A Gummy’s Life: Juicy Fruit
Human Fall Flat brought me into the world of the physics platforming genre with its flimsy, rubbery, and awkward player-controlled character taking on various physics-based puzzles.

Red Dead Online Is Great, But It Often Feels Like A Chore
Red Dead Online is a fantastic game. I’ve written loads of guides and articles about it already. I think I played the game every single day for all of February this year. When it went on sale for £4 as a standalone game, loads of my mates who didn’t have Red Dead Redemption 2 picked […]

Bravely Default 2: I Cannot Decide If I Love Or Loathe The Number Of Jobs
Never have I been so conflicted on how to feel about an aspect of a video game. I have plenty of positive, negative, and neutral takes spanning across numerous genres and games, but I cannot for the life of me decide where I fall on the number of jobs in Bravely Default 2. For context, […]
How Limp Bizkit Helped Create One Of The Best WrestleMania Matches Ever
The Attitude Era remains one of the finest periods in wrestling history. It was juvenile, daring, and beautifully unpredictable. Each week of programming brought with it new developments and surprises that threw conventional rules out of the window, one of the many reasons why it remains so memorable. This period saw larger-than-life stars emerge in […]

Atelier Ryza 2 Shows That Not All JRPGs Need To Save The World
Saving the world is exhausting. It’s something we’re often tasked with in the realm of video games. Protecting millions of lives from certain destruction is the height of heroic accomplishment, so it makes perfect sense that JRPGs want to express this otherworldly fantasy again and again. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve saved […]
