Octopath Traveler review – VideoGamer

“What Square Enix’s charming offering has shown me is that there may be thirty JRPGs released every year, but there are very few that bend and shape ideas the way this one does. It may have flaws, but the heart of this one is bursting with delights if you invest the time. Octopath Traveler may…

VideoGamer Podcast #272

“Google might be entering the games space with straming platform Yeti, while freelancer Adam Cook comes on to chat about his time with the mediocre racer The Crew 2, as well as his brief time with Fortnite’s new Playground mode.” Click for the full audio.

The Crew 2 review – VideoGamer

“Despite the tone, despite the irritants that will stop you giving hours to it at a time, The Crew 2 isn’t a bad game; I can’t stress that enough. Sure, it’s well made, but it’s uninspiring and, too often, just boring, eschewing the Inception-like world bending the pre-release trailers promised for simple street racing, a…

6 games that desperately need a battle royale mode – VideoGamer

“Sure, Battlefield 11 and Call of Duty 15 (I’m not including the non-main-series games) have the mode coming to their latest and greatest versions, and we’ll always have PUBG and Fortnite (and hey, maybe keep an eye on that Realm Royale: little tip there from old Uncle GamesWriterMan, there) but we want new experiences.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit review – VideoGamer

“There are some heart-wrenching moments and there are poorly executed ones, but as a palette cleanser from Chloe and Max’s story, and something to tease season 2 of Life is Strange, it does its job. I’m just not sure where Captain Spirit himself fits into a full season, and it’s possible there may even end…

Fortnite on Switch: The beginner’s guide – VideoGamer

“Nintendo Switch is a very popular platform right now. After an immense opening year, Switch owners are being treated to Mario Tennis Aces, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate later this year, and a little something called Fortnite. A surprise announcement at E3 2018, Nintendo and Epic have joined forces, bringing the even-more-popular-than-the-Switch Fortnite to the console,…

Mario Tennis Aces guide: How to beat Blooper and Boom-Boom – VideoGamer

“Nintendo and Camelot’s latest foray into the world of Tennis, Mario Tennis Aces, is pretty good, you’ll be pleased to hear. But if there’s one thing that does really bring the overall experience down a notch, it’s a difficulty spike here or there. For most of the game’s Adventure Mode (read: Story Mode), it’s plain…
