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 - Firework
Jan 18, 2022

Firework's initially creepy premise and relatively engaging puzzles soon give way to a confusing plot that suffers from poor localisation.

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.

5 / 10 - Vane
Jan 22, 2019

While visually impressive at times, Vane suffers from an unclear purpose and far too many technical issues to recommend it.

5 / 10 - Wordhunters
Dec 20, 2018

Unexciting and uninspired, Wordhunters struggles to bring anything new or fun to the party game genre.

Cosmic Top Secret is let down by rudimentary and frustrating gameplay which stifles some otherwise fine investigative journalism.

A bizarre twist in Burning Bridges undoes everything you've achieved so far and reduces both the plot and your investment in The Council to ashes.

Brilliantly conceived but sloppily executed, The Occupation's potential as an immersive detective sim suffers from too many technical problems to recommend it.

A disappointing foray into sex horror which does nothing interesting with either genre.

A finale as uneven as the series itself; a few highlights and more meaningful outcomes to earlier choices are offset by Telltale's usual problems of pacing and gameplay mechanics.

A flawed episode, but one which is finally getting the series back on track. At this stage though, we have to wonder whether it's too little, too late.

6 / 10.0 - Tokyo Dark
Nov 3, 2017

A flawed but brave take on a traditional genre, and one which oozes enough atmosphere to keep you playing until the credits.

6 / 10.0 - Observer
Oct 18, 2017

A beautifully realised and often harrowing cyberpunk tale let down by repetition and gameplay which is both simple and frustrating in equal measure.

Humour and pacing is sacrificed for a delve into Rocket's past, but even that cannot sustain a lacklustre storyline.

Inoffensive JRPG fodder that would have benefitted from a true remake rather than a lacklustre port.

A new IP which offers some great laughs and a fresh coat of paint, but not a whole lot more.

A disappointing finale for a series that started out with huge potential, but which fails to tie up any loose ends satisfactorily.

Telltale's poor fourth episode run continues, but delivers the potential of a solid series ending.

6 / 10.0 - The Little Acre
Dec 29, 2016

A wonderfully animated but disappointingly short adventure, which nevertheless points to a promising future for its creators.

A step back for the series, but still an enjoyable couple of hours despite the flaws.

A colourful, often hilarious RPG-lite adventure, crippled by a tedious and frustrating combat system.
