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.
What doesn’t keep you guessing so much is the gameplay itself, which handles in pretty much the same way as its inspiration. Light and heavy attacks, parries, dodge rolls, and stamina bars do exactly what you expect. There are a few things…

When controlling Luka, you explore the titular town of Beacon Pines, getting into trouble with your friends, and potentially uncovering that mystery about the town. You’ll be talking to townsfolk, investigating points of interest, and…
Metal: Hellsinger – The devil has all the best tunes
Over the course of the game’s three-or-so hour campaign, you’ll acquire shotguns, pistols, an explosive crossbow, and throwing blades to add to your basic sword and skull blast options. Each weapon really does feel unique, but other than…
Cartomancy Anthology contains so many games!
22 cards for 22 games. Cartomancy Anthology certainly provides more than a booster pack’s worth of content.
Although uncommon, anthology games are an interesting species. Containing multiple games based on a common theme from a number of…
Hard West 2 – West Harder
Whenever you enter combat, you’ll need to pick four members of your posse to go in guns blazing as well as their equipment and cards — more on this later — and then it’s into those XCOM style battles. There’s partial and full cover,…
