Quick question: When you see the words ‘video game’ and ‘AI’ in the description of the latest sci-fi themed release, what is your initial, gut reaction? If it’s “AI gone mad and murdered/sent other AIs to murder everyone”, then Rumu may seem like another one of those. I’m not judging you by the way-that was […]
The Adventure pals is “one of those games”; a fun, relaxing action-platformer, which does not attempt to challenge the player with challenging gameplay. It is a goofy, light-hearted game, which you spent a few hours with (around 9 to be precise) and then you move on; you won’t break your controller, you won’t get stuck […]
If I had to summarize Gears 5 in one sentence it would go something like this: You know that buddy we all have, who says he’s going to change and then starts to do some things differently where you see some difference, but stops halfway through? That’s Gears 5 in a nutshell; it realizes it […]

These are usually low-costing, highly focused games, trying to deliver a poignant story, like Quarantine Circular, a game I’ve been meaning […]
People have different ways to grade games: Some use the letter system; others use numbers; some prefer categories, such as excellent or bad. Similarly, people categorize games in different ways, sometimes depending on their quality, other times depending on their scale, budget and genre; Vampyr reminded me of a category I have not assigned to […]
Video games are a hot commodity, at the moment; last year’s 10% increase in revenue in comparison to 2016’s revenue is just the statistical proof, and on Steam alone, there were 7, 672 games released in 2017 (as per Polygon). In practice, the game industry is becoming more and more competitive and vicious for games […]

In the featured documentary on the process of creating Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, director Tameem Antoniades said something that stuck with me; regarding his research on mental illness, and more specifically psychosis, he said: “I didn’t have to look far to discover my own ignorance of the subject.” That’s how I felt in my first year […]
