits. The trailer shows off plenty of new gameplay of the six included games: newcomers volleyball, badminton, and soccer, plus the returning chambara, tennis, and bowling. [Read More]

 Posted on October 15, 2022  |  6 minutes  |  1266 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

After signing up to write this retrospective, it dawned on me that I might not have time to replay Loom. I looked at my schedule and saw that I'd left myself a single evening in which to struggle through a 90s LucasArts adventure. You know, those games notorious for their fiendishly difficult puzzles and dozens of red herrings. I still have nightmares about that forest in Grim Fandango. But it's been so long since I last played Loom I'd forgotten that Loom was designed to be completed. [Read More]

Someday You'll Return review - a fascinating but flawed brand of horror

 Posted on October 15, 2022  |  8 minutes  |  1620 words  |  Mittie Cheatwood

There's plenty to admire in this smart and adventurous horror, though you'll have to endure some missteps to get there. I can't remember the last time a game forced me to inhabit someone I loathe quite as much as Someday You'll Return's insufferable protagonist, Daniel. I hate his smug, condescending voice and his icy contempt for others. I hate his agitated sighs and engorged ego, and how he prissily sweeps up the discarded sweet wrappers he finds littering the forest. [Read More]
