For its sixth major outing, Ubisoft’s Far Cry will be placing player agency at the heart of the experience, emphasising a feeling of freedom to explore its largest open world to date and license to experiment applied to all weapons and vehicles.

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 28, 2021 - 4 years ago

Miitopia still retains its charm as it hops from 3DS to Switch, as well as a decent upgrade in the visual department. It's no 100-hour epic, but it's a cute and quirky little RPG that makes for an adorable distraction when you need to let your brain rest for a bit.

Mario is dead, behold the horror of Tokyo Olympic Games Sonic the Hedgehog

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 28, 2021 - 4 years ago

The Olympics were off to a rotten non-start last year thanks to…you know. What's happening this year in the grandest sporting event of them all? Honestly I have no idea, but what I do know is that the digital equivalent of the Tokyo Olympic games just took a turn towards nightmare fuel.

Knockout City is a masterpiece of mental strategy and balls to the wall energy

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 27, 2021 - 4 years ago

Knockout City by Velan Studios is one of the most mentally-taxing games I've experienced in a while, frantic action that builds on the idea of outwitting your opponent by altering how you throw your ball, curving its path, and taking advantage of a split-second lapse in your opponent's concentration to bonk their face in.
