Horizon Forbidden West: A Golden Experience – PS5 Review
Hunting giant robot dinosaurs, and ripping off their components to use as weapons would have been enough for me. Horizon Zero Dawn could have stopped there and I think it would have been a decent enough game. Thankfully, developer Guerrilla Games chose to introduce us to Aloy and a world overrun with the consequences of…

Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space – PC Review
Point and click adventure games have a very special place in my heart. When my family got a Gateway 2000 PC back in the early 90s, one of the first computer games I played was Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers. Ever since then, point and clicks have been a consistent part…

Shadow Warrior 3: Explosive Action Ruined By Little Content – PC Review
The Shadow Warrior series has always been known for its fast-paced combat, ridiculous humour and stunning visuals. It has gone on to garner critical acclaim since the 2016 reboot due to its combination of platforming and incredibly satisfying katana slicing. Fortunately, protagonist Lo Wang is back again for the threequel, Shadow Warrior 3. This time…

Martha Is Dead: Needlessly Disturbing and Incredibly Dull – PS5 Review
Martha Is Dead has garnered quite a lot of interest after its initial trailer dropped. It promised horror fans – which of course includes myself – an intriguing and incredibly horrific experience with its creepy atmosphere, war-torn setting and disturbing imagery. Sadly, Martha Is Dead has failed to live up to the hype due to…

Ghost On The Shore: Spirited & Hauntingly Mysterious – PC Review
I’m not the biggest fan of walking simulators. Not because I don’t enjoy them, in fact, I think you can tell some of the most captivating stories through the linear medium. Rather, I don’t like walking simulators because they never seem to evolve. Most titles in the genre tend to contain the same few tropes,…

The Cuphead Show: An Enjoyable Cartoon Adaption – Season One Review
In 2017, Cuphead, by Studio MDHR, took the world by storm, with its surrealist art style and inspiration from Disney. After almost 80,000 reviews, the classic run-and-gun game is currently sitting on Steam with a 96% positive rating (Overwhelmingly Positive). Now, they have transitioned their animation into a full-blown cartoon. The Cuphead Show aired on…

Pokemon Legends: Arceus: A Step in The Right Direction – Switch Review
Growing up as a millennial, Pokemon has been front and centre throughout my life. I grew up watching Pokemon in the mornings before school, collecting Pokemon cards with my friends, and clocking thousands of hours on the traditional games on Game Boy. However, the last few games in the series have been lacklustre, and it…

Edge Of Eternity: A Genre-Defining Triumph – Xbox Series S Review
I bought Edge of Eternity during its Early Access phase a few years ago. Unfortunately, at the time, my PC wasn’t strong enough to run it, and so it remained in my library as a means to get updates about its development. Over the years, Edge of Eternity expanded in ways I never had expected,…

Kapia: A Love Letter of Missed Opportunities – PC Review
Games in the point-and-click genre are known to be pretty experimental. Titles in the genre like Machinarium and the Monkey Island series are able to push the boundaries of creativity in terms of narrative and have wowed fans of the genre for decades. KAPIA, by husband and wife team 2FOR2, pushes a lot of ideas.…

Grapple Dog: Petting Dogs and Platforming Perfection – PC Review
Every year, it feels like there is one indie platformer to stand among the rest; a clear winner. Where game feel, momentum, tight controls, and a strong art style come together to strike at the core of what makes a great platformer. It may be early to declare it, but Grapple Dog might be that platformer for…

Zorya: The Celestial Sisters: A Near Perfect Co-Op Game – PC Review
During a hands-off preview event for Zorya: The Celestial Sisters, I claimed that it would be the next best co-operative experience since It Takes Two and Portal. Baring in mind that I only watched a few levels from the developer’s perspective, this was nevertheless a bold claim. However, having now played the game for myself,…

Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker: A Stunning Culmination – PC Review
It’s easy to look at Final Fantasy 14 and its meteoric rise to MMO supremacy as just a result of the downfall of World Of Warcraft. And at surface level, it can definitely be seen that way. However, after putting many hours into it, I can say without a doubt it is one of the…
