Slay the Princess (2023) - Rated 10 Jul 2025
"Very cool to seen genuinely meaningful choices implemented to this degree in a visual novel format. Lots of games promise this level of narrative flexibility but few actually deliver on it"
FBC: Firebreak (2025) - Rated 05 Jul 2025
"Eh, sorry, Remedy. I gave it a few matches and am not feeling it one bit. If this was a bonus multiplayer mode added onto Control for free, I still wouldn't play it, but it would be a cool extra for the people who are into this sort of thing. Releasing it as its own game feels a little rich"
To a T (2025) - Rated 05 Jul 2025
"Crosses that pivotal line from weird into total nonsense. By the time the second cringey extended poop joke unfolded and the giraffe started singing a god awful and repetitive song about sandwiches, I was ready to uninstall."
XIII Remake (2020) - Rated 05 Jul 2025
"Never played the original so I had no nostalgia or expectations attached. This is weak and clunky at best. Shooting doesn't feel good. The "stealth" is barely functional and also entirely pointless. The level design is repetitive and boils down to just walking forward while baddies pop out of every nook and cranny. Nothing is overtly terrible but it fails to excel in any individual area"
Spray Paint Simulator (2025) - Rated 05 Jul 2025
"How the fuck does a game this simple manage to lose my save progress TWICE?! Stop releasing broken, unfinished, buggy messes! (I'd be more annoyed if the game was worth playing more of anyway)"
A Game About Digging A Hole (2025) - Rated 12 Jun 2025
"I wholly dug digging a whole hole in A Game About Digging A hole and I wholeheartedly recommended digging in to dig your own whole hole in A Game About Digging a Hole, you'll dig it"
Avowed (2025) - Rated 12 Jun 2025
"Very middle of the road, which makes it extremely disappointing when it comes from a studio like Obsidian"
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (2023) - Rated 12 Jun 2025
"Too mid to be worth the time"
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (2025) - Rated 12 Jun 2025
"Not fixing decade-old bugs and broken systems is such a Bethesda move"
Dusk (2018) - Rated 23 May 2025
"After trying a handful of modern boomer shooters, I had been convinced that the genre simply wasn't my bag. Dusk obliterated that notion (and Cultic too but I'm still working on that one). Excellent on every level from the combat to the music to the art direction, and especially the top-tier level design. The two games that have blown me away the most so far this year were both made by David Szymanski — what a dev, and highly aspirational considering the tiny teams behind this and Gloomwood."
