I am an actor and a writer. I act quite a bit on stage, a little bit on tv and never on tuesdays. I have had some of my writing published and have written for TV and stage. I have been playing games since they begun and don't seem to be getting any better.

The big takeaway for Reus 2 is this: don’t give up on it in the beginning.

Windborn – Echoes of the Night Review

Windborn - Echoes of the Night has none of that trademark Aery calmness. Its entire focus is on relentlessly hitting checkpoints against a strict time limit. To be honest, the whole package feels a bit half-baked. It's a real shame.

Lumo 2 Review

You’ll have fun with Lumo 2, even if the isometric visuals do prove to be a persistent nightmare during the more demanding platforming sections. See through that and this is a well-crafted, retro-themed surprise.

Trivia: Knowledge Trainer – the Quiz Game Review

Trivia: Knowledge Trainer - the Quiz Game is good for a bit of fun for an hour or so, and the knowledge-building part is genuinely great.

KAKU – Ancient Seal Review

0
KAKU - Ancient Seal comes with some big ARPG ambitions. Yes, there are times in which rough moments pop up, and for me, the platforming elements are too floaty. But nevertheless, this is a great game with a wonderful world to explore, pulled along by some decent combat and Zelda-like puzzles. 

Before Exit: Gas Station Review

0
Before Exit: Gas Station cleverly lures you into many false senses of security.

Creepy Shift: Roadside Diner Review

0
If you’re a fan of horror, Creepy Shift: Roadside Diner does a good job of mixing scares with sim work. But just remember, don’t let that jukebox play… 

Football Manager 26 Console Review

0
Football Manager 26 Console, at times, borders on the unplayable.

Syberia – Remastered Review

0
Syberia - Remastered is not a perfect game, and there are many moments when it really does feel like it’s 2002 again, but you’ll mostly be glad to experience this iconic story from the very beginning.

P1: Anchor Light Review

0
There is a vogue for this genre of game, where you are tasked with spotting anomalies in a short, repeating loop. Some are very scary, but P1: Anchor Light feels quite unique with its strange set-up, the terrifying hand from the sky, and the fragmented narrative that needs to be unlocked piece by piece. 

Goodnight Universe Review

0
The story of Goodnight Universe is so good and the gameplay is so much fun, that it supersedes the need for any fancy tech. 

A Pizza Delivery Review

0
I am a fan of games that take risks with their gameplay content. A Pizza Delivery does this with an offbeat narrative and visual storytelling.

Amanda the Adventurer 2 Review

0
I didn't think I needed another Amanda the Adventurer game in my life, but I am so glad Amanda the Adventurer 2 came along, as it successfully takes the core experience from the first game and progresses it further in meaningful ways.

Little Nightmares III Review

0
Does Little Nightmares III push the series onto another level? Well, in terms of the addition of co-op play and the ability to use combat, it certainly does. However, the journey through these new worlds, while visually distinct, does cover some similar thematic beats, and at times, it can feel like a well-trodden path.

King of Meat Review

0
King of Meat does a lot of things right, with its fun gameplay and co-op action that provides short, sharp hits of chaotic fun. It's a game that makes you want to keep coming back.

Hanoi Puzzles: Flip Match Review

0
If you like puzzle games, Hanoi Puzzles: Flip Match does a great job of carrying on from the first game, albeit with an interesting new twist.

Buildest Review

0
Buildest feels like a hard one to mark because, on one hand, it has a family-friendly, co-op, party-game feel to it, but at the same time, you must keep to the strict rules of building without any opportunity to go outside the box.

Blood of Mehran Review

0
Blood of Mehran has all the right bones for what a game of this type should be, and it plays fine, but it's one that unfortunately never truly impresses.

Train Sim World 6 Review

0
In Train Sim World 6 I liked the new random events, even though after a while I saw the same things appearing, and the new tracks and trains are always appreciated. But I am looking forward to seeing what the next entry will, hopefully truly pushing the franchise forward in a more significant way.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master Review

Going for a slide in the mountains is a whole lot of fun, whether that be for a mission or just to pass the time. The scenery looks amazing, and drifting feels so right that I can forgive a lot of the bad points found in JDM: Japanese Drift Master. It isn’t the most polished game ever, and does come with its quirks, but as a drifting game, it is currently right up at the top of the tree.
