I’m not going to sugar-coat it, West of Loathing is my single-player game of the year.
I have never played any of Asymmetric Publications’ previous games but I will absolutely be front of the queue for their next release.
West of Loathing is a joyous, hilarious and occasionally touching gem of a game that conjured up feelings that I haven’t had whilst playing a game since The Secret of Monkey Island.
Sensible Soccer has a long and illustrious history and sits in the hearts of 90's gamers like no other football video game from that period ever did. Lots of games tried and failed to replicate the perfect blend of fun and depth that was baked into Sensible Soccer's DNA. In 2017 Jon Hare and co. are back with a next generation of the Sensible Soccer lineage that is looking to reinvoke memories of those heated and frantic 2 player matches that you had with your brothers, mates and family. Sociable Soccer is everybody's favourite second team right now and we're all rooting for the legendary midfield maestro as he comes back for one last go at lifting the cup. Can Sociable recreate the glory days of the golden generation or will it fade like Kick Off Revival did? Let's Kick Off with a Rabona Kick and find out, shall we?
