Believes most difficulty complaints are communication problems and writes accordingly. Keeps a death counter running in every review, less as a boast than as evidence of how long the learning curve actually took.

Hollow Knight: Silksongstill playing
Fourteen hours in, and it is already asking more of me than the first game did at forty.
Not scored yet
Hades II
More of everything, held together by writing that still has no real competition in the genre.
Scored 8.6 out of ten
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
FromSoftware makes a game about building the right tool, not about being the better player.
Scored 8.7 out of ten
Tekken 8
The most welcoming fighting game ever made, wrapped around monetisation that keeps testing the goodwill.
Scored 8.0 out of ten
Lies of P
A soulslike that stops imitating around hour twelve and starts arguing.
Scored 7.9 out of ten
Black Myth: Wukong
Spectacular boss design carried by a world that keeps forgetting to be a world.
Scored 7.7 out of ten
Sifu
A fighting game disguised as a beat-em-up, where dying makes you old and old makes you fragile.
Scored 8.4 out of ten
Stellar Blade
A combat system good enough to deserve a better game around it.
