FE REVIEW

.

PC version reviewed.

Fe is an action adventure game published by EA Games and developed by Zoink for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.

GAMEPLAY
A few bugs such as AI not quite working as intended, came across another bug that seemed to be a never ending game over screen even though I hadn't even failed that forced be to go back to the menu, luckily there was a nearby checkpoint.

STORY


GRAPHICS

Strange filter that blurs the game can be annoying, it's like if you have glasses and they get blurry but you can't scrub it away. Some kind of option to turn this off would have been nice.

SOUND


VALUE FOR MONEY

OVERALL
Fe felt like a game that seemed to think it was more special than it was. Just because you have stylised graphics doesn't make you special at all and the ending that seemed to believe the player would be so absorbed by the whole thing come the end made it fall flat all the harder instead.

SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS (2018) REVIEW

A colossal recreation.

DIFFERENCES FROM ORIGINAL

Overhauled graphics look fantastic. Usually with remastered games it would be a case of thinking that it's pretty cool that it looks better but little more than that however for a game that relies on portraying so much to you through the world and atmosphere this is a massive difference and major improvement.

No more FPS problems that the original had.

A couple of small new things, such as new collectable coins, New Game+, a stats page, photo mode and Easter eggs.

OVERALL

This is probably the definitive version of one of the best games of all time. If you've ever had a PS2, PS3 or PS4 and somehow haven't played this game before then now is probably the best time ever with a remaster that must be one of the best around, just as the original game was when it first came out. For veteran players the minimalist world looks more beautiful and alluring than ever before and at a lower priced release than most games these days there's little excuse not to experience this wonderful game again.
