Video Game Review: nOS (Nintendo Switch)
The Switch is so far behind its competitors in terms of its menu and general system options that it’s almost laughable. Even older Nintendo consoles have a more flexible, customisable […]
Book Review: Minecraft Master Builds (2022)
Though I have tried to get into Minecraft, I’ve always struggled. Presented with a blank slate and limitless opportunities for creativity is something that always brings my lack of imagination […]
Post 1000!
When I started writing my blog, I thought it’d be great to get myself in the habit of writing regularly. My confidence in my own writing somehow evaporated in my […]
The Music of Eldest Souls: An Interview with Sergio Ronchetti
“I remember playing Dead Space and just thinking ‘why is it so scary?’,” Sergio Ronchetti tells me of the first time he realised that someone must have been responsible for […]
Sirens: Battle of the Bards – An Interview with Satine Phoenix and Jamison Stone
“I was eight years old,” Satine Phoenix reveals, about her first encounter with Dungeons & Dragons. “I found the starter box in my basement. It had my Dad’s old characters […]
Board Game Review: Cities: Skylines – The Board Game
City builders are a great genre of video game. Though my specific favourite is still – after all these years – Sim City on the SNES, there’s nevertheless been some brilliant games in the genre in recent times. With EA/Maxis dropping the ball so badly with the last Sim City title (which is a story unto itself, if you don’t […]
Review: Shutter Stroll
Available now on itch.io – Price: $5 – By: Jannik Boysen The term ‘walking simulator’ is often used disparagingly; intended to mock experiences which aren’t combat or heavily dramatic in terms of their gameplay or story. Yet some of the most wonderful, affecting and even relaxing experiences I’ve had with games in recent years are from titles that could be […]
Review: Doodle Date
Available for: Windows – Buy: Steam or itch.io – By: Nick Lives (Steam & itch.io) When I first checked out Doodle Date, I thought it looked like a light-hearted, creative little spin on the dating sims that seem so prevalent these days. Whimsical illustrations accompany the screenshots and trailer – and even though my artwork is nowhere up to the […]
Review: Art Sqool
Available as part of the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice & Equality (which now features an incredible 1658 games and has raised more than $6m for a very worthy cause), Art Sqool is an odd, but charming and very absorbing game in which you’ll create art based on prompts given to you by an AI tutor, with the ultimate aim […]
400
It’s not the most dramatic number, is it? 400 is like an awkward middle ground between the Sparta-invoking 300 and the half century grandness of 500. Yet it’s still a pretty big milestone for me. A little over a year ago, I had barely a handful of published articles to my name – and most of those were written and […]
Board Game Review: Exit: The Stormy Flight
I honestly don’t know why I do this to myself. After covering three brilliant, incredibly clever, fourth wall breaking games in the Exit series, I’m now onto the fourth – The Stormy Flight. It’s ridiculously hard to write a review of the Exit games, because the puzzles and even the box itself can contain spoilers. They are, however, worth covering […]
The Cloud Dungeon – Review
Available from http://www.andhegames.com My love for tabletop RPGs (TTRPGs) started a long time ago – way back in the early 80s, when I became obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons. I’d […]
