I... I am a masochist. I have (dreadfully) decided I want to complete every scenario in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 which, in the complete edition, amounts to a grand total of more than I care to count - including maps from the base game and the two DLC's it received. This is going... Continue Reading →
Total War Warhammer 2 Review
Total War Warhammer 2 has... Well it has too many uses of the word "war" in it's name, and I think there was a missed opportunity to name it as the, slightly quirkier, "Total Warhammer 2". But aside from that, what is it? Well, it's a very fun 4x strategy game with more diversity than... Continue Reading →
Shadow of Rome Review – Blood, Blood and More Blood
Today's question of the day is do you like violence? Don't answer that, because I already know; of course you do. It's a part of you. Some might say... It's in your nature. But because of social norms, laws and customs, the desire to unleash your, erm, true self has always had to be contained.... Continue Reading →
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Review – The Amateur RPG
In my ongoing quest to review The Elder Scrolls games completely out of order, next we arrive at Oblivion. Released in 2006 Oblivion was a lot like many of Bethesda's games new and old; admirably ambitious and deeply flawed. But there was something else too. And that thing was amateur. Yeah, considering this is a... Continue Reading →
Wildermyth Review – Roleplaying Done Right

In that regard it sounds like any other traditional RPG, but the real selling point that puts it apart from the others is how time, as a mechanic, works. Time goes forward... Continue Reading →
Halo Infinite Review – Six Years For This
Halo Infinite is a really fun game. You can shoot people's grenades in their hands and blow it up in their faces, you can make an electronic explosion by zapping aliens with your grapple hook, you can spawn in troop transports and drive into story missions with six marines carrying rocket launches, sniper rifles and...

December 2021 Review – Happy New Year
So, first of all, happy new year to anyone and everyone! Second of all, I hope you had a good Christmas this year - though we here in the UK had a big spike of the Covid-19 Omnicorn variant, me and my folks managed a make-shift celebration despite things being far from ideal. Nevertheless I... Continue Reading →
Alex’s Review Corner’s Official 2021 Game of the Year Award!
So here's something I thought would be fun to try (and not something that would keep me up for hours constantly thinking about and re-evaluating); Finding out which game I've reviewed here from January 1st to December 31st of 2021 is worthy of being my personal game of the year. To find out, I shall... Continue Reading →
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator Review
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (hereby refferred to as TABS) is a game about wobbly ragdoll people from different eras of history fighting each other. You have the Tribal faction, the Ancient faction, the Medieval faction for example... Then you have factions that fit somewhere between it all, or that simply seek to exaggerate and explore...
