The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III Review    A couple of years back, I was positively surprised by then newly released a RPG title built by NeocoreGames. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing went through many iterations, only to finally turn into a classical, albeit incredibly well-built hack ‘n’ slash set in the universe of Van Helsing. Exactly one year later, a follow-up was...[Read More]

Sunset Review   Slow, immersive games may be one of my favourite types to play. Something character driven with an engaging story, and a level of immersion that makes me forget who I am for a while. When I first saw the trailer for Sunset, a game set during the 1970’s rebellion in Central America, I was beyond excited. The game had the interesting premise of being set in one apartment; you’r...[Read More]

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review   Let’s get this straight, right off the bat – for me, The Witcher 3 blows Inquisition out of the water in every possible respect. It is, by far, the better game in virtually every way, and I enjoy my time with it immensely while I can’t help but cringe at some features of Inquisition. With that said, it’s only natural that different opinions will arise; I...[Read More]

Stronghold 2 The Emperor And The Hermit Review   When it comes to tackling DLC, most game developers take the easy route, as it was set up by Bethesda back in the day, with their ever-so- successful Horse Armour. Some, on the other hand, try to release additional content for free, CDPR being one of the most prominent devs taking this approach. Naturally, things are never black and white to the f...[Read More]

Epanalepsis Review   Imagine a story that is set in an unknown time, unknown place and in unknown circumstances. Now imagine a promise that information about the place will be revealed at the end of a long journey and the information will provide clarity about the unknown parts of a story. Finally, conceptualize the end of the journey, however, the details of the story are still unknown, shroude...[Read More]

Technobabylon Review   “Technobabylon”. I like it. It instantly makes me think of a sci-fi, robot-fuelled battleground full of advanced technology and weapons. That would have been a better name for Titanfall. Or Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. However, Technobabylon will have you doing very little fighting, and instead searching around the room for small items of interest you may have misse...[Read More]

Kerbal Space Program Review   You remove your eyes from the controls, just long enough to capture the immense heat outside of your window. You return your intense gaze to all the levers controlling your pitch, yaw and roll; your finger ready to detach the booster rockets. As you finally break through the friction of the planet’s atmosphere, your eyes adjust revealing the Mun. You’ve taken a ...[Read More]
