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.
Board games are not great for the environment. No matter how much you share, trade, and buy second hand, the market is saturated with huge amounts of processed plastics.
3 Out of 10 Season 2 — Even has a sewer level
The second season begins where the previous one left off, with the team investigating the break in that occurred at the end of the final episode. All the previous cast are present, from bungling CEO Jeb to weird, possibly non-human Pylon.
3 Out of 10 — Not as good at The Witcher 3
The game plays out mostly in cutscenes, interspersed with exploration and mini-games. When exploring, you’ll often need to find a specific item to use or person to speak to by wandering around the small environment you’re currently in.…
Can’t Drive This — Building tracks like Wallace and Gromit
The driver’s job is to drive as far and for as long as possible, without their car exploding due to travelling too slowly, or falling off the track to their death. The builder’s job is to construct the track in real time using square tiles…

Redout: Space Assault — From race to space
There was little room for careful positioning and picking my targets due to the sheer volume of stuff on camera. Off-camera too, as there were a number of times in which I was being attacked from off-screen without me being able to do…
Infernal Radiation — Argent energy this ain’t
You’ll fight demons to free the humans, only to find out what led to them being possessed in the first place. This is what made me question whether this was meant to be a horror game or not. Whilst the atmosphere is dark and horrific, the…
Rob’s 5 Games of the Year
Whilst the likes of Gears Tactics, SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete, and Deadly Premonition 2 all hit the spot, there were still a handful of titles that outdid them. So here we are with my five favourite games of 2020.
Tesla Force — Not an Elon Musk in sight
Stages themselves have a few different objectives, ranging from collecting a set number of items and closing rifts, to destroying spawning points and just plain surviving. There isn’t a huge amount of variety in the tasks, but stages tend…
