Bob Richardson's Reviews

Lover of ideas and stories that improve one's life. Thinks games can be art. Enjoys the budding scholarly research being done to illustrate the inherent benefits of gaming. Life is meant to be enjoyed; please be kind to others, especially those different from yourself in thought or person.

Without adding anything new to this still-budding sub-genre, justifying the investment in Gallowspire Survivors is difficult.

If you're tempted to pick this up as a fan of the original, I'd encourage you to think twice; dated design decisions and uninspired writing make for a slog of an adventure.

A heartfelt story that demonstrates the positive impact online relationships and communities can have on people. A must-play.

In some ways this remaster improves upon the original and in only one way is it a downgrade, but the core of this masterpiece remains intact.

If you've been waiting for a facelift to experience this historic title, this is a fantastic time to hop in, but expect some of the rougher parts of its original design to irritate.

A game worth admiring or even playing for historical purposes only, Final Fantasy II likely won't compare to most games released today.

Never before have I seen such fantastic customization and nuance mired by narrow quest and battle design.

Paranormasight uses its occult theme and unique cast of characters to add something new to the world of visual novels, and feels like a path few have walked.

Mageseeker is a slog that even die-hard League of Legends fans will have trouble getting through.

This is a highly niche title that expects a lot from the player but gives back in equal measure if you have the time and energy.

A fast paced and addicting action RPG that falls into routine a little too quickly.
