Video Game Review – AVICII Invector
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 […]

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 […]
