  • Onimusha 2 Samurai’s Destiny Remastered Review

    2 weeks ago | stevivor.com | Jay Ball

    Nostalgic hit, or sad reminder? Since developers started remaking and remastering old video games, I’ve had conflicting views on the subject. When it comes to remasters I’m mostly supportive. Hell, I’ve even favourably reviewed a few of them over the years — if an older game is rebuilt from the ground up, allowing it to fall into line with modern controls, mechanics, and visuals, it enables a new generation of gamers to experience the classics of yesteryear.

  • Doom The Dark Ages Review: No guts, no glory kills

    4 weeks ago | stevivor.com | Jay Ball

    From the original games that propelled id Software along on its path to glory, to more recent installments that brought the franchise to a new generation of slayers, Doom has always held a special place in my heart. The satisfying violence, the lightning fast pace, and those oh so heavy metal soundtracks always worked for me. The modern Doom series began, shockingly, 9 years ago.

  • Astro Bot Review: Pure platforming perfection

    Sep 9, 2024 | stevivor.com | Jay Ball

    Astronomical. “Can I watch this one?” my 8-year-old daughter called from the doorway. Expecting my usual response of “sorry, mate, this one’s for grown-ups,” her eyes lit up when I welcomed her in. “ As she sat down, she asked why I was playing a kids’ game; seeing her eyes fixated on the screen and hearing the occasional, “aww that’s so cute,” escaping her grinning face as I found yet another little robot, I didn’t bother answering her.

    Find each and every Lorestangir and Face. While Hellblade 2 is a fairly short gaming experience, some of the collectibles can be tough to find. This Senua’s Saga Hellblade 2 collectibles guide covers all of the rock faces and all of the Lorestangir (Icelandic for Lore Bars according to google translate) in order from start to finish.

  • Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 Review

    May 21, 2024 | stevivor.com | Jay Ball

    A masterpiece of madness. I can’t emphasise enough how much I enjoyed the first Hellblade game. It was clear from the opening minutes of Ninja Theory’s 2017 title that every individual component of Senua’s Sacrifice was given just as much love and attention as it deserved. A game from a (then) independent studio — while short– it featured all the production value of a triple-A title from a multimillion dollar studio with hundreds of staff.
