    Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review

    There’s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that it’s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and…

    Launder Your Way To Success in Arcade Paradise VR – Review

    Arcade Paradise VR doesn’t mess around when it comes to nostalgia. The main menu drops you in front of a classic arcade cabinet in some black void with a carpet that instantly teleported me back twen… thirt… a good number of years. Man, I’m getting old. Once this game gets going, you’ll be managing your…

    White Day 2: The Flower That Lies – Review

    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School was a Korean game released on PC in 2001. While it achieved some acclaim it didn’t leave its own shores.

    Will your Faith be Bleak and Forsaken – Review

    Come with me, and you’ll be, in the world of Bleak Faith: Forsaken (c’mon admit it, you sang it to the Willy Wonka tune), where Sci-fi meets fantasy in this latest souls-like. Now, normally here is where I’d spin a small sentence or two for the set-up of the story, but quite frankly I had…

Pneumata – Is this the horror game you’ve been waiting for?
Pneumata – Is this the horror game you’ve been waiting for?

A new horror game is on the horizon and not in the season that you would expect and I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to play a preview of Pneumata prior to its release. The section of the Pneumata I was allowed to play came from about 60% into the main story. This was set inside an asylum, but we’re not told how this relates to the plot or the motivations I was meant to be having. While these certainly remained unclear to me, I found myself drawn to reading every text log I could find just to try and piece what I could together about the world that I was having to […]

Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye
Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye

Most people think of VR games as either gimmick-driven or involving leaping around your living room like Tigger with a blindfold. Retropolis 2 is one of the third type: a classically “flat” genre game that has been elevated by dropping it into VR. With the number of escape room-like VR games, I guess point and click was going to be a natural progression. Retropolis is a noir detective story set in a cartoon world of robots. The style is not quite what I’d think of as cell-shaded, but has lots of big blocks of bold colour, like a picture book. […]

Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review

There’s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that it’s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and enjoy. The Acolyte has its flaws, but perhaps surprisingly they’re not the same flaws that The Internet is crying about. About 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace, a group of force-sensitive witches raise two girls. Things are a bit creepy and cult-like, […]
