Baldur’s Gate 3 review – Gentlemen of culture, we meet again

This review ended up being so sprawling because of the amount of thoughts I’ve had on it that I’ve had to divide it up into different sections. I regret absolutely nothing about this because I love the sound of my own voice… The Preamble It took me damn near a year and a half to […]

Beyond the Pale Sleeper – Citizen Sleeper and The Pale Beyond double review

I have in the last couple of months played a couple of new “point-and-click” (I use the phrase loosely) narrative-focused games which both use time elements and resource management to drive their central story. The games in question here being The Pale Beyond and Citizen Sleeper. The similarity of the mechanics of both games combined […]

Psychonauts 2 review – raztackular

Psychonauts is a game that has some fairly outstanding pedigree. It’s one of those cult classics which have become deeply rooted in nostalgia for a great many people, partly because the original supposedly underperformed commercially and partly because there haven’t been a billion sequels to beat the idea to death. It fits into a niche […]

Persona 5 Royal review – Schoolgirls, maids, romance and of course using your powers to change the way people view the world

This is gonna be one of the weirder reviews I’ve done here on MMGaming. Persona 5 Royal was honestly a pretty excellent game, one I’d thoroughly recommend (with a few caveats of course), and that’s so-far, so-standard. The game is extremely highly praised, so adding more praise on top of that probably doesn’t seem quite […]

Hades review – You must travel up, from the house of the dead

I am not a huge fan of roguelikes. As time has gone on it has become more and more apparent to me that, sure, if I’m playing with my friends mechanics are important to me, but if I’m playing alone I place much greater emphasis on story, world-building and character. By their very nature roguelikes […]

Elden Ring review – Art thou also maidenless?

I did it. I fuuuuuucking did it. I’ve mentioned in the past that my experience with Souls-like games is pretty limited. I dabbled with Bloodborne, but only barely got past the first boss and in Dark Souls I reached Quelaag but never killed her. In short, I got enough of a taste of both, but […]

Stray review – I taut I taw a puddy-tat

Even now, I still can’t help but being blown away by the sheer level of popularity generated by Stray. It’s gameplay trailer back in June (2022) very obviously took the internet by storm, so it was a bit of a shock to me to discover it had teaser trailers dating back to 2020. One only […]

Forza V Horizons review – Vroom vroom motherfucker

I’m gonna preface this review by saying that in my “About” section on MMG I say that I don’t like racing games or sports games. I’ve had that there since we started the site in 2011 and it remains true to this day. I’ve always argued that I prefer games with a greater focus on […]

Subverse v0.1 Impressions – What am I doing with my life?

Hey Seb. Are you really going to write out your detailed and in-depth thoughts about a satirical video game that’s absolutely unabashedly just high-grade wanking material? Are you actually, genuinely, sincerely, going to make it public that you not only played a porn game but are properly analysing it? Aren’t you aware what that makes […]

Vidya Round Up – Battle Royales

We’ve all seen the trend, a trend which is now at the point of its popularity where it’s getting “overdone” and so people may be moving to greener pastures soon. But in the meantime, people are still swarming to Battle Royale games and at this point even the big guns of the likes of EA […]
