So, this game gets a lot of love from the critics and it's good. Considering it's age it has tight 3D platforming mechanics and plenty of different abilities for you to learn. It all takes place in this quirky world with quirky people and has something of the Tim Burton claymation about it, and it's style means it has aged beautifully. The premise is fun, the creativity is immense and the humour is on point most of the time. However, there are two times when I had to pause the story and go collecting items (magic arrowheads and psychic cards) in order to progress. The first time was at the six hour mark, and I think this is why the average player time is just over six hours...however, don't be super put off, with the help of a magic dousing rod you can buy from the main cabin, both of these detours into collectathon only lasted around ten minutes but still that isn't perfect and feels a bit grindy. I suppose for the 11 hours I've played, 20 minutes of grind isn't a bad trade-off but that 20 minutes wasn't fun. Also, there's a level where you have to find a milkman, and goddamn I'm glad the internet exists to show me how to progress, or I would've been stuck on the 'puzzles' in this level. Do I reccomend it? Hell yeah. A classic for sure with memorable moments and laugh-out-loud characters. Is it perfect? Not quite.
I haven't played them all, but, of the ones I have played this is the best of the worms outings. With the ability to craft weapons (as long as you've collected the right equipment from crates), and with tanks and mechs and turret guns to keep things spicy, it's a wonderful and amusing little game. While it's best as a multiplayer, there's enough content here for a fun single player experience. If you catch this on sale, and you fancy some good old classic 2D worms mayhem with a lick of 21st century paint, grab this title. You won't be dissapointed.
Okay, so the game engine hasn't changed since 'The Walking Dead' way-back-when, and certain decisions are meaningless, but it's still an interactive comic book. You get to decide how relationships develop and change the 'flavour' of the story, even if, ultimately, the story stays the same. I liken it to cooking a curry. You can add more spice, more veggies, more cream or ghee to taste, but in the end, you always have a curry. Personally, when I'm in the mood, these telltale games scratch a casual interative-movie itch that others can't reach.
A lovely little arcade game. Great sound, tight gameplay and a decent challenge. One of those games it's fun to dive into every now and then for a quick fix of alien-murdering fun.
As classic as the cartoons it is inspired by, Cuphead sees you face off against giant root vegetables, speakeasy frogs and eventually the devil himself. Tight platforming and boss fights galore, a memorable score and beautiful graphics make this a must own for anyone into classic videogames with a modern twist. I've 95% the game and still jump in every now and then for a short fix of intense gameplay.
