Okay, so first off, I never played any of the original Zero Escape games. I may have tried the demo for Virtue’s Last Reward on 3DS but that’s as far as my experience with this series goes. What this means is I’m not in the best place to make any sort of comparisons to the […]

Truth be told, I wasn’t even aware that Momodora was a series until I started looking up developer and publisher info for tags to add to this review. I’m saying this upfront because I have no clue how fans of the series might receive Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. I can only look at it […]

As with anyone who likes video games, I have a tendency to place more importance on some elements than others. It’s a good day when I get to play something that ticks two or three boxes on my list of Stuff Rob Thinks is The Best ™, and there have been way more games than […]

Horizon: Zero Dawn is the sort of game that I knew I had to play the moment I saw it. That initial E3 reveal was scripted, I’m sure, but the look and concept were all I needed to be like “Oh yes. Oh yes this will do nicely.” I mean it’s a game about hunting […]

Going in, I knew it would be impossible for The Last Guardian to meet expectations. This is a game that’s meant to stand with fan favorites Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, which is no small task even for a project that hasn’t been in development (hell) for close to a decade. I knew it […]

Son of a… okay, okay, first thing’s first. Lara Croft Go is a good game at its core. A great game, in fact. I beat it in its entirety when it first came out on mobile devices, and I was happy to see how it might do on a bigger (I mean physically larger) system. […]

Farming Simulator is the sort of series that I never understood until I was finally able to play it for the first time a couple of years back. I still don’t understand the fervor behind brand-name farm equipment or the interest anyone has in buying DLC packs that add new kinds of hardware that don’t […]

The original XCOM – I’m talking about Enemy Unknown in this case, not UFO Defense – was a spectacular reimagining of my all time favorite strategy game that cut out all the unnecessary bits and polished up all the awesome stuff to make, arguably, another all time great. The enhanced version that was Enemy Within […]

At first I was reluctant when everybody kept telling me to check out Attack on Titan. Then a friend made me sit down and watch the first episode and I just didn’t get it. After a while I decided to give the series another shot, and I’m glad I did because, as it turns out, […]

Dear Flame Over, I’m writing to let you know that you drive me nuts, crazy, insane, freaking mental, and other similar expressions. You’re so cute, cartoony, and unassuming, but I know the real you. Beneath that goofy exterior is a monstrously difficult roguelike. It just so happens to be about fighting fires in an office […]

Dear PlayStation Vita, We’ve had a bit of a wild history, haven’t we? I spent a lot of time hanging out with your older sibling, the PSP, but despite all the fun we would have things always felt a bit limited. After a while it just became my Monster Hunter machine. This was also around […]

Dear Helldivers, I knew I was going to have fun with you right form the beginning. The first screen of the intro pretty much cemented it. In other words, you had me at “Super-Earth.” But it’s more than just having fun, really. I think we’ve got something special here. I mean you are made by […]
