Redfall: Where is the Hype?
It seems we’ve been really quiet about the upcoming Redfall here at GamesReviews and we’re not alone. It doesn’t seem like it’s getting the hype of other big games. There’s a lot of reasons that might be. Starfield was the next big Bethesda release, until it wasn’t. And now Redfall seems to be being compared to that, in terms of its “place” within the Xbox release schedule. That’s a lot of pressure to put onto a game that is in…
Fable Reaches a New Milestone
Microsoft are having a busy year so far, but the ghost of all those long-announced but distant games still massively linger. Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and, yes, Fable. Well, good news for those who are waiting for information on the latter. Fable has hit its ‘flighting’ phase. Considering rumours not that long ago that there was barely any game, the fact that tests are going ahead is good news. A LinkedIn update revealed the news, as shared by…
Gollum’s Elvish DLC is Pretty Cool
The discussion on DLC is always a bit biased, and it’s been the same for the announcement of Elvish-language DLC for the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. I think it’s pretty cool. Elves in the game speak a bit of their own language, Sindarin. Well, purchasing this DLC adds more of it to the game, which is due at the end of May. It’s optional, included in the special edition and beats a random costume or digital art…
Disney Speedstorm the new IT Kart Racer on Switch?
Over the past half week or so, I’ve been taking a deep dive into Disney Speedstorm, the soon-to-be free-to-play Disney kart racing game from Gameloft. Right now, as an early access title, the only way to get into the experience is to purchase one of the three founders bundles. Gameloft hooked me up with a copy of the game last week, and after almost a dozen hours across 7 tracks, I think it’s fair to say we might have a…
Prominence Poker: The Importance of Vibe
There are a million poker games on the internet. What makes one stand out over the other? It’s all about vibe. Let’s take a look at Prominence Poker. It’s a poker game. You play poker. You do poker-related things. And yet by giving it an adult look, and letting you create your own characters, it makes it stand out in a market of green table tops and little else. It has an edge that has obviously worked for its fans…
I’ve Stopped Playing Overwatch 2
Perhaps it was inevitable. Maybe it’s down to personal choice. Whatever the reason, the result is the same. I have stopped playing Overwatch 2. And there’s not much that could bring me back. It’s not unusual to burn out on a game, especially one you’ve played for hundreds of hours. And across the two iterations of this franchise, I have put in a lot of time. And it’s still, fundamentally, a fantastic experience. Once a game starts, and it starts…

April Fools: Terrible Til They’re Sonic
April Fools is almost entirely terrible. That is until the geniuses in Sonic’s marketing department get involved. Every year it’s the same old thing. Brand A delivers a terrible take on one of their products. We all laugh and clap like the audience at the filming of an episode of Big Bang Theory and then we forget it ever existed. Ir’s “Frankie and Bennies by drone” and “It’s Babybel but square”. It’s not a joke – there’s no real twist…
