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.
The concept here is simple enough. Your train will emerge from the red tunnel, and your job is to create a path for it to reach the blue tunnel whilst going to each train station along the route. The level is made up of hexes, some of which…
Ash of Gods: The Way – This is The Way
When you’re not having conversations and making choices, you’re taking part in battles. The gameplay itself is predominantly a card based game. Your deck of twenty cards contains ten units and ten support cards. You play units to the…
Remedium: Sentinels – Zombie survivors
The gameplay is pretty much what you’d expect from the genre. Monsters rush at you whilst your character automatically fires their weapons at the nearest enemy. You just need to focus on movement to get a better position and avoid damage.…
The Library of Babel – Lost in translation
You’ll spend a lot of time jumping and grabbing ledges though, and most of the time this works well enough. Far too often though, Ludovik simply won’t grab a ledge, or jumps straight up instead of onto a box, or occasionally doesn’t jump at…
Mia and the Dragon Princess – Trash or treasure?
The act of actually playing through Mia and the Dragon Princess can feel a bit odd though. The pacing and tone are often bizarrely off-kilter from one moment to the next. MI5 agent Bennie can be making classically British quips only to be…
Vampire Survivors: Tides of the Foscari DLC – Last vamp standing
Tides of the Foscari starts out in pretty much the same way as Legacy of the Moonspell, with you having access to a new level. The green, tree-filled Lake Foscari area has you attacked by a number of nature themed foes, from caterpillars to…
Death Roads: Tournament – Card drive
I really liked these systems. They felt interesting and opened up all sorts of possibilities depending on the cards you have access to. You can change your cards as you play, not by adding cards to your deck, but by changing the attachments…
Crux: The Great Outdoors – CRUX TERMINATUS!
You very quickly find out that you can only hold on to certain handholds for so long, meaning you need to move and plan quickly. Suddenly, this is a fast paced puzzle game, as you need to work out how to get to the next checkpoint and make…
Shattered Heaven Demo – No Stairway?!
So the gameplay is really fun, the story is interesting in its own way, and all this is supported by wonderful art and great sound and voice work. The art in particular is worthy of mention as it’s absolutely gorgeous, giving me The House…
OTXO – Wolf at the door
The story is seemingly bonkers, with you travelling on the train with your beloved, only to find a mask on the floor which you obviously put on. The next thing you know, you awaken on a beach in front of a huge mansion and are informed that…
