Rob Kershaw's Reviews
This War of Mine is possibly something many gamers *should* experience for a few hours, but would they enjoy any part of it? That’s a completely different question.
Reigns has a unique blend of humour and game mechanics which are perfectly suited to mobile play. It is accessible enough to dip in and out of, but once you’ve played through it a couple of times, you’ll have seen pretty much everything it has to offer. That said, for those few hours, Reigns is definitely worth swiping right for.
A poor ending to the weakest season to date, bogged down with inconsistent characterisation and a plot that ignores or discards many key threads.
Magic 2015 may not be on the level of Dungeon Keeper in terms of its attempts to squeeze your bank balance, but it does itself no favours either. Do yourself one instead: if you're thinking of investing in a digital Magic experience, get last year's instalment and avoid this soulless excuse for a game.
Alone in the Dark is a scare-free horror experience, rife with technical issues, a nonsensical plot, and lacklustre performances from its two notable stars.
If you want to spend a couple of hours pacing back and forth between screens filled with identically speaking characters and a dreary story, Skaramazuzu will tick your box. For everyone else, it's a game which looks far better than it plays.
Chronique des Silencieux has the makings of a decent detective game, but bugs, localisation issues and a stubbornly rigid set of puzzle mechanics hobble it from the outset. Elementary, this is not.
A rushed, muddled, bug-ridden mess of a point-and-click. The Council dropped off a cliff in its penultimate episode and ends with a limp, unsatisfying thud in its finale.
A basic platform-puzzle game which confuses as often as it frustrates.
Another mediocre entry in a series that really should be anything but dull, The only thing we're feeling here is ennui.
What should have been an ramp up in excitement for the finale descends into dull, familiar tropes with bizarre characterisation.
A pedestrian episode which does little to shake the feeling that the series is in dire need of a shake-up.
A disappointing finale to an underwhelming series.
A low point for the series, both in gameplay and narrative cohesion.
Despite its polish, System Rift is a disappointing exercise in ennui, offering very little new or interesting over its two-hour playing time.
Not good but not awful, The Technomancer serves more as a showcase for the future potential of Spiders than a game worth playing on its own merit.
There is potential here, but Murder is too brief to be satisfying.
An emotionless take on the genre, with little but its reliance on nostalgia to sustain its brief running time.
A potentially beautiful game, crippled by an awful camera, archaic controls, and bizarre, frustrating gameplay.
Firework's initially creepy premise and relatively engaging puzzles soon give way to a confusing plot that suffers from poor localisation.
