Nick Gillham's Reviews

Nick is an avid video game entusiast and has been since his mum first allowed him to play on the Atari 2600 she never touched. To this day he's had the pleasure of playing on a vast array of different gaming machines. He's a recovering WoW-holic and when he's not playing games he's talking about games, reading about games, writing about games, watching videos about games, watching his son play games or chatting rubbish on Twitter. A lover, not a fighter and an all round good guy (he would say that, he wrote this after all), he's happy to be here as part of GIAG.

Dragon Quest XI S is as perfect a port as you could ask for, and makes you feel good about owning a Switch in the first place.

Initial bewilderment gives way to fascination as you understand what Ancestors is trying to do, but fiddly controls and a lack of hand-holding leads to frustration

7 / 10.0 - Hyperforma
Sep 13, 2019

Hyperforma is constantly stunning in terms of looks, but you'll spend too much time wondering what you're supposed to be doing.

The Creature in the Well is a harsh mistress, but one that's incredibly rewarding to those who push on

Agent A is more Johnny English than James Bond but there's no harm in having a little fun as a spy.

6.5 / 10.0 - Oninaki
Aug 21, 2019

A brave choice at something different by Tokyo RPG Factory finds a game that's good but crying out for new ideas

9 / 10.0 - Telling Lies
Aug 21, 2019

I won't tell any lies here, Telling Lies is another excellent piece of narrative game design from Sam Barlow and I sincerely hope there's more to come

8 / 10.0 - Fantasy Strike
Aug 19, 2019

Sirlin Games' Fantasy Strike is looking to make pros out of all of us with a simple pick up and play style that hides considerable tactical depth.

5 / 10.0 - Exception
Aug 14, 2019

Exception almost wound up being exceptional, but unfortunately is broken enough to warrant steering clear of until things are fixed

Aug 6, 2019

A solid first effort from the Romanian outfit, a good narrative just let down by some overly simple puzzling

While not as horrible as the Professor's pets, overly fiddly controls mar an otherwise decent puzzle adventure.

8 / 10.0 - PAWARUMI
Jul 24, 2019

How this hadn't been done before I will never know, but Pawarumi's melding of rock, paper, scissors to a shooter is quite frankly, a blast.

Jul 11, 2019

Building on the original's strong foundations Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a sequel that improves on the original in almost every way.

9 / 10.0 - Muse Dash
Jun 27, 2019

Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Muse Dash is a brilliant slice of musical goodness.

A marriage made in heaven, Cadence of Hyrule is a toe-tapping, monster slaying groove-fest

7 / 10.0 - Mini-Mech Mayhem
Jun 18, 2019

Miniature mechs minus the mayhem, Futurlab's newest is bursting with tactical depth, yet lacking in variety.

9 / 10.0 - Tetris 99
Jun 9, 2019

If you're after a royale-y good time you should look much farther than Tetris 99.

Jun 4, 2019

Project Nimbus is a solid if unspectacular mecha action game that's packed with content for a reasonable price.

While Wastelands improves on episode two for the most part there's still a long way to go to hit the heights of season one.

8.5 / 10.0 - BoxBoy! + BoxGirl!
Apr 26, 2019

Boxboy + Boxgirl is a banging, box-based Brain-teasing bonanza and brilliant at a budget price.
