I played “Escape Simulator” a few months ago and was impressed by its quirky and thorough approach to escape rooms. The puzzles could be genuinely challenging, and the creativity was impressive. “Escape Simulator 2”, however, is even better than the original. It’s only 12 rooms compared to the original, but these rooms are longer andContinue reading “Escape Simulator 2 – Every Room Ranked”

“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”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)
Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer). He called this case “basically perfect”, which is incorrect for a plethora of reasons that I’mContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)”
“Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – Every Chapter Ranked
I’ve recently finished playing “Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – the latest Frogwares Sherlock game – and it’s safe to say my opinions on it are mixed. Instead of a full-blown review, I thought it better to rank the game’s chapters individually. There are eight chapters (not cases, like in “Crimes and Punishments”, but instalments inContinue reading ““Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened” – Every Chapter Ranked”
Modern Frogwares Games Ranked (Sherlock Holmes & The Sinking City)
For some reason, I just keep coming back to Frogwares’ games. They’re a developer I’ve come to respect despite their inconsistent releases, and I have a love-hate relationship with their Sherlock series (and “The Sinking City” as well). I’ll be ranking all five “modern” Frogwares titles, i.e. from “Crimes and Punishments” onwards as I feltContinue reading “Modern Frogwares Games Ranked (Sherlock Holmes & The Sinking City)”
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”
The Sinking City – Almost A Classic
It’s been a while since I’ve done a game review on this blog – what better way to re-start this type of post than with a game I replayed recently that nobody cares about anymore, “The Sinking City”! Frogwares are more known for their Sherlock Holmes games, so I was surprised when they released aContinue reading “The Sinking City – Almost A Classic”
