A Space for the Unbound review
A Space for the Unbound is a beautiful indie game, which deals with raw emotion among a small group of teenagers in 90s Indonesia. Sometimes this is hard hitting, sometimes funny and awkward at the same time, A Space for the Unbound will draw on your heart strings, while entertaining you at the same time.…

Fortnite Chapter 4 review
Fortnite Chapter 4 has been out for some time, but being a casual Fortnite player I’ve only just got around to the latest update, which is Chapter 4. There is plenty to dive into and today I’m going to round up all the new features to check out in Fortnite. To kick things off we…

Need for Speed Unbound review
Need for Speed Unbound released towards the end of 2022, almost shadow dropped with very little marketing, but this racer from Criterion and EA is a whole load of fun, and a worthy contender to the current king of racers, Forza Horizon 5. The last Need for Speed game, Heat, released in 2019 received a…

Hitman 3 review
If you’re in the know with Hitman, then you know it’s one of the best series out there. Hitman 3 was a game I missed in 2021, however given it’s the new year and it’s a relatively slow time for video game releases at the moment, I thought it high-time to get back to the…

Case of the Golden Idol review
Case of the Golden Idol is a detective game, similar to Return of the Obra Djinn, although Case of the Golden Idol arguably has better writing and a whole lot of humour. As soon as you start up Case of the Golden Idol, you witness a murder. There is little explanation as to what you…

Return to Monkey Island review
Return to Monkey Island is a return for fans and developers alike. Monkey Island 2, released all the way back in 1991, ended in a confusing manner, which immediate sequels never resolved. Ron Gilbert and the team are back to finish what they started all those years ago, in not only the best point and…

Pentiment review
Pentiment is a dectective mystery where you have to solve a series of murders set against the backdrop of 16th century Bavaria. This isn’t your sterotypical video game, but the team at Obsidian clearly have a passion for the subject matter, which leads us to this entertaining late entry in 2022 games of the year…

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet review
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the 9th generation of Pokemon games, and finally we have our true open-world we have wanted for years. Unfortunately the monkey paw curled at that moment, and together with this fantastic open-world we have some of the biggest technical problems we’ve seen in a Pokemon game, perhaps ever. For some…

Somerville review
Somerville is a recent release, one that had quite a lot of steam behind the marketing given it’s links to Playdead’s Limbo and Inside. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite live up to those classic games, albeit having a wonderful tone throughout the game. The gameplay and puzzles don’t quite live up to the hype of the…

The Entropy Center review
The Entrophy Center is a very clever puzzle game, set in space, and allows you to manipulate time plus it’s all wrapped up in a neat narrative that will tug on your heartstrings. The Entrophy Center is portal-adjascent, but that’s a compliment given Portal is one of the best games out there. When you first…

God of War Ragnarok review
It was always going to be tough following up on one of the best games of last generation. Sony Santa Monica did such a good job with God of War 2018, reimagining the story of Kratos and delivering a hard hitting story with great action. The weight of expectation was almost palpable, and today I’m…

Signalis review
Signalis is an excellent horror survival game, inspired by Resident Evil and Silet Hill, plus movies like Moon. It’s a game that will extract emotion from you in the best way, and today I’m going to run through all the reasons you should play it. In Signalis you play as an android called Elster. You…
