Scott Watson reviews Victor Vran Overkill Edition… It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Then again, there’s the flipside too that familiarity breeds contempt. Victor Vran, by Haemimont Games (of Tropico fame), straddles that ever so thin line between both splendidly. An action RPG with a storyline steeped in Grimm’s […]
Video Game Review – Seasons After Fall
Scott Watson reviews Seasons After Fall… There’s a word that springs to mind playing through Seasons After Fall, both visually and aurally, and that is beautiful. The artwork, the narration, the animation, the music. All of it. Beautiful. It’s a huge part of what draws you into the game, makes you want to invest in […]
Video Game Review – Sniper Elite 4 DLC Deathstorm Part 2: Infiltration
Scott Watson reviews Sniper Elite 4: Deathstorm Part 2: Infiltration… Hats off to Rebellion, they’ve done a damn fine job with keeping those of us in need of our Sniper Elite fix entertained. The drip feed of season pass DLC and additional free content in the way of maps, modes, weapons and skins has been pretty […]
Video Game Review – Sniper Elite 4 DLC Deathstorm Part 1: Inception
Scott Watson reviews Sniper Elite 4 DLC Deathstorm Part 1 Inception… We’ve had a good old-time playing Sniper Elite 4 here at Flickering Myth. It’s been an organic and expansive addition to the series that has built and improved on everything coming before it. You can read our original thoughts on its release here before we delve […]
Video Game Review – Yooka-Laylee
Scott Watson reviews Yooka-Laylee… Is it cool to say this is gloriously retro? Is it far enough back in gaming history, that we can class a game that has its heart, soul and roots in the superb platforming spectacles of the N64 era as retro? You know what, screw the retro, Yooka-Laylee is platforming glory […]
Video Game Review – 88 Heroes
Scott Watson reviews 88 Heroes… I reckon Dr H8 has been watching far too many 80’s action movies, either that or he’s a big fan of Dr Evil. The plot to Bitmap Bureau and Rising Star Games latest release is the kind of straight up insane plot you would expect the main bad guy of […]
Video Game Review – Sniper Elite 4
Scott Watson reviews Sniper Elite 4… The Sniper Elite series has been on the go since 2005, with an impressive 10 million plus units shifted since Rebellion first brought it to console and PC. It may have been around for the best part of 12 years, but Sniper Elite 4 is my first introduction to […]
Video Game Review – Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix
Scott Watson reviews Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix… This will be a race to remember! Racers start your engines! From there sadly, Rock ‘N Racing Grand Prix is nothing but a hard, frustrating and infuriating lesson in how not to make a racing game. OK, look, this is an indie title. A budget indie title at […]
Video Game Review – Destiny: Rise of Iron
Scott Watson reviews Destiny: Rise of Iron… I know to many that Destiny is very much a marmite game. You either love the grind or you don’t. What I don’t think can ever be argued is the quality of the gunplay the game provides through its environments, enemies and challenges. Rise of Iron may not […]
Video Game Review – RIVE
Scott Watson reviews RIVE… I can’t keep up with this game. My old gaming bones just are not attuned to the maniacally impressive, gleefully and destructively over the top shooting that RIVE thrusts upon me. I was never the best at shooters the likes of Nemesis, Salamander and R-Type in the arcades or the likes […]
