I have always hated games from the Rogue-Like genre. The lack of progression, the severe penalty for simple mistakes and if I’m honest, the feeling of games just being unfair. It does nothing for me.

In fact, at this stage of the year Returnal currently sits atop my Game of the Year list for 2021.

We were due to review Darksiders: Genesis late last year on PC, but didn’t have a rig that could run it.

There is no doubt, the Zombieland movies have the right mix of grossness and humour to be entertaining.
Zombieland Road Trip is a game that sits between the two movies. The Road Trip being the fab four’s journey to the White House, loosely.

However due to poor characters, bad gameplay mechanics and literally idiotic design choices around a reliance on Co-Op, I grew to seriously dislike this series off-shoot.
Even the franchises you love can have bad days…

But I hear you say, enough talk…….. what are the Games of The Year down at the Cottage?
Well, here we go.
