Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Review
Super Mario Bros. Wonder takes 2D Mario in a new direction without losing what made the original games great while adding plenty of new ideas and gameplay mechanics at the same time.

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
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
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.

Takeshi’s Castle – Review
Hey, do you remember Takeshi’s Castle? I remember it from the mid-2000s. It took footage of a Japanese gameshow and locked it in an audio recording booth with Red Dwarf’s Craig Charles. Contestants would compete in knockout rounds for a chance to take on Takeshi and win… something. Not sure I ever saw anyone win.…

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.
