Lego Horizon Adventures, PS5 Review

Lego Horizon, I suspect it is bit of a coup for Sony, getting Lego so on-board with their Horizon franchise.

Up until now Lego games have been reserved for the biggest of IPs, like Marvel, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. And with a couple of caveats, I can say Lego: Horizon Adventures is a worthy entrant into this storied sub-genre of games, especially with how next-level gooooorgeous it is.

Black Ops 6, Call of Duty

Call of Duty season rolls around again, its almost Christmas and that means its time for new Black Ops.

After a couple of years with Infinity Ward helming the charge through Modern Warfare territory, and let’s be fair the 2023 instalment should have been DLC and a multiplayer update.

It is refreshing to be back in the hands of Treyarch, which as a die hard Infinity Ward fan caught me by surprise.

Age of Mythology Retold (PC)

If you remember the good old days of 2002, and were a fan of real-time strategy games, chances are you played Age of Mythology, a classic RTS from Ensemble Studios.

Fast forward 22 years, and it’s back with Age of Mythology Retold, a remaster that slaps on a fresh coat of paint – using the graphics engine from Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition – and it does an excellent job for anyone feeling nostalgic for those RTS days of old.

God of War Ragnarok (PC)

Studio Santa Monica’s God of War from 2018 is one of my favourite games in recent memory (despite what the dear editor of this esteemed site thinks of it), which they deftly followed up with God of War Ragnarok.

I sank numerous hours into the original game, featuring grizzled and rough-edged god Kratos (although he’s trying to find his softer side) and his son Atreus, and then did the same with the sequel in 2022.

Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance Review (PS5)

I have always been a fan of RPG’s, including to a lesser degree JRPG’s. But I have never even looked at any of the Shin Megami Tensei titles. Like many games with Japanese roots, the over sexualised schoolgirl vibe has not been something I particularly like.

And on top of that, the batshit crazy storylines can be pretty overwhelming.

ESO: Gold Road – Byte Size Review

Welcome to the 2024 addition to Bethesda’s epic Elder Scrolls Online. ESO continues to be a game I return to on a regular basis.

A solid, grindy, MMORPG. I have covered a plethora of these add-on releases for the the base game, ESO: Tamriel Unlimited since 2015. I can’t help but feel that if you haven’t got into ESO by now then you probably never will.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Review

After 10 years of playing Destiny, being confronted with sitting down at my keyboard to “Review” the penultimate, era-ending expansion, is quite a daunting task.

After the rocky start in 2014, Destiny grew into my comfort food, my hang-out joint and the bane of my life. And in 2024 with the “Light and Dark Saga” coming to a close, what the hell do I do now!?
