69 12% Harold Halibut (2024) - Rated 23 Apr 2024
"4 hours of story packaged with 6 hours of unskippable padding, walking down corridors to play mindless minigames. Why is this a game and not a 3 hour feature film?"
72 30% Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018) - Rated 14 Apr 2024
"Positives. Presentation is excellent, art direction, lighting, cinematics, facial animations. Negatives, bland vanilla AAA game design that's an incoherent mishmash of systems (RPG skill system, crafting, combat and stealth), long on rails stretches where you barely have anything to do but listen to the boring story, the joyless main character."
74 42% Planet of Lana (2023) - Rated 31 Jan 2024
85 94% Amnesia: The Bunker (2023) - Rated 31 Jan 2024
"The most nerve wracking experience in gaming, 10 hours of wandering in dark tunnels, getting lost, fighting huge vicious rats, dodging traps, creeping along in silence, hiding in closets and shadows, freaking out when a floorboard squeaks, running full tilt with your heart clawing it's way out of your chest and DYING gruesome death after gruesome death over and over again. Buckle up and enjoy the ride."
75 50% Microsoft Solitaire Collection (2012) - Rated 26 Jan 2024
73 36% Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (2017) - Rated 22 Jan 2024
"Points for originality, but the execution could be better. I played on PC, where the performance is so-so; the framerate is kind of jerky, and in a game that's asking you to do parries that's just not a good experience. Also the puzzle design can be obtuse. Needs more signposting and some better playtesting."
82 84% Resident Evil 2 (2019) - Rated 18 Jan 2024
"SO MUCH FUN."
75 50% Exoprimal (2023) - Rated 16 Jan 2024
"Could be good someday, but not enough content, too much repetitive grinding."
82 84% Monster Hunter: World (2018) - Rated 13 Jan 2024
76 57% Fez (2012) - Rated 05 Jan 2024
"Definitely worth playing for being fun and unique, although the puzzle design seems needlessly obtuse sometimes. You literally cannot finish this game without a guide because you have to do things like stand in a place and input an exact button sequence."
