Shaun Munro reviews Yoshi’s Crafted World… If Yoshi’s Crafted World doesn’t break Nintendo’s streak of releasing solid if fairly routine offerings for its sub-Mario mascots on the Switch, it still delivers a reliably breezy weekend’s worth of spritely fun with just enough push-back to satisfy. As has been the trend in recent years for everyone’s […]

Video Game Review – Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
Shaun Munro reviews Tom Clancy’s The Division 2… The “looter shooter” genre is one tailor-made to invite derision from press and players alike, if only for its stereotypical reliance on rote repetition in the pursuit of Shiny Things, while putting basic facets of gaming narrative – that is, story and character – to the back-burner. […]

Shaun Munro reviews ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove… There are few video games more emblematic of the 1990s than Mega Drive cult classic ToeJam & Earl, an early entry into the roguelike genre which dropped players into the sneakers of two alien rappers after they crash-land on Earth. This Kickstarter-funded “sequel”, effectively a re-imagining […]
Video Game Review – Ape Out
Shaun Munro reviews Ape Out… It’s nigh-on impossible for any ultra-violent top-down trial-and-error shooter not to be endlessly compared to Hotline Miami these days – especially when it’s also published by Devolver Digital. But beyond this superficial if not entirely insignificant similarity, Ape Out carves out a slickly singular identity that’s very much its own. Agreeably thin on plot, […]
