Shaun Munro reviews AVICII Invector… Invector, Avicii’s rhythm game collaboration with developer Hello There Games, was originally released on PS4 back in December 2017, several months before the legendary DJ – real name Tim Bergling – tragically died. In co-operation with Bergling’s estate, the game is now being re-released as AVICII Invector for PC, Xbox […]
Video Game Review – Arise: A Simple Story
Shaun Munro reviews Arise: A Simple Story… The debut title from developer Piccolo Studio might seem like yet another predictably minimalist indie puzzle-platformer, yet there’s an emotional honesty and resonance to Arise: A Simple Story which ensures the game’s brief-but-bracing journey is anything but familiar. And indeed, Arise‘s narrative is as straight-forward as its title […]
Video Game Review – The Stretchers
Shaun Munro reviews The Stretchers… Shadow-dropped by Nintendo on the eShop a few weeks ago, The Stretchers is the latest offering from Little Nightmares developer Tarsier Studios, and couldn’t feel much more different from their prior horror-platformer. This relaxing, endearingly daft physics-based co-op puzzle game thrusts players into the role of two paramedics, who must team […]
Video Game Review – Golem
Shaun Munro reviews Golem… Highwire Games’ Golem was first announced back in December 2015 and originally slated for a March 2018 release. Despite much speculation that the intriguing-looking puzzle-action VR title had become “vapourware,” Golem has indeed finally been released. And while Highwire deserves some scattered praise for creating an immersive, visually appealing world, more often […]
Leeds International Film Festival 2019 – Night of the Dead Horror Marathon Review
A much-loved institution of the Leeds International Film Festival is its annual Night of the Dead sidebar, an overnight horror movie marathon which lures some 300-ish genre fans to Leeds’ legendary Hyde Park Picture House for 10 hours of cult horror mayhem. Beginning in the late hours of November 15th and lurching into the early […]
Video Game Review – Death Stranding
Shaun Munro reviews Death Stranding… In an age where the dollar value of a single-player game without the expected “live service” accoutrements couldn’t be lower, it’s enormously refreshing to see something like Death Stranding – a title so stridently committed to minimalism despite its evidently massive production budget. But more than that, the latest offering from […]
Video Game Review – Audio Trip (Early Access)
Shaun Munro reviews Audio Trip (Early Access)… With top-shelf rhythm game franchises like Guitar Hero and Rock Band sputtering to a halt as of late, the genre has found a most unexpected niche in the virtual reality realm. Recent hit titles such as Beat Saber and BOXVR have re-conceptualised the traditional rhythm game in creative […]
Video Game Review – Luigi’s Mansion 3
Shaun Munro reviews Luigi’s Mansion 3… It’s fair to say that Nintendo’s spin-off titles tend to be either wonderfully creative – ala Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – or forgettably complacent – looking at you, Kirby Star Allies – though fans probably won’t be too surprised to learn that Luigi’s Mansion 3 thankfully lands in the former […]
Video Game Review – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Shaun Munro reviews Call of Duty: Modern Warfare… Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a game built on huge foundational contradictions. On one hand it expresses a clear desire to return to the series’ roots following increasingly adventurous – and divisive – departures from the Michael Bay-inspired military fetishism of prior installments. But on the […]
Video Game Review – Afterparty
Shaun Munro reviews Afterparty… Oxenfree developers Night School Studio return with another disarmingly existential – yet decidedly more hilarious – sophomore effort, a contemporary riff on Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 classic film The Seventh Seal, but with a lot more binge-drinking. Afterparty revolves around two recently deceased, too-cool-for-school young adults, Milo and Lola, who upon arriving […]
