70 71% A Plague Tale: Requiem (2022) - Rated 16 Mar 2024
"Expands on the groundwork of the original, though not always for the better, and ends up a less streamlined experience. The fantastical setting aside, I wasn't too keen on parts of the story being less grounded than its predecessor. That said, some beats were really good, especially the ending, though that was immediately lessened by the ensuing epilogue. The vistas of medieval Provence are gorgeous, and the soundtrack is once again good, though didn't stand out as much to me this time."
70 71% Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (2011) - Rated 15 Mar 2024
"Rating based on Remastered version. Like an overlong interactive Ghibli film. Looks great and has an incredible soundtrack. Took me a decent while to get into the combat system, but ultimately enjoyed it and its customisability. Bonus points for the moments in which some Welsh is used and I could enjoy the simple glee of "I know that word!"."
60 51% Soul Hackers 2 (2022) - Rated 25 Feb 2024
"Exactly what you'd expect from a Megami Tensei title with nothing about it that particularly stands out from the crowd."
70 71% A Plague Tale: Innocence (2019) - Rated 17 Feb 2024
"Really solid experience. Voice acting is a little iffy in parts, but everything else is polished to a high degree. I enjoyed the handling of progressing from effectively helpless to a combat machine. Amazing soundtrack."
60 51% OPUS: Echo of Starsong (2021) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"Took me a while to get into its world and the gameplay loop, but it was ultimately a passable, if not entirely gripping, experience."
50 28% Silent Hill: The Short Message (2024) - Rated 12 Feb 2024
"Weirdly low-budget acting and localisation, with a final section that falls into the trap of allowing frustration to kill any sense of fear."
100 99% Football Manager 2024 (2023) - Rated 04 Feb 2024
70 71% Hitman 3 (2021) - Rated 25 Jan 2024
"Feels like it sacrificed gameplay for narrative on the most part, and was the least enjoyable of the trilogy to me. That said, nowadays it effectively contains the first two games as well, so inherits their higher aggregate scores."
69 63% Hitman 2 (2018) - Rated 23 Jan 2024
"Played it within the World of Assassination. I personally appreciated the narrative guidance options, as I usually find such open sandbox experiences overwhelming. It also means I'm unlikely to replay missions, so it's a rather short experience. Not keen on them replacing the animated cutscenes with stills."
