GAMES CENTRAL

JAMIE HARRIS reviews new releases Bleeding Edge, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, Moons Of Madness and Charrua Soccer.

15-hour campaign, using the voices of the original Japanese cast to delight any fan. Anyone familiar with the Omega Force musou genre won’t be disappointed, as you plough through hundreds of enemies single-handed, though they don’t offer much resistance. Game play moves fast, with combat pretty simple - if sometimes a bit repetitive. Some elements are also reused from the previous games. While Pirate Warriors 4 serves its purpose, it can only really be fully enjoyed by those completely aware of the story arc.

SKIP TO THE END: A wellcondensed performance for devoted fans of the series but not one for anyone else.

MOONS OF MADNESS Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC

Genre: Horror

Price: £24.99

SKIP TO THE END: Cliche jumpy moments make for unstable psychological horror, missing key communication drivers needed to build any attachment to its main character.

CHARRUA SOCCER Platform: iOS

Genre: Sport

Price: £4.99 per month on Apple Arcade

★★★★

If you’re in the ‘don’t like football’ camp (like me), you might still be pleasantly surprised by Charrua Soccer. Its less serious take on the sport makes it less intimidating than more famed titles out there. Why? Put simply, the friendly and fun animations, and super easyto-use controls make it accessible to all, even if football isn’t usually your thing. Its lack of realism is what makes it work so well. Charrua Soccer is confident with its place and doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You can play alone against the app, or against a friend on a second device.

SKIP TO THE END: Football is made less intimating for those not fully into it with its retro visuals and easy controls.
