Ryan Taylor

Grew up playing the Nintendo 64 where I fell in love with the Legend of Zelda series. As I got older though my console of choice changed, first to PS2, and then finally to the Xbox 360, which I've been playing on for over a decade now. And since my first day booting up my Xbox, I've upgraded consoles and even built a gaming PC. Because at the end of the day I just love gaming.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story Review

The story, world building, characters, and sound design are where Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story excels.

Saga of the Moon Priestess Review

I didn’t hate my time with Saga of the Moon Priestess, but there are a lot of rough edges that still need to be polished.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review

You'll enjoy your time with Turnip Boy a lot more on the second go around in Turnip Boy Robs a Bank.

Have a Nice Death Review

There is a lot of personality in Have a Nice Death. The animation is fluid and the character and sound design are phenomenal. It is a challenging game that doesn’t forgive mistakes, so it won’t be fun for those looking for a casual game. But if you like a roguelike that will push you to the edge, Have a Nice Death is a welcome addition to your game library.

Raven’s Hike Review

Raven's Hike is a simple game built on a simple mechanic, but it does it well.

REDO! Review

The base mechanics of REDO! aren’t inherently flawed and everything plays like it's supposed to, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

Disc Room Review

Disc Room is a straightforward game that’s built on a simple concept, but is also incredibly addicting and challenging

Omori Review

It's the narrative that makes Omori something special. Subtlety is an important part of good storytelling because it makes you think and it makes you want to talk about it.

Endzone – A World Apart: Survivor Edition Review

Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition is a fantastic addition to the Xbox lineup. It could use a little more optimization and there are a couple small bugs that need to be squashed, but it is an easy game to sink tons of hours into.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Review

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe doesn’t disappoint and you will enjoy all the new content included! It is buckets of fun.

Source of Madness Review

I have been torn when playing Source of Madness. It is built out with some very solid mechanics for the progression and combat, but the poor enemy variety and AI, coupled with overbearing visuals, ensures it is very hard to enjoy those mechanics.

Loot River Review

It feels like Loot River has difficulty in committing to the type of game it wants to be. For a roguelike, the runs feel too short, with too much blocked off. For a roguelite, the run-to-run progression is too lacking to be engaging.

Rogue Legacy 2 Review

Rogue Legacy 2 is a fun game that incentivises variety. The different character traits can come together and make truly unique runs that don’t feel repetitive.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion Review

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a cutesy adventure game that has a great sense of humor and some simple gameplay mechanics.

Citizen Sleeper Review

Citizen Sleeper is a rather niche game. The gameplay itself is minimal, but there is a massive amount of storytelling to be taken in.

Inukari – Chase of Deception Review

The best things about Inukari - Chase of Deception are the visuals and the music. Each world comes with audio tailored to the environment, catchy enough that it never gets redundant. If only the rest of the game would’ve seen the same care

Dr. Oil Review

Dr. Oil misses the mark in regards the core concept of what makes a platformer fun - a feeling of accomplishment for overcoming a challenge through skill.

Spelunky 2 Review

Spelunky 2 is not a game for everyone. If you don’t like precision platformers or incredibly challenging games, then this isn’t going to be for you. But if you enjoy roguelikes or are after a game that challenges you, feeling incredibly rewarding when you pull off some crazy maneuvers, then I can’t recommend Spelunky 2 enough.

Red Ronin Review

For a good chunk of the time, Red Ronin is a fun game that provides a good challenge. I just wish that the mechanics introduced in the second half of the game could’ve either been implemented better, or left out altogether.

Beautiful Sakura: Surfing Club Review

Beautiful Sakura: Surfing Club is perhaps the most cynical, half-hearted attempt at weedling £10 out of someone’s pockets, and no amount of baby-oil and AI-generated creepy-fingers can justify its existence. If this is the future of gaming then stop the bus, because we’re getting off.
