Contrast is a classic example of a game that could have done with a little more time in the oven. Its got great potential but a combination of a bad camera, bugs and fiddly puzzle solving ruin a world that is interesting to look at and explore. The world of contrast is without doubt its strongest feature. It is, at times beautiful and it is sylized in such a way that it serves to stand out when just taking a passing…
Papers Please is a masterpiece in recreating the modern mundaity of work and its dehumanising effects on us in a modern era of targeted workflows and admin jobs. It managed to make me think about what a game can be , what my attitude towards my working life is and the hierarchies of families.

Problem is with most abusive relationships…they’re kinda hard to put to rest, and i still havnt been able to put LoE to rest. LoE is a platformer with an evil difficulty level. A platformer with over 100 levels that are perfectly designed for the short sharp bursts of gaming that…
Enslaved, Enslaved, Enslaved, Im really not sure where you came from but im damn glad you arrived in my 360’s disc tray. Enslaved is a game that, although ive been aware of its development/existance through trailers, just never lit my fire through the entire duration of its pre release marketing cycle. If im perfectly honest i think i watched the first trailer for Enslaved right after i watched the first trailer for…
