Games reviewed… eventually
I knew I’d end up playing Death’s Door the first time I saw it streamed by my friends. A tiny crow, running around fighting enemies, in a pretty fantasy world is a fairly easy sell, I’d say, and that only cemented further in my head when I saw the artwork for it and fell in … Continue reading Death’s Door
Given the huge, vast realms of potential content to adapt in LEGO form, it seems odd (if not downright cynical) that Traveller’s Tales seem to circle around the same 3 franchises. I guess it makes sense to produce a ton of games based around superhero brands like Marvel and DC; after all, they have endless … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

It’s hard not to be; the sheer crushing number of films released since 2008’s Iron Man means that at least some of them have to hit, as long as you don’t mind wading … Continue reading Marvel’s Avengers
If my previous reviews of Knights of the Old Republic and Jedi Academy have told you anything, it’s that I love a good Star Wars game. However, the thing that those games have in common is that they’re part of the old Star Wars canon known as the Expanded Universe. That’s the Star Wars I … Continue reading Jedi: Fallen Order
