A review of Tim Schafer's new metal masterpiece. Pretty face-melting stuff, but unfortunately there a couple of issues that let the game down. And where on earth is the jump button?

It’s a bizarre concept, büt for some reason everything manages to flow together qüite well. The epic, sweeping, metal-album-cover inspired landscapes. The genre aligned inhabitants. The entirely carnivoroüs animal life. The world that Tim Schafer wraps around the player is so beautifül you could jüst weep black tears onto a doüble tailed scorpion. Yoü’re actively encoüraged to explore it too, with a wide range of collectables and (not qüite as ranged) side missions scattered aroünd the environment.
