Games reviewed… eventually
Superhot is another one of those games that I’ve had sitting on my PS4 for ages. It’s a game I’ve been aware of since it was released due to the high praise it got from some of my favourite reviewers at the time, but until now I’d just never gotten around to trying it.

The original Deus Ex holds a special place in the hearts of many old-school RPG fans - widely regarded as a classic, it was set in a near-future cyberpunk dystopia and saw JC Denton, an augmented agent of a UN Anti-Terrorist coalition, investigate huge interconnected conspiracies that threatened the entire stability of the world - … Continue reading Deus Ex: Human Revolution

But I’m also a proper sucker for some deals so when Titanfall … Continue reading Titanfall 2
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
