Well, that’s it. Game of Thrones is over after eight years, and I don’t blame you if Game of Thrones season 8 leaves a slightly bad taste in your mouth. While it has its good moments, most of this season is simply too rushed, with characters taking minutes to make …

Well, that’s it. Game of Thrones is over after eight years, and I don’t blame you if Game of Thrones season 8 leaves a slightly bad taste in your mouth. While it has its good moments, most of this season is simply too rushed, with characters taking minutes to make …

A Plague Tale: Innocence might be centered around a relatively adorable little boy, but it is grim. Telling the story of two siblings: the teenage Amicia and her five-year-old brother Hugo as they struggle to find a cure for Hugo’s mysterious illness, it’s a linear puzzle-stealth game which follows the …
Read More »Days Gone review: “A scrappy but satisfying adventure”
I have been on a journey with Days Gone. Both in terms of the hero, Deacon St. John’s, life, and the game itself – a rambling tale of zombie killing in an open world that can easily top 60 hours if you want to see everything. It’s a scrappy but …

Read More »American Gods S2.02 review: “A disjointed, uneven thread that only just salvages itself”
Episode 2’s title is The Beguiling Man, but American Gods can’t seem to decide which beguiling man in particular to focus on. Whereas American Gods season 2, episode 1, for all its flaws, got all the Old Gods in one place, the second episode of the series is split between …
Read More »American Gods S2.01 review: “Dragged its heels re-explaining what had gone on”
American Gods is back for its second season, and after the first one ended with a bang – or, more accurately, a famine – season 2 picks up rather predictably with Shadow (Ricky Whittle) on the road once more with Mr Wednesday (Ian McShane), accompanied by the still very dead …
Read More »Trials Rising review: “Pulling myself away from the handlebars is always a struggle”
Trials Rising has this uncanny ability to alter your perception of time. When you’re trying to get your motorcycle across the finish line as fast as possible, jockeying for leaderboard superiority against friends or speedy strangers, a few seconds can feel like an impossible amount of time to shave off …
Read More »Star Trek Discovery S2.06 review: “Should have played out over multiple episodes”
Star Trek Discovery season 2 (opens in new tab) continues its ongoing mission to fill out the backstory of its more secondary characters with episode 6, The Sound of Thunder, which is all about Saru (Doug Jones). But while it’s nice to see that Saru’s story won’t just be relegated …
Read More »Far Cry New Dawn review: “Pushing Far Cry’s survivalist formula further than it’s ever been”
Hope County has got thoroughly shafted by life, if you ask me. First in Far Cry 5 (opens in new tab) its inhabitants survive a psychopathic cult leader and his cronies straight-up drugging the water supply and brainwashing innocent civilians, then when it just starts to look like they’re finally …
