Hollow Knight is one of all time favourite gaming experiences. I adore the melancholy aesthetics that permeate all parts of the game. From the incredible mournful soundtrack, through to the bleak world design. It all comes together to make Hallownest feel like a real place and I became totally lost ...

It's not common for me to hate any video game, but I do feel a strong sense of hatred for the Lego games that I've played. Normally if I dislike a game I just don't play it again but I have a small child who loves Lego, general pop-culture, and as a result the Lego games. So I'm stuck playing them w...

Hi guys, I know this is a bit out of date and I'm sorry to bring up Darren's Diddygate masturbation story again but I just wanted to show some solidarity. I have my own sordid video game related tale of a first encounter with Madame Palm and her 5 lovely daughters. I must be a similar age to Darren ...

Ghost of Tsushima is without a doubt the most visually spectacular video game I've ever played. I've played some native PS5 games since getting one at launch, and even though GoT is obviously a PS4 game the extra detail present in those games cannot beat the sheer artistry on display from Sucker Pun...

Like a lot of the other contributors, I really liked Doom 2016. I played most of it on the train on my Switch (with my pro controller!) and I had a blast playing a couple of hours each day during my commute. Doom Eternal has been a different story, as I've bounced off it after playing the first 4 le...

Hi guys, this is a bit late but I just wanted to say a big thanks for everything you've put out in 2020. You've been an ever present companion through these strange times, soothing me while I attempt to temper the boredom of not seeing people by doing DIY, going for long runs, and walking the dog. I...

I missed Resident Evil 3 back in the day as it came out shortly before the Dreamcast, which I picked up on launch, and I was dreaming of Code Veronica's amazing (i.e. drab and grey) 3D environments. This means I have absolutely no nostalgia for the game as I did with the stellar RE 2 remake (which i...

I played Pokemon Yellow in the futuristic year of 2000 as a plucky 14 year old who had just started wearing baggy jeans and listening to nu-metal & hip hop. The reason I mention that is because I must have bought Eminem's Marshall Mather's LP shortly before playing it, as my main memories of the...

I guess I'm going to be going against the grain here when I say I didn't particularly like this game. I was initially wowed by it. The graphics, the city traversal and the bright and exciting overall feel of the game blew me away for a couple of hours after first picking it up. But after that initia...

Mario Odyssey is a wonderful, joyful, gaming experience. It's the first to really hearken back to Mario 64 and give players a place to just...muck about in. I loved the potential in each level as I moved on to each one, picking at the edges and exploring and trying to find the more obvious moons. Ev...
