Rob Kershaw's Reviews
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.
A quirky fusion of genres which challenges as much as it charms.
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.
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.
A personal, touching journey wearing the bright red cloak of an intricate puzzle. For a game that doesnt utter a word, RiME says a lot - and its 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.
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.
What should have been an ramp up in excitement for the finale descends into dull, familiar tropes with bizarre characterisation.
A new IP which offers some great laughs and a fresh coat of paint, but not a whole lot more.
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 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.
A pedestrian episode which does little to shake the feeling that the series is in dire need of a shake-up.
A truly brave experiment in game design, which overcomes its erratic elements and occasional repetition with a remarkable piece of storytelling.
Despite its polish, System Rift is a disappointing exercise in ennui, offering very little new or interesting over its two-hour playing time.
A disappointing finale for a series that started out with huge potential, but which fails to tie up any loose ends satisfactorily.
Horizon is a must-play title for any PS4 owner, which boasts a remarkable lead character and a rich, thrilling open world.
