Alex Donaldson's Reviews

Alex got his start writing about video games very young via two vibrant fan communities online. Having sparked a love for writing, especially about games, he went on to study English Language & Journalistic Studies while getting a first start at freelancing on the side. He now writes and gallivants in front of a camera for a variety of publications on and offline in a freelance capacity while also acting as the Director and Editor in Chief of the Mist Network websites, including RPG Site. He'd tell you his areas of expertise are Strategy, RPGs, Fighters, and Whiskey. Not necessarily in that order.

A great port of a brilliant fighter with a staggering amount of content beyond multiplayer brawling.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon don't change things dramatically, but for anyone who hasn't played the excellent Sun and Moon, this is now the definitive version.

This isn't the best version of Skyrim available, but the fact an RPG this large and impressive can now be played on the go is honestly a bit of a revelation.

This is a most faithful version of the 2016 game of the year contender and something of a technical marvel.

Odyssey is the best Mario game in many, many years – and while it returns to the N64-style formula, its triumphs are firmly its own.

Middle Earth: Shadow of War builds on almost every facet of its forerunner carefully – and the result is generally very exciting, if uninspiring.

I can't stop thinking about this little indie sports RPG – and it deserves the attention.

Look, here's the thing: Dragon's Dogma is one of the best games of the last generation. Now you've got a new chance to play it, because not enough people did.

This merging of Japanese-style visual novels and Western-style adventure games is an intriguing one.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more or less everything I'd hoped for as a fighting game nerd, but more casual players might find themselves wanting more.

Metroid 2 is a personal favourite of mine, and this remake does it justice and some.

Final Fantasy 12 is an acquired taste, but it's amazing because it's different.

Nintendo made a fighting game with a slickness that only Nintendo can manage.
