As a creative person, I love it when games tinkle my imagination and encourage me to role-play or start making stuff up as my “head-canon”. However, that doesn’t happen as often as I would like; I often let myself get tricked into playing the latest and greatest RPGs that encourage that mentality, but I never […]

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 […]
What makes a good sequel? Some say that it should fix the problems of its predecessor and expands on the positives, with more meaningful improvements; others will say that it should attempt to do something new and exciting in the same universe.

E3 press conferences are done! Let’s recount what we saw and talk about what happened… E3 is probably my favorite time of the year; the hype is high and the excitement is higher. This year’s E3 was a bit different; yes, we got the exciting announcements, the surprising announcements and the smaller, indie games that […]
The Adventure pals is “one of those games”; a fun, relaxing action-platformer, which does not attempt to challenge the player with challenging gameplay.

Since 2014, when Phil Spencer was given the position of “head of Microsoft Studios”, the narrative has been about the new leadership trying to […]
What I expect/want to see from Playstation in E3 2018: Sony’s having an extraordinary generation thus far; their console has sold more than double of what their competitors have, and their exclusive catalog grows in critical and reception as well as providing healthy profits. This has been going on since the start of the […]

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 […]
