Pentiment review – Only The penitent man will pass

I’m fairly late to this particular train (understatement of the year), but man, Obsidian Entertainment make some absolutely shit-hot narrative games. KOTOR2, Fallout New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny. These are games where the story is front and centre and because of it they’ve remained beloved games for decades after release (with many still […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
