Andrew Todd's Reviews

Andrew lives in New Zealand, working in film and theatre in addition to being a games writer.

While it’s still one of the more outright comedies in the Telltale oeuvre, Guardians’ story is one of grief and loss and regret.

Bloody Days’ constant references won’t make sense to anyone who hasn’t seen Reservoir Dogs, and fans of the film will loathe it with a seething intensity.

May 3, 2017

The enemies feel like monsters sculpted out of plasticine from some studio-disowned animated Roald Dahl adaptation.

What Remains of Edith Finch isn’t some Batmanny trudge through a peat-bog of dead kids and deader parents. It’s about learning and letting go respectfully, finding love and tranquility and even joy in death.

Hope your inventory contains blood pressure medication.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe feels like a victory lap, the delightful culmination of decades of refinement.

Unscored - Yooka Laylee
Apr 20, 2017

Likely to appeal to the game’s twin demographics of children and, er, inner children.

After that, it’s just a gunfight.

The game treats Lara like shit, threatening to freeze, drown, impale, burn, eat, or otherwise murder her at every turn.

Unscored - Gravity Rush 2
Feb 5, 2017

One of the few open-world action games where I’d rather just zip around collecting crystals.

Contained yet sprawling, outwardly simple yet inwardly complex, Cyan has delivered a welcome change of pace from 2016’s action-heavy release schedule.

Unscored - For Honor
Mar 9, 2017

I can foresee a dedicated core of combat nerds jamming the shit out of For Honor, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is not just a great game - it's straight-up great science fiction.

Unscored - INSIDE

At four or so hours, it’s an incredibly concentrated burst of imagination that outdoes its predecessor in just about every way.

Bungie has tied a neat little bow on a game that started as a clumsy experiment and grew into a handsome online experience.

Unscored - Battlefield 1
Nov 28, 2016

The fantasies I want to fulfil aren’t found in the trenches.

Batman’s first episode ends on an exciting and intriguing cliffhanger, promising a story that feels genuinely new for the franchise.

Unscored - Titanfall 2
Nov 27, 2016

The forgotten stepchild of Shooter Season 2016.

Unscored - Shadwen
May 20, 2016

If only there were a Lily following the developers around, Frozenbyte might’ve been guilt-tripped into giving Shadwen the polish it needed.

Unscored - Push Me Pull You
May 26, 2016

If you can get a group together, though, you’ll fall in love with Push Me Pull You.
