Borderlands 3 has forced me to admit something horrible and worrying about myself. I am faced with the fact that my own humour and what I find funny might not be as highbrow or sophisticated as I want to believe. Upon Borderlands return, the internet in a rare moment of agreement decided that it was […]
Read MoreBy the time Assassins Creed Rogue came out, no one’s being mean when they say the series was well past it’s best. The formula was creaking under the weight of new features that were being added as it was being wheeled out annually. Resulting in the ungodly mess of a launch that was Assassins Creed […]
Read MoreI cannot imagine playing Doom 3 when it was first launched and as it was originally intended, with having to hold the flashlight and gun separately. I appreciate the attempt to make it more of a horror game but ultimately you would just be shooting shadows for 12 hours. Playing the updated version on Switch […]
Read MoreOkami HD is a 2018 re-release of Clover Studio’s seminal 2006 PS2 action-adventure game. Simply put if you enjoy The Legend of Zelda style games or action-adventure in general, you must play Okami. It is one of the finest examples of this genre and even holds up excellently today. Okami managed to out Nintendo-Nintendo and […]
Read MoreThis game has more style than anything in years, it’s like Persona 5 but instead of acid-infused jazz, it’s all about Brutalism and office culture. I am in love with everything about this game, the story, the style of the world and the gameplay. It just grabbed me like nothing else has for a while. […]
Read MoreSo yes, the first thing on this year’s list was also on last years list, but that’s just how good Splatoon 2 is! There is no better game from this year or last, to spend anything from 15 minutes or 3 hours with. Splatoon 2 simply feels great, everything from the shooting to swimming through […]
Read MoreThe story is batshit crazy, in the best possible way. I won’t spoil it but my god, Machine Games goes to some crazy places that you never will see coming. Yet every character is superbly written and well rounded. The human drama element, is better than most of games. And better than games are expected […]
Read MoreDishonored: Death of the Outsider is not simply more content for Dishonored 2. But an old-school expansion with more stuff in it that other full priced games. Death of the Outsider takes everything that was great about Dishonored 2, adds some new and refreshing twists and makes the return to Karnaca more than worth your […]
Read MoreMan, Nintendo is on a roll, a serious roll. Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon and now this, the best Mario game in years. 2017 is the year of Nintendo. And Super Mario Odyssey is the photo finish to prove it. If Breath of the Wild was a drastic rebirth for its series, then Odyssey is a […]
Read MoreRise of the Tomb Raider is a good game, definitely. But I can’t help feeling that if I’d played it on its original release in 2015, that I would have been blown away. It’s a testament to how many great games have come out in 2017 so far, that Tomb Raider just can’t keep up. […]
Read MoreFull disclosure – I have not yet finished this. but with nearly 50 hours of my life spent in this game. I have full confidence in saying this is not just one of the best games I have played this year but that I have played ever. When talking about Zelda with people, I always […]
Read MoreGames should be fun, first and foremost. Yes, they can be and are art. But sometimes you just want to lose yourself in exactly what video games are, games. This is what Doom sets out to do and thankfully, achieves. At it’s best, everything else slips away in Doom and you get caught up in […]
Read MoreMario Kart is pure joy, like the essence of a Saturday morning cartoon. It has always felt this way for me and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is thankfully no exception. Starting with Mario Kart 64 as a kid, soaring over the jumps in Wario Stadium and I’ve been hooked on that infectious Mario Kart joy […]
Read MoreThe most refreshing thing about Uncharted: Lost Legacy is not the new gameplay twists or exciting locales. But the well written, funny and touching between two women, one who is mixed race and one who is Black South African. It is rare, in any media, to see a story like this but in games, this […]
Read MoreIt’s rare for a video game to tell an interesting story, it’s even rarer for that to be an interesting sci-fi story. But yet, that’s the part of Horizon that really hit me. Don’t get me wrong, nearly everything about Horizon is exceptional. From the deep and rewarding combat to absolutely stunning graphics. But to […]
