Nightmare Reaper (2022) - Rated 04 May 2025
"There's a slot-machine appeal to the randomized weapons and their garish, over-the-top effects that carried me along for a surprisingly long time, but tedium eventually set in. The design is messy in ways that aren't artistically interesting (the upgrade system, for instance, is 100% aimless busywork), the narrative's lack of taste is more depressing than shocking, and the visuals, with their crude pixel art half-obscured by a deluge of particles and bloom, soon become exhausting to look at."
RoboCop: Rogue City (2023) - Rated 03 May 2025
"I had a decent enough time, but the impressive audiovisual and gameplay aspects that sell the Robocop fantasy only put the weakness of the writing in sharper relief. It's just very poor — juddering semi-coherently from vignette to vignette, filled with characters right out of video game Central Casting, punctuated with amateurish punchlines, and, when it comes to text, habitually misspelled. At least Peter Weller (PhD!) really doesn't phone it in!"

Resident Evil (2002) - Rated 23 Mar 2025
"This game is the last hurrah of what used to be the defining aesthetic and rhythms of Resident Evil, before RE4 changed not only Capcom but the industry altogether, and it's a worthy one: the brilliant directorial control of the fixed camera angles, the lavish, painterly backgrounds, the gradual doling out of resources, the intricate puzzle-box construction of the mansion all work together with clockwork precision. It is also perhaps the most straightforwardly substitutive remake in all gaming."
