Games reviewed… eventually
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-
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

The madmen at Square-Enix finally did it!

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
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
I have very vague memories of the original MediEvil. It occupies the same space as games like Terracon and Hogs of War, a slightly-obscure cult classic that I played but never truly invested my time into. I’d always meant to go back and give MediEvil a proper go but I’d never really gotten around to … Continue reading MediEvil (2019)

I feel like that’s a reasonably healthy way to approach games, especially because I, like many people, can and indeed want to get super invested in … Continue reading Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Like every modern AAA release it seems Arkham Knight had no choice but to release alongside a season pass containing a stack of additional content. As our final foray into Rocksteady’s Arkham-verse, let’s take a look into the various pieces of extra story content, collectively titled the Arkham Episodes.

And so finally we’re here. As Scarecrow promises in his broadcasts over Gotham, this is the end of the Batman. Batman: Arkham Knight (PC, PS4 [reviewed], Xbox One) Released Jun 2015 | Developed: Rocksteady | Published: Warner Bros. 9 months after the death of the Joker, Gotham has never been safer. Most of the city’s … Continue reading Batman: Arkham Knight
I’ve mentioned Final Fantasy X before on this blog. Back in my very first review, I queried whether the then-latest title in the series, XV, could live up to its bittersweet journey. That journey is one I’ve held in very high regard; my first Final Fantasy, X has stuck with me over the years and … Continue reading Final Fantasy X
