Rob Kershaw's Reviews

Co-founder of Jump Dash Roll. I've been gaming since the days of the Amstrad. Huge RPG fan. Planescape: Torment tops my list, but if a game tells a good story, I'm interested. Absolutely not a fanboy of any specific platform - the proof is in the gaming pudding.
5 / 10 - Encodya
Feb 22, 2021

Encodya brings an atmospheric, cyberpunk feel to a well-worn genre, but with a mundane plot and puzzles, it fails to capitalise on its setting.

Super Meat Boy Forever is polished and glitzy, but the gameplay switch-up feels like a backward step from the addictive nature of the first game.

Three great games - plus two potentially great games when played in person - equals one seriously strong chapter of a very polished franchise. Jackbox Party Pack 7 really does have something for everyone.

9 / 10 - CrossCode
Oct 7, 2020

CrossCode is a wonderful throwback to 90s RPGs, meshed with the modern sensibilities, gameplay and story that players expect from today's titles. Old-school Zelda fans will adore it, as will anyone who loves a satisfying blend of action and narrative.

8 / 10 - Inmost
Aug 26, 2020

Haunting and striking in equal measure, Inmost strikes a balance between narrative and platform-puzzler that mostly succeeds for the entirety of its short running time.

8 / 10 - Creaks
Aug 7, 2020

Familiar puzzle-platform staples are polished to a high sheen in Creaks. It might not break new ground in the genre, but no-one can tell a wordless story quite like Amanita Design.

8 / 10 - Superliminal
Jul 15, 2020

Superliminal will challenge and confound but never punish. Pillow Castle's debut is inventive and occasionally mind-boggling, a short but engaging feast for fans of optical illusions and lateral thinking.

7 / 10 - A Fold Apart
May 27, 2020

A Fold Apart is a short, touching puzzler with a timely message at its heart.

A lovingly animated and clever point-and-click which, despite issues with pacing and signposting, is still likely to capture many hearts.

Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it's riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.

Short, sweet and clunky, Assemble With Care has a wholesome message at its core, but the compromises made in porting its controls to PC mean that the mobile version is the recommended choice, assuming you have an Apple device.

Kentucky Route Zero is a maddeningly obscure visual novel, both beautifully dull and mundanely fascinating. It will no doubt split opinion, but if you enjoy an abundance of metaphor and some quirky introspection, it will definitely tick your boxes.

Wolves is a short, satisfying final chapter for a beloved series and one which will please all but the most hard-hearted gamers.

7 / 10 - She Sees Red
Jan 15, 2020

The execution sometimes falls a little short but for a first project you have to commend the effort and vision; the developers are right to view it as an area of untapped potential. Whether or not it’s the future of TV remains to be seen, but we could stand to have a few more experiments of this nature.

Unevenly paced and peppered with bugs, Fallen Order demands a lot up front before it reveals its hand. At that point, a thoroughly decent Star Wars adventure unfolds... but patient, you must be.

An uneven selection of party titles which, while polished, doesn't have a killer game in its bundle to make it a must-have purchase.

10 / 10 - Disco Elysium
Oct 24, 2019

Wordy, involving and whip-smart, Disco Elysium is a tremendous achievement which deserves to be held up as the new template for story-driven RPGs.

7 / 10 - Control
Sep 25, 2019

Solid action-adventure chops and a super central gameplay gimmick just about smooth over Control's rough edges. If you ignore the story and focus on the combat, you'll have a great time.

6 / 10 - The Sojourn
Sep 19, 2019

The Sojourn is a competent and technically apt puzzler, but one which feels oddly empty.

7 / 10 - Fracter
Sep 5, 2019

While it leaves many questions unanswered, Fracter is nonetheless a moody and polished port of a mobile puzzle game.
