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.

Paratopic – Interface

Rob Covell Jun 4, 2022 0

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!

Rob Covell May 26, 2022 0

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

Rob Covell May 16, 2022 0

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

Rob Covell May 7, 2022 0

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

Rob Covell May 1, 2022 0

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…

Onde — How do you pronounce that?

Rob Covell Apr 28, 2022 0

The sheer amount of fascinating shapes and colours that will appear ahead of you during your journey is amazing. Over the course of your three-or-so hours with the game, you’ll visit underwater worlds, lands in the sky, and a black hole in…

Splash Cars — Making a splash, or a terrible crash?

Rob Covell Apr 23, 2022 0

The police will try to smash you off the road, making your life more difficult whilst other road users will undo your good work by turning the road grey again. In a neat twist though, if you drive near them, they’ll become colourful too,…

The Best FMV Games

Rob Covell Apr 13, 2022 0

The likes of Phantasmagoria, The 11th Hour, and Night Trap weren’t really all that great, and were more of an experiment now that developers had all this capacity on new-fangled CD-ROMs. So they’d fill them up with video and build a game…

Frightence — Is that a word?

Rob Covell Mar 29, 2022 0

Individual rooms are somewhat unique, each with its own event that seems to be unrelated to what’s come before. There are spooky children’s rooms, abodes for a stereotypical cat lady, and even a PT homage. I think the items you collect from…

Martha is Dead — Or is she?

Rob Covell Mar 24, 2022 0

Without spoiling too much, Martha is Dead focuses on Guilia’s attempt to find out precisely what happened to her sister, whilst also trying to come to terms with her loss, and the events of the war that play out around her. All is not as it…
