      Arise: A Simple Story Review (PlayStation 4)

      Arise: A Simple Story is, as the title implies, a non-convoluted tale of a man reliving his most precious memories in his own personal Purgatory. You see, at the start of the game the nameless Old Man is cremated on a funeral pyre, and instead of waking in Heaven...

      Solo: Islands of the Heart Revved-View (PlayStation 4)

      Inspired by the limited word count of social media and the quick-fire, unfiltered conversations that take place inside of them, Revved-Views is where I will attempt to review a game as concisely and as informal as possible. We’re all friends here, so rev your engines and come on this...
    • My Time With Degrees of Separation

      I love a good puzzle game but time-and-time again I find myself losing interest, either because of the difficulty (and I admit, I’m terrible at adapting to in-game logic) or because the game feels like a series of minigames that lack focus or direction. Focus or direction is important...

      The Surge 2: First Two Hours (and a bit…)

      I’ve never played Dark Souls or Bloodborne but I have played The Surge, and although I’m not fond of the Soulslike genre The Surge’s sci-fi setting had me hooked from the get-go. It should come as no surprise then, that I was excited to play The Surge 2. From...

    • Glass Masquerade Review (PlayStation 4)

      Glass Masquerade is a relaxing (sometimes irritating) glorified jigsaw puzzle game where the jigsaw pieces are remnants of shattered stained-glass clocks. Set inside a museum, you’re tasked with fixing these beautiful pieces of art by piecing the broken shards back together. Simply drag and drop the pieces onto the...
    • Playing Pode On My Own Made Me Feel Lonely

      Pode is a cute co-up puzzle game about a cube of stone and a fallen star teaming up to reach the top of a mountain-tree-thing. Each character has its own unique skills that when combined open the doors to some interesting physics-based riddles and gameplay. I previewed Pode at...

      The Good, The Bad, And The Augmented Review (PlayStation 4)

      The Surge’s second DLC The Good, The Bad, and The Augmented throws Warren into a testing chamber that simulates the Wild West, and although that sounds like an epic environment to decapitate CREO employees in it’s actually a laborious slog that has fallen so far from what you would...
