Rob Kershaw's Reviews

Co-founder of Jump Dash Roll. I've been gaming since the days of the Amstrad. Huge RPG fan. Planescape: Torment tops my list, but if a game tells a good story, I'm interested. Absolutely not a fanboy of any specific platform - the proof is in the gaming pudding.

An emotionless take on the genre, with little but its reliance on nostalgia to sustain its brief running time.

An engaging diversion for newcomers, but Pillars veterans will lament the lack of tangible story.

6 / 10.0 - Masochisia
Oct 13, 2015

The narrative is delightfully disturbing, but Masochisia needed more meat to its gameplay.

Oct 19, 2015

A short, sharp, back-to-basics roguelike which will amuse for a couple of hours.

There is potential here, but Murder is too brief to be satisfying.

5 / 10.0 - The Technomancer
Jul 22, 2016

Not good but not awful, The Technomancer serves more as a showcase for the future potential of Spiders than a game worth playing on its own merit.

7 / 10.0 - I Am Setsuna
Aug 1, 2016

It has a few too many flaws to be considered a classic, but I Am Setsuna does enough right to make it worth a play through - especially for fans of old-school RPGs.

A slow but solid first chapter which offsets ponderous exposition with some thrilling fight scenes, and introduces much-needed new mechanics to a now familiar template.

A polished continuation of an intriguing narrative, Mankind Divided is a familiar, yet enjoyable thirty hours of tech noir.

8 / 10.0 - The Turing Test
Sep 1, 2016

A sleek, shiny FPS puzzler that overcomes the limitations of its gameplay with some accessible conundrums and an interesting tale.

A step back for the series, but still an enjoyable couple of hours despite the flaws.

A colourful, often hilarious RPG-lite adventure, crippled by a tedious and frustrating combat system.

A low point for the series, both in gameplay and narrative cohesion.

8 / 10.0 - Tyranny
Nov 14, 2016

Whilst new and familiar, plodding and rushed in turn, Obsidian are proudly wearing the mantle left by Black Isle and have crafted another enjoyable story for fans of isometric CRPGs.

8 / 10.0 - Silence
Nov 17, 2016

The brevity of Silence doesn't detract from the emotional rollercoaster of its story, nor its truly gorgeous world.

Telltale's poor fourth episode run continues, but delivers the potential of a solid series ending.

9 / 10.0 - Owlboy
Nov 30, 2016

An utterly beguiling journey from beginning to end: surprising, moving, and accompanied by a near-perfect soundtrack.

A sparkling new take on an old formula, with enough innovation to keep things interesting.

A disappointing finale to an underwhelming series.

A strong opener and weaker follow-up chapter, but the third season is certainly heading in the right direction, narratively at least.
