Diablo IV Review

HIGH That moment when rare gear drops into existence is as pleasing as ever.

LOW There’s way too much repetition in the enemy encounters, designs and events.

WTF The real money skins cost an absolute fortune for things players will barely be able to see.


Scarlet Nexus Review

I Tried My Hardest To Make A Telekinesis Joke 

HIGH Enjoyable combat.

LOW  Fairly generic mission structure and combat scenarios. 

WTF This is the Force Unleashed iteration we never got.  


Bladed Fury Review

The Princess Is In Another Castle (Murdering Everyone)


HIGH Fluid and fast-paced 2D hack-‘n-slash action.

LOW The English translation is (I assume) hurting the story.

WTF I’m guessing the names would mean more if I knew Chinese lore.


This is Not a Review: Phantom Trigger

Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in offering a quick recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to grasp the ideas and gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A to Z.

The subject of this installment: Phantom Trigger, developed by Bread Team and published by TinyBuild.
