REVIEW: 'Journey'


To long-time console gamers, independent games are a rarity. Whilst 'Triple A' used to denote quality, now it simply means: 'available on consoles.' This means that when a game comes along that doesn't have an army of people behind it and doesn't have enough money to send every African to university thrown at it then it's naturally praised. Meanwhile, PC gamers are more weary of independent gaming; particularly in this dark age of Early Access. We're also in general more spoilt by such a vast library of games available to us, whilst console games these days are expected to conform to a specific formula. Steam also offers a platform where both Just Cause 3 and Undertale can sit side-by-side as equals.

REVIEW: 'The Last Of Us - Left Behind'


Last week I reviewed The Last Of Us, and I still stand by my criticism. I think the gameplay itself is messy, and the plot doesn't acknowledge the monsters we're playing as. In fact, I'm annoyed that no-one's really debating me; since I by no means think that people who love the game are wrong. You can easily argue that we're supposed to feel this distance from the characters and look at the whole thing objectively. Also, if the gameplay adopted a more immersive, free approach a-la Half Life 2 then we probably wouldn't have got such excellent character development. Convince me, someone! I want to like this game!

REVIEW: 'The Last Of Us' (Remastered)


Remember 2013? It was that awkward time when the 7th Generation was dying yet a handful of games were trying to make this last gasp count. There was BioShock Infinite, The Stanley Parable, Grand Theft Auto V, Papers Please, Saints Row 4, Assassins Creed 4, Tomb Raider - I don't even like all of these games; but at least they were interesting!
