“The Rise of the Golden Idol” – Every Level Ranked

I recently replayed “The Rise of the Golden Idol” because the DLC “The Sins Of New Wells” came out, and while playing I remembered how I’d ranked all of the levels in the original game. It only seems fair to give the sequel the same treatment (and this time, yet again, I’ll add a littleContinue reading ““The Rise of the Golden Idol” – Every Level Ranked”

“Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked

I seem to be on a hot streak of Ace Attorney-adjacent games at the moment – at first it was “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane” which had a magical focus, and now “Murders On The Yangtze River” gave a historical Chinese spin on the genre. Time will tell which of the two I prefer,Continue reading ““Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked”

The Case of the Golden Idol – Every Level Ranked (Including DLC)

“The Case of the Golden Idol” is one of those detective / mystery / deduction games that has to be played to be believed – a bit like “Return of the Obra Dinn”. Without going into too many spoilers, the idea is that you’re following the journey of a mysterious object while solving frozen-in-time deathsContinue reading “The Case of the Golden Idol – Every Level Ranked (Including DLC)”

“The Sexy Brutale” Is Almost Great – REVIEW

While looking for my next Detective / Mystery game to play on Steam, I stumbled across a fairly cheap, moderately well-reviewed title called “The Sexy Brutale”. It’s quite a short game that revolves around a time loop gimmick, and I feel it was almost a great experience – I’ll explain what I liked about it,Continue reading ““The Sexy Brutale” Is Almost Great – REVIEW”

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One – REVIEW

I finally got around to playing the latest Sherlock Holmes game by Frogwares (a series that I love to bits!), and it was certainly quite the experience. The developers have absolutely nailed the immersion of the investigations, and there has never been a more ambitious Sherlock Holmes game in terms of scale to date. WeContinue reading “Sherlock Holmes Chapter One – REVIEW”

MURDER MYSTERY MACHINE – Review

It’s been a good while since I reviewed my last game, but I think it’s time I jumped back on the bandwagon. I have a bit of a niche when it comes to gaming, as more often then not I seem to fall back on the detective genre – so when “Murder Mystery Machine” dropped,Continue reading “MURDER MYSTERY MACHINE – Review”

PARADISE KILLER – Review

I never thought I’d write any sort of review in my lifetime – videogames (and any form of entertainment platform) will always be subjective, and each person’s experience will differ from the next. After the credits rolled for “Paradise Killer”, I knew I had to talk about it. It is one of the most uniqueContinue reading “PARADISE KILLER – Review”
