Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is - on the surface – incredibly simple and finds power in that simplicity. But its journey is layered, nuanced, and intimate. When it released in 2017 it was hailed as a technical marvel, but even a cursory look at some of the behind-the-scenes footage its developer – Ninja Theory – released shows a game that’s so much more than its graphics. So let's talk about it.

System Shock's 2023 remake keeps the soul of the game and gives us a damn love letter to what it wanted to be in 1994. It's incredibly faithful, and while it looks fantastic and is more accessible, it retains a lot of the complexity and lack of compromise that I love in the original - and it does all of this without losing sight of the original game’s biggest thematic focus – transhumanism. So let's talk about it.

In the Halls of Gaming History, I believe Survivor will be rightfully punished for the state it released in. But once you move past the bugs and performance issues, what you get is a game that has a grand scope, swashbuckling ideals, is an improvement over its predecessor in almost every measurable way, and almost brings balance to the force.

Fort Solis' worldbuilding isn't as interesting as it thinks it is. Its atmosphere is let down by its insistence that the player trudge through it, rather than eagerly explore. It's a 2 hour game that somehow manages to stretch its length out to 5 because of its painstaking slowness, and that slowness doesn't breed tension, it just breeds boredom.
And all of these problems are crystallised by the time its first ten minutes are up.

It’s a brittle, hollow shell, made cynically, written farcically, engineered poorly, and designed not with FUN in mind, but an always-turning grindstone labeled “Player Engagement.” It’s borderline irredeemable. Nothing about the game is engaging, interesting, unique, or even functional. This was WB Montreal’s opportunity to step out of the shadow of the bat. It should have been better than this.

Rocksteady ripped out every system, re-examined every set-piece, redesigned the combat, the stealth, the gadgets, to give them a new lease of life in an open world that is proudly designed to be played, not wander through. The feeling of playing Arkham Knight is very different from the feeling of playing Asylum, City, or Origins.
And that’s not just because of the batmobile.
So let's look at Batman's legend, and the legacy of the game that said goodbye to him.

The 25th of August, 2009, was a dark night for the Batman. But out of Arkham Asylum’s darkness was born a Bat with love, craft, care, and colour injected into his veins and the hearts of his enemies. A pulpy, full-throttle swing into madness where – on repeat playthroughs – you can trace the lines of code Rocksteady lay to find their Batman and give his world a voice.
So let's talk about Arkham Asylum and its inspirations to see how Rocksteady found their Batman, and let us find him right alongside them.

The Last Of Us Part 2 is clever, but it's also indulgent. It knows that it's clever and loses some of the first game's understatedness as a result. But when it comes to its first ten minutes, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The Evil Within 2 learns, polishes, and tightens up the screws as a sequel. It pulls away from homages and recognisable frights, and instead explores the potential inherent in this franchise. Even when it occasionally stumbles, every scream remains a painting.

Shinji Mikami’s return to horror was awaited with bated breath. The Evil Within’s announcement felt like a direct response to the gloopy mixture the genre had melted into, but if you plugged it into a heart monitor, what you'd see is a steady thrum with a couple of thrilling spikes in tension that ultimately falls off and wears itself out. But there’s still a lot of heart in here. So let’s break it down alongside the games that preceded it.

This video will please nobody.
Bioshock Infinite's legacy is tainted, but I still love it. It's a messy, slick, limited, deep, well-written, poorly-written game that's as controversial as it was well-reviewed at release.
So let’s finish this series of critiques with the most divisive Bioshock.
We covered the whole Bioshock series on Lore Dump - the show where we take someone who hasn't played a game and walk them through the full story: youtu.be/fnGJtl3NguM

This video is also brought to you by the fact I say “Irrational Games” multiple times in this video when I should say “2K Marin.” I’m never writing three videos at the same time ever again.
It's also brought to you by this statement on The Selfish Gene - because god dammit shut up I am begging you to read more than the cliffnotes of Dawkins before thinking you're an expert:
twitter.com/MontyZander/status/1590785075011981312
A critique of Bioshock 2. Where Bioshock 1 lampoons Ayn Rand’s objectivism, Bioshock 2 is inspired by Jim Jones, The People’s Temple, and Collectivism. The game is hyperfocussed on flipping the original Bioshock on its head and looking at the underbelly of the philosophies that crystallised it.
So let's return to Rapture and ask what happens after a group warped by hyper-capitalism finds a new philosophy. What happens after they drink the Kool-Aid?

Bioshock is – in all but name – a sequel to Atlas Shrugged. It holds up a magnifying glass to John Galt’s utopia, adds a dash of irony and horror, and asks – what happens after the inventors, artists, CEO’s, and billionaires live apart from the rest of the world? What happens after the shrug?

Quantum Break was ambitious, and weird, and fascinating, and very little about it works the way Remedy hoped it would. In hindsight, the combat serves as a tech demo for what Control would later refine. Despite the likability factor of Shawn Ashmore, Jack Joyce is a potato of a protagonist. Despite the game’s visuals being slick and cool, and the machinations of its time travel having eons of potential, the sum of its parts undercut it at almost every turn.
So that’s what we’re going to look at here. Just like a fracture, we’re going to tear Quantum Break apart to see what’s good, what’s bad, and to ask the question – does Remedy’s techno-thriller go beyond its ambitions?

I love Elden Ring, and I've made my partner play through the openings of 7 From Software games. She now knows the basics of this genre, but hasn't played an open-world game before.
So what happens if Elden Ring is your first open-world game?

The Forgotten City is about a lot of things, and its beauty lies in the fact that what I got from the experience might not be what you get from it. It hinges on the player’s desire to engage with it to its fullest. You can’t pick this game up, put it down, and come back to it a month later. More than any other game I’ve played, it wants you to think about it in-between play sessions, to consider its many interesting characters and the philosophies they practice, to want to eat its central mystery, not just unravel it.
It’s not just “A Timeloop Game,” or A Walking Simulator. It’s an Escape Room the size of a City. Please play this game before watching this video.

I love Dark Souls 3.
Not as much as Bloodborne, not as much as Dark Souls 1, but Lothric’s oppressive atmosphere, skulking enemies, and sheer refinement of the Souls formula makes for satisfying, and expressive gameplay every time you boot it up. Its setting, and how it uses the world-building of previous games to strengthen its theme of cycles absolutely blew my mind, and I’m willing to bet I’m not alone.
So, with all this in mind… let’s put this opening to the test. Let’s force a noob, a non-gamer, namely my girlfriend, to sit down and try to tackle Dark Souls 3’s first section, to see if we can answer one question.
Noobus Humanus 4: Can my girlfriend make it past Vordt of the Boreal Valley… in Dark Souls 3?

Spec Ops: The Line is dressed in the sand, and sheen, and glitz of an abandoned Dubai, but at its core it’s most interested in asking the player a question. Who is responsible for a war crime? Who should bear the brunt? How much social responsibility can we assign to a soldier who pulls the trigger? Or should we turn our anger towards the decision-makers who conditioned them?
It’s the military shooter which ruined military shooters for me – and that’s the most ringing endorsement I can give it. Nothing has compared since. It’s the sort of experience Call of Duty: Modern Warfare wishes it could give its players.
But how exactly does it condition a player to see it as just another generic shooter? What does its framework say about its inspirations? Why is its opening so effective?

As much as I love Alan Wake, Control is braver in a lot of ways.

Creative Director Sam Lake took what he learned from Alan Wake and Quantum Break, and bounced into a new tone, style, and atmosphere which felt uniquely… him. And whilst Control also embraces its inspirations – namely the SCP Foundation and elements of Twin Peaks Season 3 – there’s a lot more Remedy in here than there was in Max Payne or Alan Wake. If Alan Wake went Beyond Inspiration, Control, arguably, goes even further.
But for all of the great that’s in here, the game avoids being called a Masterpiece because it doesn’t fully embrace its weirdness in a mechanical sense.
At points it sludges through some really trite, and really dull modern game design which holds it back from being a truly unique experience.
For a lot of people, I know this was their 2019 Game of the Year, and while it’s not mine, I do think it’s well worth that title. It’s a game of peaks and valleys. What it does well it does incredibly well, but when it’s naff… it’s really naff. There’s a lot of freshness in here, like a day-old pear in a fruit-bowl, but it’s sat alongside apples and oranges which are beginning to go soft.

I respect Sekiro. FromSoftware deserves a lot of credit for trying to evolve the Soulsborne format. Offering either stealth or swordplay, it pulls back from the overwhelming choice you get from Dark Souls and Bloodborne’s numbers-heavy character progression, in favour of a smaller array of choices. This demands that the player engage with all of it and get better. The agility which wolf has is a wonder to behold, the world is gorgeous, and vibrant, colourful, despite the rot undercutting its tale.
But how does it stack up compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne when a new player goes head-to-head with it?
