Leon Armstrong

An aspiring gaming journalist, after an exposure to gaming from a young age I knew this was my lifelong dream. With a soft spot for platformers and RPGs, my favourite games range from The Elder Scrolls, GTA (of course) and Legend of Zelda series, to the Sonic the Hedgehog, Rayman and Ori games. A soft spot for FPS games is maintained in my heart; titles such as Mass Effect, Bioshock and Deus Ex were Xbox 360 highlights.

The Lonesome Guild Review

The Lonesome Guild has a few flaws, however, this can’t detract from the passion, interweaving gameplay systems, and introspective story about friendship, that combines to perhaps take this to the top of many best indie games lists.

Yooka-Replaylee Review

A stunning soundtrack, world, and overall charm, harmonise with the troubled, yet enjoyable gameplay, and the accompanying arsenal of moves. Simply put, Yooka-Replaylee is fun, but not groundbreaking.

Extremely Powerful Capybaras Review

Extremely Powerful Capybaras is not only a fun thing to say, but a fantastically fun thing to play too; a combat, and corresponding upgrade system, full to the brim with possibilities, merge with the sheer love poured into the title to create an experience, not without its flaws, yet so satisfyingly enjoyable.

Bee Flowers: Save the Garden Review

Bee Flowers: Save the Garden is an amalgamation of letdowns, missed potential and repetitive gameplay and level design.

Slime Rancher 2 Review

Slime Rancher 2, of course, takes many things from the pre-laid foundation of its predecessor, very rarely for worse.

Whilst skate. does land some of its kick flips, ultimately I was left wanting much more.

Knight Quest: Goblins Raid Review

To use an apt metaphor for Knight Quest: Goblins Raid’s quality, a doubled edged blade would be most fitting

Axobubble Review

Axobubble is certainly no masterpiece, plagued with occasional bugs, a limited move-set, and narrow minded level design, yet its bubble gimmick can’t help but be viewed as a (much needed) stepping stone for Afil Games to learn from and expand upon in the future.

Acre Crisis Review

If you’re curious about retro-inspired horror and don’t mind rough edges, Acre Crisis might scratch a weird itch. But if you value polish, consistent mechanics, and coherent design then you’ll likely find more frustration than fright.

The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes Review

Young players who are resistant to a bit of repetition, who thrive on simple platformers with forgiving mechanics AND carry a love for creepy shelf-goblins will find a welcoming game that is perfectly suited to a level a day over advent.
