Rob is a teacher, a father, a husband and a gamer. He's been the latter for longer than the former 3 combined. Probably. He likes pretty much every genre, but puzzle platformers tend to upset his brain.
Combinations of light and heavy attacks unleash different combos that can hit multiple enemies or drive foes away from you, but really you can get through the game without doing anything fancy. On hard mode you actually do need to be a bit…
Forgive Me Father 2 – Unforgiven too?
As before though, I’m not all that interested in the story, as the combat is absolutely the focus. I’m happy to say that the combat is just as much fun as ever! Fast-paced, brutal, and plentiful, shooting your way through your foes is…
Railbreak – Not a break out
Interestingly, the fact you’re playing an arcade game does get used a little bit. Every now and then you’ll get a glitch in the game in the form of random modifiers that get “patched” about a minute later. You’ll cause more damage or gain…
Hellbreach: Vegas – Putting everything on red
From a mechanical standpoint, this is very similar to Call of Duty Zombies. You start in a small environment with a basic weapon as monsters spawn in. Killing them completes the round and earns you money you can use to buy weapons and perks…
Pinball M – Tommyknockers
Brilliantly, the table comes with a campaign of sorts, setting you challenges over multiple attempts at the machine. These amount to scoring targets within time limits, or surviving a certain amount of time on a single ball, but each one is…
Forest Grove – In grove danger
The setup is at least interesting, with you playing an unnamed investigator entering a digital recreation of the family home. An AI has analysed the house itself and recreated what it’s discovered for you to go in and explore without…
Rough Justice ’84 – Roll with the punches
You play as Jim Baylor, a former police officer who was set up by a corrupt force and sent to prison. Upon your release, you find that the city’s crime has escalated considerably, and you join a friend’s private security company intending…
A Horror Game A Year for the Last Decade – Ten years of terror
Regardless, here you will find a horror game a year for the past decade, along with the occasional honourable mention. You’ll find fewer major releases here, as I’m much keener to shine my torch on something you may have missed, forgotten,…
Criminal Expert – Barely proficient
You play a police detective who is trying to solve the case of a seemingly kidnapped woman appearing in the middle of the road. You’ll find the perpetrators by interviewing people in FMV interrogations, looking through the police database,…
Phantom Galaxies – Ghost of a chance
Enemies glitching around as though they’re at a different frame rate to the rest of the game are more of an issue, and your guns sometimes firing three shots, sometimes one, sometimes not at all are far bigger problems. In fact, during one…
