Takenoko Review
A long time ago, in an Imperial Court far, far away (unless you’re reading this in Japan, of course)… Diplomatic relations between Japan and China are finally on the mend after a long period of civil unrest.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review
First introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, the rich lore of the Witcher series immediately gained my admiration and respect. With a deep, detailed world, fully realised characters, and exceptional story, it provided a lore ripe for video game adaptation. CD Projeckt Red took on this task and not only managed to encompass the lore and “feel” of the books – they made two...[Read More]
Robots & Rockets Review
Every so often, I chance upon a game whose simplistic appearance belies its strategic potential – where simple yet well implemented mechanics make for an experience both enjoyable to play and strategically enticing.

Crypt of the NecroDancer Review
After more than a year in Steam’s early access program Crypt of the Necrodancer has finally been released. I must admit – reviewing Crypt of the NecroDancer was more difficult than I originally anticipated. Not because I had writer’s block, or trouble describing the mechanics – purely because, after playing a game that trains you to press keys to a beat, it’s quite ha...[Read More]
