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.

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.

Feb 28, 2017

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

Feb 13, 2017

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

Jan 27, 2017

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

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

A disappointing finale to an underwhelming series.

8 / 10.0 - Mekazoo
Dec 5, 2016

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

9 / 10.0 - Owlboy
Nov 30, 2016

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

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

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.

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.

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

Oct 27, 2016

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

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

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.

Aug 19, 2016

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

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.
