Unbound: Worlds Apart (Switch) Review

Puzzle Platformers are always a bit of a mixed bag. Some of them lean a little too heavily into precision platforming, while others lean too far into obtuse puzzles. It is rare for a Puzzle-Platformer to achieve an engaging balance of both,…

Dying Light (PS4) – Review

Dying Light is a 2015 game that would admirably be called a “cult classic.” Which is to say it is a modern big-budget horror game that sold well but not the millions upon millions that GTA V did for those three years of its release.…

Cris Tales (Switch) Review

I have been following Cris Tales since its announcement at E3 2019. Developed by Colombian studio Dreams Uncorporated, Cris Tales was (and still is) immediately eye-catching. Two years later, having spent quite a lot of time with Cris Tales, I can say…

Space Jam: A New Legacy Review

It’s fairly normal in this day and age for movies, television shows, and even video games to get a reboot, remake, seriously-delayed new iteration, and what have you to capitalize on a nostalgic property that hasn’t been acted upon in years or…

Doctor Who “Asylum of the Daleks” – Review

Ya’ know, I think this Jenna-Louise Coleman lass might just be a bit evil somewhere deep down. Then again, I guess that’s why Moffat introduced her to the Doctor Who audience now, as we went into the belly of the metaphorical evil beast.…

Last Stop (PC) – Review

“Wow, look at you, Jamie Oliver” and “Doesn’t your willy get pinched?” or something like that. I enjoy those lines. This is one of those cases where I am going to, of sorts, berate the entertainment industry for embracing American references almost…

The Wild At Heart (PC) Review

I can’t recall how many times I’ve been suckered into a piece of media purely based on the artwork on the box/display. It’s how I got into an entire genre of music, and experienced such titles as TellTale’s The Walking Dead and Sayonara Wild Hearts.…

The Silver Case 2425 (Switch) Review

Suda51, the personality behind the development studio Grasshopper Manufacture, made his game writing debut with The Silver Case in 1999 in Japan. Now, Goichi Suda (Suda51) is known for franchises such as No More Heroes and the Killer7 games. The Silver Case…

Mini Motorways (PC) – Review

Often, I’ll have days where I don’t sleep well. On those days I’ll nap a lot, generally not enjoy everything around me, and the last thing I want to do after a long day with very little sleep and after I’ve had…

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (XBO) – Review

It was actually Alexx who first brought Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights to my attention ahead of his review, saying he was enjoying it. It was odd, as I tend to be the one pledging my faith in Miyazaki-san and begging for more. January…
