Nirav Gandhi's Reviews

Nirav is a 29 year-old urban planner that moonlights as a game journalist (this is not a joke). He considers himself an authority on Pokemon, Fallout, and the Dishonored series. His favorite things are Nintendo, dinosaurs, and Yoshi the Nintendo dinosaur.

On top of how excited it is to be so edgy, the levels are designed better than they have ever been before – the perfect mix of on rails, cinematic set pieces, platforming challenge, boost control, player choice of many routes, fun challenges, and great replayability come together to make Shadow Generations the hands-down best 3D Sonic game ever.

If you're only on PC, this is a solid way to experience my favorite horror game ever. PlayStation players may be better off with the original.

8 / 10.0 - Tiny Glade
Oct 9, 2024

I recommend Tiny Glade for any lovers of cozy games, city builders, sandbox games, or playing with LEGOs. It’s beautiful, chill, and full of heart. It does exactly what it needs to, and is so smartly designed it seems to predict what you are trying to do while you’re figuring it out yourself. I can tell I will be spending many more hours building these beautiful diorama worlds. Can we build it? Yes we can!

9 / 10.0 - Frostpunk 2
Sep 17, 2024

Frostpunk 2 is a masterpiece of design, and it'll be a warm day in Frostland before I let a single one of you skip it.

Amazing visuals can't save this game from its boring gameplay, dull characters, and myriad of design problems.

Despite boring story segments, this game finds great humor and ultra-malleable gameplay that breathes fresh air into tactics games.

This grief management simulator is not for the faint of heart; be prepared for every agonizing minute of every day that follows death.

Kunitsu-Gami combines real-time strategy, tower defense, hack 'n slash, and management into the most innovative AAA game of the last decade.

5 / 10.0 - Blockbuster Inc.

While the film making simulator is fun, it's both lacking in content and buried under a huge, boring management simulator that dilutes the magic of movies.

10 / 10.0 - Animal Well
May 19, 2024

Animal Well has shattered my understanding of game design in the best ways. Solemn, delightful, and haunting, you simply must discover it yourself.

If you're looking for the hardest, most obtuse, and most complicated puzzle game ever, take off your laser goggles. You need look no further.

I am shocked to my core; as a great lover of RPGs, this is one of the best ever. It's a must play for any genre fan out there.

8 / 10.0 - Botany Manor
Apr 8, 2024

While sometimes it asks too much of players' brains, Botany Manor features some of my favorite art direction ever and a wondrous world to explore.

While far too complex for genre newbies, anyone looking for a fantasy take on Fallout Shelter should look no further.

6 / 10.0 - SummerHouse
Mar 8, 2024

While relaxing and pretty, Summerhouse features no progression and very little content. I've built all there is to build.

With one foot in the past and one in the future, the powerfully themed narrative tied to masterful gameplay cements Infinite Wealth as an undisputed all-time great.

While lacking in story and heart, the life sim and city building mechanics enable players to use beloved Disney characters and decorations to truly design a whole new world.

8 / 10.0 - SteamWorld Build
Nov 27, 2023

Good for genre veterans and even better for newbies, Steamworld Build is a steamlined, silly, and smooth city-builder that's fun from the first foundation block to the last keystone.

The Pale Reach is as good a reason as any to dip back into one of the best indie games of the year, but it falters in a lack of content, interesting narrative, and scares.

With some of the worst writing, voice acting, dialogue, and misleads in the history of video games, this rip-off of Danganronpa is an achievement unto itself.
