Games reviewed… eventually
This particular review feels a bit odd to write. I’ve already written extensively about the Mass Effect games; all four of them remain amongst my favourite games of all time, and each one totally scratches the sci-fi itch that I have nagging at me all day. I wonder, then, what can I really add to … Continue reading Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
Sometimes you can get a general sense of what a game might be like from its title, or the first few images you see of it. Other times, well, you get Donut County. I really didn’t know, and nor do I think I could have guessed, what Donut County was about. Donut County (Android, iOS, … Continue reading Donut County
There’s nothing quite like flight in video games. All too often it can feel wrong in the execution, clunky, or awkward. But when being able to simply leap up and fly is one of the core tenets of your game, you’d better hope you get it right. AER: Memories of Old (PC, PS4 [reviewed], Switch, … Continue reading AER: Memories of Old
I don’t know how accurate this is, but I feel like Far Cry 3 is the game which really put the series on the map. I have played bits of both the first and second games, and I can see why they’d be popular but it’s my recollection that the third game is the entry … Continue reading Far Cry 3
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. It … Continue reading Superhot
Sometimes curiosity gets the better of me. Like a vast chunk of the world, I’m a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 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
Between being a console kid and never having anything approaching good laptops or PCs, Thief is one of those old-school PC franchises I’ve never had the fortune to play. I’ve certainly come across it on my jaunts across the web however; it seems to be a pretty well-loved game. The reviews for this 2014 reboot … Continue reading Thief (2014)
That I keep playing the Darksiders games is a real puzzle to me. It’s not that I especially dislike any of them but as I’ve said repeatedly over the course of reviewing the series, it’s a franchise with a reasonable level of popularity which I’ve never really gotten on board with. Despite that, I find … Continue reading Darksiders Genesis
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
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
