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.

Smart and accessible, Reigns: Her Majesty doesn’t stray too far from the original, but subtle improvements make it a worthwhile addition to your mobile library.

Liked - Reigns
Feb 1, 2018

Reigns has a unique blend of humour and game mechanics which are perfectly suited to mobile play. It is accessible enough to dip in and out of, but once you’ve played through it a couple of times, you’ll have seen pretty much everything it has to offer. That said, for those few hours, Reigns is definitely worth swiping right for.

A finale as uneven as the series itself; a few highlights and more meaningful outcomes to earlier choices are offset by Telltale's usual problems of pacing and gameplay mechanics.

A flawed episode, but one which is finally getting the series back on track. At this stage though, we have to wonder whether it's too little, too late.

Superior to the original in almost every department, The Evil Within 2 will still divide opinion with its difficulty. Persevere though, and you'll find a gore-soaked diamond.

A gorgeous expansion that emphasises Horizon's strengths - it may feel a little too familiar at times, but the core gameplay is as solid as ever.

The new gold standard in single-player FPS campaigns.

Another decent selection of titles to liven up a party - but bring lots of friends, as more is definitely merrier.

6 / 10.0 - Tokyo Dark
Nov 3, 2017

A flawed but brave take on a traditional genre, and one which oozes enough atmosphere to keep you playing until the credits.

Another mediocre entry in a series that really should be anything but dull, The only thing we're feeling here is ennui.

6 / 10.0 - Observer
Oct 18, 2017

A beautifully realised and often harrowing cyberpunk tale let down by repetition and gameplay which is both simple and frustrating in equal measure.

A quietly compelling return to Oregon, which substitutes sci-fi gimmickry for an earnest look at growing up.

8 / 10.0 - Pyre
Sep 14, 2017

A quirky fusion of genres which challenges as much as it charms.

7 / 10.0 - Black The Fall
Jul 10, 2017

A stylish, bleak puzzler which overcomes many of its flaws through tightly polished delivery.

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

7 / 10.0 - Pinstripe
Jun 19, 2017

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

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

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

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.

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