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.
I really liked how the action selection element of Tiny Epic Pirates worked, as you always had plenty of choices to make and a variety of ways to earn money. Moving quickly around the wheel allows you to do exactly what you want if you’re…
Merchants of Infinity – To infinity and beyond!
All this may sound a little complicated, but for each game I’ve played with different groups, everyone managed to get to grips with play by the end of the first round. The board looks busy, but most things are fairly clear, and whilst you…
My Little Pony : A Maretime Bay Adventure – Horsing around
Right from the off, this game feels very similar to Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay, with a 3D field to explore, and stars to collect. My Little Pony does things a little differently though. Rather than individual levels to…
RICO London – More linear than a Call of Duty campaign
RICO London removes pretty much everything I liked from its predecessor.
I really rather enjoyed RICO, the 2019 roguelike first person shooter. Your cop, with a friend in tow if you wished, would choose missions to take on in apartments,…
Model Builder – Build, paint, and sell minis, but don’t play with…
A game of this type isn’t likely to have an enormous audience due to its niche subject matter, but the developers have made something that could be enjoyed quite easily by someone who isn’t all that interested in the hobby. Whilst it won’t…
Paratopic – Interface
It’s Lynchian levels of madness, even over the game’s very short run time of under an hour. If you like shows such as Twin Peaks and Chanel Zero, where the plot is very engaging without always being very clear, then this is something that…
The House of the Dead Remake — Reload! Reload! Reload!
It controls about as well as you might expect a light gun game to when using a controller. The likes of Blue Estate have shown that games like this can work well enough without a lightgun, but I feel that The House of The Dead Remake…
Roguebook — The sequel to thief pamphlet
With all this said, it’s nice that Roguebook does enough to differentiate itself from the pack, with characters having wildly different cards that can be used, and the ability to attach gems to cards to change their utility. There’s also…
Weird West — Wiki wiki Weird, Weird West
The gameplay itself reminds me very much of classic Fallout games, or Desperados if you remember that wild west adventure. You’ll move around an over world map by selecting where to go before exploring your destination. There are towns,…
Backbone — No need to worry about slipping a disc
Arriving in a stylish and well-presented box, there’s very little to tell you what to do beyond a small card showing how to connect your phone. Attach your phone to the lightning port on the right side, pull apart the handgrips, and release…
