Temtem review: a Pokemon-like that listens to what fans want

A new champion Temtems inspiration has always been clear. Its still the best Pokemon game in years. Temtems creature catching will feel immediately familiar to anyone whos even dabbled in Pokemon over the years. You play as a child who leaves their home to go on a grand adventure through the Airborne Archipelago. Been there, done that. The story mostly treads old ground, so don’t expect much from the plot....

Because that’s how I feel aboutPhoenix Pointafter the last few months of playing it on and off. There’s a lot to like aboutits final form. There’s also a lot to… I don’t quite want to sayhate, but I’m also not quite sure why. It’s one of the most evenly mixed bags I’ve ever rummaged around in. When I (very quickly) got sick of theXCOMgames, I uninstalled them. When I got sick of Phoenix Point, I started a new game....

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory now has new official dedicated servers

That’s free as infree, not free-to-play, too. If you never played it, you missed out. It is, I think, Splash Damage’s best game? Probably?Gears Tacticsis great too, though.

Steelrising review: this steampunk Soulslike take on the French Revolution doesn't execute on its cool premise

The banks of the Seine! Ooh, is that Notre Dame on the skyline? This being during a swiftly-quashed revolution, however, means that Paris is in a state of fun ruin. The other barriers to your progress are, of course, all the bad robots....

The joy of Rollerdrome’s practical weapons

I think its because of their more literal significance in the game. Personally, I couldnt wait to be rid of the dual pistols. A well timed shot in reflex mode, and boom! All of a sudden I had become the Doom Slayer. While its all well and good having favourites, Rollerdrome isnt exactly co-operative. Besides, I knew that if things did get too hot… ch-chickBOOM! All of these impossibilities become possible once youre initiated....
