Currently Playing – Curse of the Dead Gods

In the past couple of weeks, when I've found myself with a short amount of time for gaming, I've returned to a comforting, familiar place. That place is Curse of the Dead Gods. Time and time again over the years since I reviewed the game for release, I've returned to the cursed temple to take on it's remaining challenges and edge ever close to the coveted Platinum trophy. The Game That Sparked A Fire Curse of the Dead Gods was the first roguelike that I ever played, I'd not paid the genre any mind previously. The art direction looked great, and the combat seemed crunchy and quick, so I picked it up for review. I was instantly hooked on the premise of starting with very little power, progressing little by little through a gauntlet, and gradually upgrading various aspects to try different ...

Currently Playing – Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix

Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns. I am a Fortnite Noob. At least when it comes to playing the game. I have watched people play it and loved every minute. I am also that not at all annoying person yelling I can see someone running, whilst my partner sprints about the map escaping storm after storm. Having never been much good at dual stick gaming for accessibility reasons, I never thought I'd get to enjoy the game first-hand. My only previous dalliance with the game was when my partner and I decided to stream us playing it together. Even then I found much more joy in driving off in golf carts then aiming for that precious Victory Crown. And then Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix came about. A short sweet season that changed everything.

Red Dead Redemption – PC Review

It's time to get back in the saddle and take up John Marston's reins. Red Dead Redemption has finally made its way to PC. Rockstar's second adventure in the wild west initially released in May 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and received critical acclaim. Undead Nightmare was released a few months later as an expansion on the original story which featured John Marston fighting against the hoards of undead as they tried to take over the West and Mexico. Controversially, I loved the first Red Dead Redemption more than its sequel. It had me gripped from the start and had one of the best online multiplayer systems ever, the online in the second game doesn't even come close. Add in Undead Nightmare - probably one of the best DLCs of all time, if you ask me - and it was an all round p...

Windblown is an action, roguelite game developed by Motion Twin and published by Kepler Ghost. Motion Twin created the hit game Dead Cells, which is another game that I've invested several hundred hours. Most of that making some insane builds of course.

With the intro out of the way, let's head to the eye of the storm and see how Windblown has treated me. Sudden Death is just another life lesson Gameplay Windblown is a game about the peaceful inhabitants of The Ark, a floating village orbiting around the gigantic and deadly Vortex. However that deadly Vortex is, as you can imagine, not so peaceful. The only chance The Ark has is for you to become a ...

Voidwrought – PC Review

Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns Voidwrought is an action, adventure, metroidvania that was developed by Powersnake and published by Kwalee. This game is Powersnake's first project and which was previously announced back in 2021. You can follow their development progression on their twitter profile. Seeing from where they started to how they improved and finished the game is impressive in my eyes. With the success of Voidwrought, I hope they continue to improve and make another game. Because honestly, I do want to see another game from this studio. Honestly, if this is what being in a cult is like, then it'll have me leaning on a fence. So, grab your faux goats and sacrificial daggers because we're going to drink the kool-aid into...
