They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and in Polaroid most of those words are screams of terror. Well, at least for the characters in this tries-to-be-high concept horror. For the rest of us watching this sodden fright-by-numbers affair, the words of choice are "Urgh", "Come on" and "Why would you do that? This is so dumb!".

It’s difficult for me to remain objective in this review, let’s get that out of the way right now. Dragon Quest is up there as being one of my favourite franchises of all time, yet it’s kind of difficult for me to explain why. In terms of gameplay and the raw mechanics of the series, they don’t exactly do much …

I’ve been pondering the nature of sequels, specifically sequels to games that didn’t really leave a mark on anyone but weren’t exactly bad. The Surge, released back in 2017, is one such game, the purgatorial 7/10 that didn’t blow anyone’s skirt up but it was still a pretty decent experience.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why: Games receive enough backlash from the media as …

Episode 4 has some truly engaging moments, but the issues that have plagued earlier episodes persist. By now, it’s likely that only the diehards – those who forked out for a season pass – will see this through to the end.

I’m not sure I like the word “derivative”. It feels like the kind of word thrown around by YouTube essayists to sounds very clever; rather than saying Darksiders is like The Legend of Zelda, saying it’s derivative convinces your audience that maybe that degree in Linguistics actually might make you qualified to talk about game design. It’s so difficult to …

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times more before it becomes no less of a secret: I appreciate the LEGO games. While they’ve certainly flooded the market with a veritable sea of different interpretations, some being better than others, I can honestly say that LEGO’s take on collect-a-thons have always served me well as “do nothing” …
