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.
Rather than being a direct remake of the two games, Layers of Fear tries to tie the events of these games together. This rerelease of sorts wraps the games into an overarching narrative of a writer who has been sent to an isolated…
A Building Full of Cats – Hello Kitty
There are roughly fifty cats on each floor, many of which are easy to spot, but with a good number that will require a more thorough scouring of the environment. Each one is a fairly simple design, but this feels deliberate so that they…
Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition – Gotta go fast!
The afterburner is great fun when you’re flying through tight tunnels, as you reach Ludicrous Speed instantly, resulting in you hurtling along and probably pinballing off the walls as you go.
No One Lives Under the Lighthouse – Solitude
Items aren’t where you left them, machines are mysteriously damaged, and something keeps knocking on doors. I can’t go into too much detail for fear of spoiling a lot of what happens, but suffice to say that you rapidly descend into…
Sunday Gold – Style over substance
The characters are great fun as well. Sally’s tough but calm demeanour comes across in great contrast to Gavin’s skittish, panicky nature. They come across like over-the-top cockney caricatures, and for the most part, are very well written…
Under the Warehouse – What the hell is going on?
At its core, Under the Warehouse is a puzzle game where you need to find the appropriate items to unlock the next area and move forward. Interestingly, nothing is explained to you and you have no objective markers, meaning you have to…
Diablo IV – Hell of a time
Combat is as satisfying as ever, and with the much tighter camera angle, things feel significantly more visceral. Strikes from all sides look suitably vicious, and spells and powers pop off all over the screen, wiping out swarms of lesser…
Darkest Dungeon 2 – Misty Mountain
Combat works in the same way as it did before, with your four heroes taking on up to four enemies. Position in your party matters, as certain attacks can only be used if you are on the front line, whilst others require a character to be in…
Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – Orks
Whilst there are a few other units for you to choose from here, I feel that there are a few really missed opportunities. I certainly wouldn’t expect every model from the tabletop to be included, but the lack of Squighog Boyz feels like a…
Sudocats – We missed you hissed Sudocats
In Sudocats, the numbers are replaced with cute cartoon cats, with you needing to do the same as regular sudoku, but with different pictures. There’s an option to change the pictures into numbers if you want, but I feel that kind of defeats…
