❌🎮 “I’m sorry darling, I’m just not in the mood.” 🎮❌ #DivinityOriginalSin

Upon its original release, I picked up Divinity 2: Original Sin and spent thirty frustrating hours with it before uninstalling it from my hard drive and giving up.

Through a mix of glitches, difficulty spikes, strange design choices and a general sense of the game being incomplete, I chalked it up to just not being my thing and moved on to other games.

Now, eighteen months or so later, I thought I’d give it another crack as I’ve been ill for a while and just fancied cancelling all my plans and spending a weekend relaxing and getting hips deep into a full-on RPG to soak up my time.

👹 Review: Monster Loves You - "a charming, if shallow monster’s tale" 👹 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Monster Loves You

Format: Steam (PC)

With its charming, colourful visuals and humourous text, Monster Loves You raised a chuckle or two and a few smiles from me but I couldn’t shake the sense that this feels like a mobile port due to its repetitive nature and shallow depth.

🔪🌲 Review: Log Jammers "Windjammin’ on wood" 🔪🌲 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Log Jammers

Developer: Mega Cat Games

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Having recently reviewed the re-release of Windjammers on Switch, it was fresh in my mind when playing Log Jammers,which,whilst having a lot going for it has one particular feature which will make or break it in the eyes of players…the sheer breakneck speed of it.

Pixel Ripped 1989 is a feast for your ears, eyes and it seriously scratches your nostalgia gaming itch like no other gaming experience I’ve had on PSVR.
