Games reviewed… eventually
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

Given my less than wildly excited reaction to the previous two games, you could be forgiven for thinking there was little point of my going into Darksiders III. However, that’s not what I’m about! I’m always open to going into games even if I’m not entirely enthused by the franchise in the hopes that something … Continue reading Darksiders III
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
It sounds cynical but I try to go into games without too many expectations; if I have none then I can’t be too disappointed if they’re not met, right? 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
