Elden Ring Nightreign (2025) - Rated 06 Jun 2025
"Enjoying it so far, but I wonder how much replayabaility there'll be once "mastered"."
Doom II (2019) - Rated 29 May 2025

"Rating based on Doom + Doom II version."
Doom + Doom II (2024) - Rated 29 May 2025
"Rating this solely on the basis of Doom II. It plays identically to its predecessor, but was less enjoyable. I think the main factor in that is the level design. My main complaint with the first game of confusing progression paths returns, amplified, and some levels just feel gimmicky. The addition of the super shotgun and new enemies is a plus at least."
Doom (1993) - Rated 27 May 2025
"Whilst I grew up with Quake, Doom always somehow eluded me, so I'm approaching this with no nostalgia. I played the recent version on Game Pass, so I assume there were some QOL improvements, but this stands up really well over 30 years later. My main complaint is how easy it is to get confused as to how to progress on some maps, but had no other major gripes. You can see why it was so influential."
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Words of Vengeance (2025) - Rated 24 May 2025
"An extended playable advert. Short enough that the fun of its silliness doesn't wear thin."
Doom: The Dark Ages (2025) - Rated 23 May 2025
"A slightly slower, more methodical entry, that refreshes the aesthetic of the modern series and tweaks mechanics enough to be distinct. I found myself more interested in exploration to uncover all the secrets than with the previous games. Features a bit more narrative this time round, which is nothing special but inoffensive enough."
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025) - Rated 17 May 2025
"Two things knock the score down for me: the dodge/parry system (which is not badly designed or implemented, just not my cup of tea), and two earlyish sections being very heavy on the whimsy made me lose investment for their duration. Other than that, everything is of the highest calibre."
