I love that we’re living in a time where The Falconeer can be an Xbox Series X/S launch title. Here is a game made by one person – one! – standing alongside blockbusters like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, and not looking out of place. The Falconeer review Developer: Tomas Sala Publisher: Wired Productions Platform: Played on …
Of all the musou spin-offs – Persona! Gundam! Fire Emblem! Was there a Birdo one or was that just another of my mundane dreams? – the most warmly received was surely 2014’s Hyrule Warriors, a fulsome blend of Omega Force’s overblown hack and slash adorned with all the baubles and trinkets of the Zelda universe. …
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the latest in Activision’s annual first-person shooter series, is a solid effort.
