Sundered (PS4)

Destiny 2 (PS4)

Hitting level 20 does nothing of course. If anything Destiny 2 starts at level 20. An imposed maximum level that marks the end of easy steady progression and …

Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)

After completing Metroid Prime I summarised the game as, "a good Metroid in 3D, but not a Super Metroid in 3D." Of course, a Super Metroid in 3D would never …

The Legend of Zen

Thor Ragnarok finally learns to roleplay

I think the best way to describe Thor Ragnarok is by treating it as the third campaign by a relatively new group of Dungeons & Dragons players. Twice now, …

Demonic ramen

Japanese commercials are intense, just like their instant ramen.
