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.
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…
Slender: The Arrival (2023) – Looks Unreal
The issue here is that due to it being the same game, everything that was irritating about the original is still there too. Those things that made for entertaining Youtuber bait a decade ago aren’t really as much fun to play anymore. If…
Stuffed – Not a complete turkey
In real terms, Stuffed plays an awful lot like Call of Duty Zombies but in a procedurally generated map. Each attempt, and indeed each night, takes place in a slightly different version of the house, with Ellie’s room in a different place…
Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting – Among Sus
You’ll want to make your way around the map quickly at times too, as occasional tasks will pop up that need to be completed in a time limit, much like the game this DLC is based on. These tasks simply want you to reach a certain spot on the…
Rob’s Top 5 Games of 2023
Yes, folks, we’re back! Thank you for being patient whilst we dealt with that unpleasantness just now. We told Lara to lay off the scotch. Multiple times. We’d like to apologise to Kratos and assure him that we’ll cover his medical bills...
Wildshade: Unicorn Champions – Unikart
Mechanically, this is even simpler than Mario Kart, which likely is due to its mobile game roots. There’s no accelerating here, with your steed hurtling off right from the start and automatically jumping over small obstacles. Amusingly, the…
PowerA Lumectra – Controlling colours
Then there are the lights, which are well positioned and have a huge array of colour options split across four zones on the controller, meaning that with enough tinkering you could probably create a unique look. Interestingly, this model…
Bluey The Videogame – Ah, biscuits!
Most of your time in the game is spent walking around an environment to find a character or object so the story progresses, playing the occasional mini-game as you go. It’s nice enough, and means it’s very accessible to younger kids who…
PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch – Master Sword
This controller works well on both Nintendo Switch and PC, even though the box only mentions working on Switch. This being a Nintendo-licensed product means that the button and stick layout are identical to the wireless pro controller, with…
