Chris White's Reviews
Starfield is filled with possibilities for who you can become and what you can do, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in gaming.
Fae Farm is a little rough around the edges, but there's so much to do with satisfying pacing and tons of loveable characters to meet.
Jumplight Odyssey throws a lot at you, but the more you play and work things out for yourself, the better the game becomes. Hopefully the aid available as far as direction and tip pop-ups get added through the Early Access phase, as it can be daunting and off-putting. It’s a stunning game to look at, and the level of design on each deck is incredible. Managing your crew’s emotional state and work rate does get easier, and the constant threat of the Zutopans gives you more than enough motivation to harvest materials and keep your ship afloat on the mission to reach the Forever Star.
Dimension Shellshock features a fantastic new mode and two great characters to make TMNT: Shredder's Revenge an even better game.
Madden NFL 24 feels great to play, especially with FieldSENSE finding its feet, but some of the modes need more to make it stand out.

Lifeless Moon isn't too long, but there's a great story at its heart and some impressive set pieces that leave you questioning everything.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a fast and responsive fighter, with some roguelike mechanics that add some enjoyment.
PixelJunk Scrappers Deluxe is a decent enough game on your own, but playing with others makes the most out of the various mechanics.
The Banished Vault is an intricately designed strategy with plenty of layers, however, there's a truly satisfying gameplay loop at its core.
Doom & Destiny Worlds is a fun little title that has a charming art style, although grinding can become frustrating the more you play.
