Games reviewed… eventually
Although I’ve not currently reviewed any other Fallout games, Bethesda’s long-running sci-fi series is one which fascinates me. These days it occupies a kind of double-bill space alongside The Elder Scrolls in the pantheon of major RPGs; it’s basically the post-apocalyptic, gun-toting equivalent, after all, right down to the everlong release schedule and the myriad … Continue reading Fallout 4
If you know me, you’ll know there’s five words you can say that will make me the happiest person in the world. Just five little words, ideally spoken in a thick, Nordic drawl, greeting me as I open weary eyes after a fitful sleep. Hey, you. You’re finally awake. Oh, Skyrim. It may be a … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I’ve put off writing this review for quite a while simply because I’ve been wracking my mind on how to approach it. The Elder Scrolls games are so vast and far-reaching that just trying to list off mechanics and evaluating them seems almost tawdry, especially for a game that is as venerable as Oblivion. Still, … Continue reading The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
One of the first sights you come across in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a slaughtered wolfhound on a makeshift altar and a diary detailing a former Bigmore witch despairing at the loss of her magic. It’s weirdly poignant, and along with the gritty and grey hues of the opening of it paints a … Continue reading Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
It’s finally time to take a look at the sequel to one of my all-time favourite games, Dishonored! Whereas the first game took me entirely by surprise with how brilliant it was, I was obviously more prepared for the quality on display in Dishonored 2. It had a hell of a legacy to live up … Continue reading Dishonored 2
“You keep surprising me, Daud. Are you hoping it will change the way things will work out? Maybe; maybe not. The song’s almost over. And when the music stops, we all fall down.” The Brigmore Witches (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One [reviewed]) Base game: Dishonored Released Aug 2013 | Developed: Arkane | Published: … Continue reading The Brigmore Witches
Did you like Dishonored? Wish there were a few more missions? Wish Corvo had bothered to speak at all instead of remaining creepily silent as he murdered (or choked) his way through legions of guards, thugs, dogs and weepers? Well, luckily The Knife of Dunwall, the first of two story DLCs for Dishonored, has you … Continue reading The Knife of Dunwall
You know when you have those games that just grip you and refuse to let you go? The ones where you play and play and play and suddenly it’s 3 in the morning and you’re blearily trying to focus on the screen because you’re this close to beating it, the ones where you let the … Continue reading Dishonored
The Nazis are really bad. There you go, that’s the central premise of the Wolfenstein series of video games. It’s not revolutionary as far as ideas go, but at least it’s simple and makes sense. The Nazis are bad and you have to shoot the crap out of them. Sure, there’s some extra stuff in … Continue reading Wolfenstein: The New Order
