Warning! Contains Bears

How many bears do you expect? Bears may have dominated social media discussion recently and I’m sure people have plenty of reasons for “picking the bear” so I’m not going to try and tie this in, but have you ever considered bears? I hadn’t really until I happened to read a random billboard featuring the…

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. […]

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – Anime Review

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – Anime Review

A human Hero, a human Priest, a dwarf Axe Master, an elf Mage and a journey to save the world from the Demon King. Sounds pretty cliché right? But what happens after that?

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

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, […]

Launder Your Way To Success in Arcade Paradise VR – Review

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 own arcade keeping the place tidy, buying new machines, setting the cost per play and bonus you get to play the games in your spare time! There are challenges on each of the 37 games available that once completed boost the cabinets’ popularity. So being […]
