    Starfield – Review

    Bethesda Studio’s latest flagship title Starfield has finally launched (see what I did there) and after spending a considerable amount of time with it I have finally made my evaluation because, oof, this was a difficult one to judge.

  • Ghostrunner 2 – Review

    Ghostrunner 2 – Review

    Sometimes it’s worth taking a chance on a game. I missed the first Ghostrunner, probably full-up on the cyberpunk aesthetic at the time, but mostly through timing and my own aversion to the idea of a game where I can lose in one hit. However, I had some time – somehow between Baldur’s Gate 3…

  • Kill it With Fire VR – Review

    Kill it With Fire VR – Review

    It’s time to take the fight back to the arachnids, only this time they’re all around you. I reviewed the flat version of Kill It With Fire fairly favourably. It was straightforward arcadey destruction, a fun distraction. This VR release is on one virtual hand pretty much the same game, but on the other disembodied…

  • Weedcraft Inc. – Review

    Weedcraft Inc. – Review

    I remember back in the day, when Facebook gaming was just becoming a thing and Farmville was at its peak, there was a similar farming sim game called Pot Farm, from Brain Warp Studios*. I played Pot Farm religiously back in 2010 on my Fujitsu Siemens laptop and, while I may have been there for…

  • Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – Review

    Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – Review

    The Spider-Man’s (Spider-Men? Spider-People?) are back, this time with a game built for PS5, and boy does that make a difference – but we’ll get to that.

  • Calico – Review

    Calico – Review

    Calico began life as a KickStarter project which was picked up by Whitehorn Games and Maple Whispering after achieving double its target goal. While previously released on PC, Switch and Xbox, Calico is pawing its way onto PlayStation, and I jumped at the chance to play this magical, cosy adventure.

  • Sonic Superstars – Review

    Sonic Superstars – Review

    Sonic Team has done it again! And by done it again, I mean created a truly mixed bag: a game that’s great in some areas, so good that it almost makes you think Sonic is “back again”, only to sabotage itself with poorly implemented new mechanics and some baffling design decisions.

  • BROK The InvestiGator – Review

    BROK The InvestiGator – Review

    COWCAT’s BROK The InvestiGATOR mixes a lost game style, the point-and-click adventure, with a 2D side-scrolling beat ‘em up (e.g. Streets of Rage). Those who haven’t played point-and-click games will get their chance with this one.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 – Review

    Baldur’s Gate 3 – Review

    Baldur’s Gate 3… It’s good! It’s better than good! Go get it. End of review. Are you still here? Sigh fine, why is it good? Okay, where to begin…
