It’s often a pleasant surprise to discover certain elements in video games which you would think have no business being there. Not as in Easter eggs or cameo appearances, those are great too, I’m referring to a concept or idea that doesn’t typically fit with the...

It’s no secret that I am a Souls fanboy. It’s also no secret that I absolutely adore most games that make an attempt at the Souls formula (Soulslikes) and will consume every ounce of media that I can get my hands on if it involves respawning enemies, hard but fair...

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is one, an absolutely sick video game title, two, a game based on a popular anime and manga series, and three, not a very good game. Although the concept and idea behind the show and game are absolutely fascinating and...

I started this game thinking that it would be just a Wish version of Sekiro / Bloodborne, and in many ways it is. You can tell it’s made for £20. However that’s no fault on the developers or publishers, more a fault of the gaming industry and definitely shows...

Rollerdrome is one of those games where all I want in life is to be good at it. Don’t be fooled or dissuaded by its deceptively simplistic graphical style as, while it looks by no means bad, it is clear the bulk of the effort in development went into making the...
