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.

Unlovable characters, no decision making, tedious mechanics, novice writing, terrible sound design and the most boring story in years add up to what is looking to be DONTNOD's worst game ever.

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.

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

4 / 10.0 - Crime O'Clock
Jul 5, 2023

Crime O'Clock is boring, tedious, and infuriating all at once: I recommend an I Spy book for a much better time.

4 / 10.0 - After Us
May 23, 2023

After Us beats you over the head with paper-thin themes, but between the truly awful platforming and the frustrating level design, it'll be the least of your worries.

4 / 10.0 - Road 96: Mile 0
Apr 4, 2023

Road 96 Mile 0 is a wildly disappointing follow-up to one of my favorite indie games of all time. Unless you love poor writing, acting, animation, dialogue, controls, and gameplay, pick another route.

5 / 10.0 - Blockbuster Inc.
Jun 9, 2024

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.

5 / 10.0 - OUTLANDERS
Mar 7, 2023

The beautiful art and relaxing music of Outlanders can't save it from totally busted systems, constant softlocking, and exceedingly poor UI design choices.

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.

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.

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.

6 / 10.0 - Exoprimal
Jul 21, 2023

Exoprimal could have been an exceptionally fun Overwatch successor, but its disgusting monetization and pay-to-win structure have doomed it to extinction.

6 / 10.0 - Meet Your Maker
Apr 12, 2023

While some truly brilliant player dungeon designs shine through, Meet Your Maker needlessly over-complicates a simple and fun concept to the point of exasperation.

6 / 10.0 - Alekon
Jun 12, 2021

While the cute creatures and whimsical art are enough to make it somewhat enjoyable, Alekon falls short of its direct inspiration Pokemon Snap on every single note.

Gorgeous visuals don't quite make up for innacurate and clunky platforming.

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.

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

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.

While very well written and highlighted by some excellent fourth-wall breaking horror, Paranormasight far outstays its welcome with hours of unskippable rehashed and replayed text.

Overall, if you’re looking for a solid 3D platformer with next gen graphics and great performance, you found it. The humor is similar to the humor found in the show in the last few years, which is to say not nearly as good as the first few seasons of the show, but there are some great jokes here and there. It’s always nice to see Spongebob and Patrick on another adventure, and I really had a blast with all that positive energy. While it didn’t recapture the magic of its predecessor, I think the $40 price tag is right, and if you’ve been looking forward to it I heartily recommend it!
