Lost Judgment – Review

‘Lost Judgment’, a sequel to 2018’s “Judgment” is by far the most ambitious and narratively unique experience I have had the pleasure of playing in 2021.

Diablo II: Resurrected – Review

June 29th, 2000, the release date of the original Diablo II on PC, yep, I was 13 years old. Little did I know the games I dabbled in back then would thrust me into something I love so much 21 years later. Although I wasn’t a PC gamer back then,

In Sound Mind – Review

The shoe that fits one person, pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. A rather fitting quote by Carl Jung for my experience with “In Sound Mind” by developer We Make Stuff. I’m not usually an avid fan of the horror genre, however, the concept

World War Z: Aftermath – Review

‘World War Z’ released in 2019 and made by Saber Interactive, came out swinging hard as it grew a great community on release. I bought this on day one and loved every moment that the game had to offer. A zombie survival game much like ‘Left 4 Dead’, it features

Life Is Strange: True Colors – Review

Developed by Deck Nine and published by Square Enix, Life Is Strange: True Colors is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you in tears of joy and sadness. True Colors is a decision and consequence-based RPG; however, it feels more like an interactive animated movie. For me it was a

Clid The Snail – Review

I have always loved all things furry, creepy, and crawly. From looking for snails and millipedes under my nan’s flowerpots back in England to when my Mum made me throw out my elephant beetle shells collection because they stunk out my room; I’ve always been fascinated by creatures big and

Tales of Arise – Review

For someone that had no idea about ‘Tales of Arise’ at the start of the year to someone that was giddy with anticipation once I played the demo, I am now a full-blown fanboy after playing the full release. Developed and published by Bandai Namco Studios, this single-player JRPG will

No More Heroes 3 (Nintendo Switch) – Review

“No More Heroes 3” by Grasshopper Studios, is the obvious third installment in the high octane hack and slack ‘No More Heroes’ franchise.

Double Fine’s classic humor, signature gameplay, and creative platforming are back in Psychonauts 2. Psychonauts 2 takes place after the events of the original game, and you once again play

Greak: Memories Of Azur – Review

One of the oldest sayings still about is “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and it has never been more prevalent than my experience with Greak: Memories of Azur. Developed by Navegante Entertainment and published by the legendary Team17, this visually alluring side scroller adventure game both kicked my

KUR – Review

It’s 1993, you’re sitting at home with a bunch of friends, and you’ve got nothing but time to load up and smash out your MS-DOS favorites like Doom and Duke Nukem. You wake up, striving to fulfill that nostalgia that you dream of. You load up steam and search and

Glitchpunk (Early Access) – Preview

Before the behemoth we’ve come to know and love as Grand Theft Auto V took over the gaming world with its arguably unmatchable open-world quality, it too had to start from humble beginnings: top-down view gameplay. A seemingly lost form of gameplay in today’s modern-day storm of gaming consoles and

Seed Of Life – Review

One of the first action-adventure puzzle games I ever played was Tomb Raider, way back in the later days of Windows 95. I can’t really say that I was ever any good at it, but I stuck with it as best I could and eventually, got past the first area.
