Games reviewed… eventually
I was in two minds as to whether I would even try Zelda II. I’ve been playing back through the Zelda franchise because it’s one I know I like, with plenty of games I think are wonderful and a set of games I had (and still have) yet to play. The thought of getting to … Continue reading Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
It was with a bittersweet smile on my face that I came to the end of The Fate of Atlantis, the final piece of long-form DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’d been a long time coming; I started playing Odyssey back in mid 2020 and while I took a little break in playing between now … Continue reading The Fate of Atlantis
The Assassin’s Creed franchise has a pretty fair track record when it comes to downloadable content, I feel. Over the years we’ve seen Ubisoft use additional paid content as a vehicle to produce some impressive releases, on par with expansions of the sort that old PC games used to enjoy. They haven’t all been amazing, … Continue reading Legacy of the First Blade
I’ve been waiting for this game for so long. The level of excitement I had going into Kingdom Hearts III was almost scary; Kingdom Hearts II is my favourite game ever, and the series has been consistently a set of games I return to, so to say it had a lot to live up to … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts III
Ahh, finally! It’s been a long while but with this game I’ve arrived at a Kingdom Hearts game that I’ve not played before. Kingdom Hearts III really isn’t far off now. We’re in the home stretch. Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth By Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage- (PS4 [reviewed], Xbox One) Released Jan 2017 | Developed / … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is something the series has needed for so, so long. A sequel! An actual, honest-to-goodness sequel designed specifically to lead into Kingdom Hearts III! The madmen at Square-Enix finally did it! Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (3DS, PS4 [reviewed], Xbox One) Released Mar 2012 | Developed / Published: Square Enix … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
Even for fans of the franchise, Kingdom Hearts Coded may not be a game you are familiar with. It’s probably because it saw quite a niche release, as a Japan-only episodic mobile phone game. Released 2 to 3 years after coded, this version of the game is, like re:Chain of Memories, a full remake. This … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts re:Coded
Given my less than wildly excited reaction to the previous two games, you could be forgiven for thinking there was little point of my going into Darksiders III. However, that’s not what I’m about! I’m always open to going into games even if I’m not entirely enthused by the franchise in the hopes that something … Continue reading Darksiders III
Darksiders is a series which seems to have a real cult following. The first game is certainly one which seems to have some devoted fans. Personally I found it to be a disappointingly mediocre experience which, while it had its moments, failed to shine at well, anything, resulting in a perfectly adequate game. I’m not … Continue reading Darksiders II
Oh I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is just around the corner as of time of writing, and though I know I’m not terribly likely to play it on release - such a thing is the antithesis of the patient gamer ethos after all - it … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
