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 […]

Subnautica review – Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, what the fuck was that noise?

I remember I first experienced Subnautica in what must have been early 2015. It had recently made the plunge into early access and was still relatively barebones. Not much more than a survival-crafting game underwater at that point, with none of the base-building and story that makes it so exceptional now. OOPS gave my review […]

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 […]

Life is Strange: True Colours review – I refuse to spell it as “colors” and I will fight any Americans who say otherwise

For those of you keeping track, my opinion of the franchise of Life is Strange has been basically on a downhill trend ever since its inception. I quite liked the original by devs DontNod and then also kinda-sorta liked the prequel Before the Storm, but believe it was basically ruined by an absolutely garbage ending […]

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 […]

Ghost of a Tale review – Sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous beastie

At some point when the Earth was new and God was a boy, all the way back in late 2016 when the idea of a global pandemic was a subject for the history books as something that only happened after world wars and would never ever happen again, I did an Early Access video review […]

The Medium review – Medium well done

Before we begin I need to make a confession. When I first saw the wallpaper art for The Medium, I thought it was going to be a CGI anime game with one of those silver-haired anime boy protagonists… Y’know he was going to be one of those really “I am 13 and this is deep” […]

Alien: Isolation review: Maybe I’m the monster? No, the monsters are definitely the monsters

I like horror games. This might come as a surprise given how infrequently I talk about them, but that’s because I do not deal well with horror. I need lots of tea breaks, pauses where I try to get my heart rate out of the thousands and comforting reassurance that the big scary monsters are […]

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 […]

Life is Strange 2 review – This is why My Hero Academia would never work

I have something of an odd relationship with Life is Strange. I overall have pretty favourable memories about the first one, which is reflected in my review. I had my niggles, but I thought that the game largely did a lot right with its storytelling. Having said that, I’ve also repeatedly had discussions with Lamios about this and […]
