Welcome one and all, to another one of my bi-annual public therapy sessions. You know, I love videogames. But some games are shit, and playing shit games results in a build-up of negativity - negativity which must be purged in the fires of sick journalistic burns, which I will now vomit out onto the Internet....

Gunfire Reborn is a co-op roguelite-FPS that's been consistently gaining traction online. I don't typically go in for first-person shooters, but I do go in for cute anthropomorphic animals in human clothes, so I figured I would give it a shot. I was pretty impressed by the quality of the game - the guns, the... Continue Reading →
Oh, yeah, this is totally for kids Did you ever watch the film Watership Down as a child? You know, that film from the 80s about fluffy bunnies getting brutally slaughtered by dogs, birds and bigger psycho bunnies, that subtly traumatised an entire generation of kids? Yeah, you know the one. For most British kids,... Continue Reading →
Ever wanted to experience the highs and lows of being a computer programmer, but with cute robots instead of coffee and dimly-lit offices? Today is your lucky day. May I present Autonauts: Age of Enlightenment, developed by Denki Games (presumably with lots of coffee and in a dimly lit office), a resource-management game with a... Continue Reading →
Evoland 2, another random video game I dredged up from the Humble Bundle “Humble Choice” collection for September. Technically, it’s “Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder” - but this is a relaxed corner of the internet, we don’t use Sunday names here. From the outside, Evoland 2 looks to be another fairly... Continue Reading →
Over a year after it’s release in April 2019, the indie survival-craft game Forager has everyone talking again after it’s inclusion in the Humble Bundle’s September Humble Choice bundle - incidentally, that’s where I picked it up from too! I’m a huge fan of the survival-craft genre having sunk more hours into Minecraft and Terraria... Continue Reading →
Coming into 2020, my New Year's Resolution was to break into some franchises that have so far been distinctly missing from my Steam library. One of those franchises was Far Cry. For whatever reason, I sailed through my teens never having played a Far Cry game, and never really wanting to either. In hindsight, this... Continue Reading →
Let me first address the elephant in the room. I am really late to the Witcher 3 craze. About 5 years late to be exact. And I acknowledge that there is absolutely nothing original or insightful left to say about this game, but damn it, that won’t stop me from trying! The amount of hype... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again. A time of laughter, joy, and getting games for £0.99 on Steam. Oh, you thought I meant the season of summer? No, I mean the Summer Sales! (What better time to lock yourself away indoors playing video games, right?) I thought it would be nice to kick off this... Continue Reading →
In August, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, originally released in 2012, is being remastered. I thought now would be a great time to share my thoughts on the title. I found this game in my husbands old PS3 collections, and it caught my attention enough for me to purchase my own copy to play on PC.... Continue Reading →
