3.8 / 5.0 - Bear With Me
Aug 8, 2019

I would fully recommend Bear with Me: The Complete Collection to anyone looking for a narrative driven story game. Even if they wouldn’t normally be drawn to a point and click adventure, I honestly believe the story itself is strong enough to carry the game beyond its mechanics.

1.4 / 5.0 - Sagebrush
Aug 9, 2019

I really wanted to come away from Sagebrush having found a new little gem in the indie game scene. Instead I found a very short, predictable story, that I barely engaged with.

1.8 / 5.0 - The Forbidden Arts
Aug 17, 2019

To summarise – I did not enjoy my time with The Forbidden Arts. It feels to me like a game that could do with an extra 6 months in development to iron out some of my niggling issues. Though, that still might not help the uninspiring narrative.

5 / 5.0 - Gears 5
Sep 19, 2019

I think Gears 5 is a resounding success for The Coalition and Xbox as a whole. We’ve been crying out for quality first party games for ages now, and Gears 5 has managed to hit the standard everyone wants.

2.6 / 5.0 - Niffelheim
Sep 25, 2019

If you’re looking for a new survival game with a heavy reliance on resource gathering and crafting then this could be a good consideration for you. If like me you want a fun Viking game, and don’t get on with those previously mentioned things, then it’s best to avoid this.

4 / 5.0 - Stela
Oct 28, 2019

Giving the gamer flexibility to come to their own conclusions is part of the beauty of it. Does this hit the height of Limbo and Inside? Certainly not, but it does have a very good go. Anyone who is a fan of those games, should certainly be checking this out.

3.6 / 5.0 - Close to the Sun
Nov 4, 2019

Close to the Sun is certainly an enjoyable journey, one that does include some jump scares and horror moments along the way while exploring what is a bit of a disturbing view on an alternate timeline.

Trine 4 is a great success. It’s strange coming into a series so late and being able to get so much enjoyment out of it. But here I am, fully recommending anyone with previous experience with Trine, and those who are just fans of fun puzzle platforming games, to check this one out.

1 / 5.0 - Police Chase
Nov 22, 2019

I take no joy in slating a game. Particularly when it’s from a smaller developer who has likely spent a large percentage of the budget into the game. But I cannot emphasise any more how poor an effort this is. Across the board. Do not waste your money on this title.

2.2 / 5.0 - Mad Games Tycoon
Nov 27, 2019

I’m sure there is a niche market for a game like this. But for me, a game about controlling a company that makes games doesn’t appeal overly.
