Classic adventure game with a nice variety of mechanics and a fun “real-time” element. The ant shooting can get fiddly and frustrating but it doesn’t detract from the overall enjoyment.

Great little shooter. The amount of variety in the controls considering it uses just one button is really fun. I like how you press up and down to throw a grenade for example. Add a second player and it becomes a riot.

First time playing through the original Yakuza. It's fun to see how much was already present from the get go. Great time spent with Kiryu as always.

In Dredge, you play a fisherman in a world plagued with lovecraftian horrors. During the day you spend your time fishing and upgrading your boat to improve your fishing but if you get stuck out at sea during the night, you have to deal with horrors hiding in the fog and your fisherman losing his sanity. The gameplay loop is really satisfying and the various ways to fish are fun. You spend your time looking for rare fishes and completing quests for the villagers living in the islands you travel around

Wonderful atmosphere and incredible climbing controls. You really feel like you are actively climbing those mountains. Chapter 5 is so breathtaking, it's easily one of my favourite gaming moments this year.

Really relaxing game with beautiful graphics. Rowing around islands in the storm, in the artic or deep in the jungles just looks amazing.

The campaign was really fun until the final section where the story went out of the window which is a shame as it had great pacing and interesting character development until then. Outside of the campaign, the season-based invasion 'board game' is adddictive and reminded me of Soul Calibur 2's missions.

In a year packed with amazing games, Alan Wake 2 has climbed to the top to become my Game of the year. The game is bonkers, full of creative ideas and absolute gorgeous to boot. It swings for the fences and delivers. It's creepy, atmospheric, scary, goofy, laugh out loud funny at times but mostly totally far too pretentious and up its own arse and I'm here for it all.

Fantastic little puzzler with gorgeous art style and a unique gameplay loop where you can teleport between different worlds that are in spheres that you can carry around. It's very trippy but very statisfying.
2021
Innovative use of blinking and closing your eyes as game mechanics and a thoughtful story that brought tears to my eyes with a one-two gut punch at the end. Shame it's very short and doesn't have much replayability.
As amazing as I'd hoped. It's as fun as the first one with improved side quests. Even the Mary Jane stealth sections are fun this time around. The web swinging / web wings combo is now my favourite traversal mechanics ever. My only complaint is that the best set piece is right at the start and no other set piece tops it for the rest of the game.
As a Dragon Ball fan, I had to give this a go when it arrived on PS Plus. It was more fun than I'd expected but still a very shallow copy of Dead By Daylight without enough variety to hold my interest for long once I'd seen all the different raiders.
2020
One of the best VR games I've ever played. Each course is incredibly fun and they keep releasing more and more outlandish courses every couple of months.
2022
Just as funny and heartfelt as the first one. I got really attached to the main cast after 2 games spent with them. Anyone who likes a good coming of age story should place this series. It's totally free even on IOS.
2014
Fun little Visual Novel with tons of replay ability as you choose different paths to travel around the world. There's also some strategy as quicker journeys to travel longer distances can cost more money and you can also carry items to trade for more cash as you go round. All in all, highly recommended.
