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.
6 / 10.0 - The Little Acre
Dec 29, 2016

A wonderfully animated but disappointingly short adventure, which nevertheless points to a promising future for its creators.

A potentially beautiful game, crippled by an awful camera, archaic controls, and bizarre, frustrating gameplay.

A fun, colourful throwback to yesteryear whose quirky charm and addictive gameplay just about outweigh its issues.

The weight of expectation could have proven too much, but inXile has delivered a remarkable narrative experience which deserves to be savoured.

Horizon is a must-play title for any PS4 owner, which boasts a remarkable lead character and a rich, thrilling open world.

A disappointing finale for a series that started out with huge potential, but which fails to tie up any loose ends satisfactorily.

Despite its polish, System Rift is a disappointing exercise in ennui, offering very little new or interesting over its two-hour playing time.

8 / 10.0 - Nier: Automata
Mar 23, 2017

A truly brave experiment in game design, which overcomes its erratic elements and occasional repetition with a remarkable piece of storytelling.

A pedestrian episode which does little to shake the feeling that the series is in dire need of a shake-up.

A divisive entry in a lauded series, which manages to succeed despite encumbering its open-world design and interesting upbeat narrative with lacklustre combat and poor UI.

9 / 10.0 - The Sexy Brutale
Apr 13, 2017

A cleverly plotted puzzle game wrapped in the cloak of a murder-mystery. It may be brief, but The Sexy Brutale will certainly deliver an unforgettable evening.

A new IP which offers some great laughs and a fresh coat of paint, but not a whole lot more.

What should have been an ramp up in excitement for the finale descends into dull, familiar tropes with bizarre characterisation.

9 / 10.0 - Persona 5
Apr 28, 2017

It's huge, but Persona 5 never outstays its welcome. If you're a JRPG fan without a PS4, this is the game that fully justifies the purchase.

Tenderly handling the subject of death while portraying it in interesting ways, Edith Finch is a narrative adventure that deserves to be chronicled.

10 / 10.0 - RiME
May 25, 2017

A personal, touching journey wearing the bright red cloak of an intricate puzzle. For a game that doesn’t utter a word, RiME says a lot - and it’s all wonderful.

A poor ending to the weakest season to date, bogged down with inconsistent characterisation and a plot that ignores or discards many key threads.

Inoffensive JRPG fodder that would have benefitted from a true remake rather than a lacklustre port.

7 / 10.0 - Pinstripe
Jun 19, 2017

Even with its lightweight platforming and puzzles, Pinstripe remains an enjoyable and touching romp through Hell.

Humour and pacing is sacrificed for a delve into Rocket's past, but even that cannot sustain a lacklustre storyline.
