The Messenger – Picnic Panic

Picnic Panic is basically what The Messenger half-heartedly pretended to be.

On the whole, A Short Hike is uncommonly charming, funny, and heartfelt.

Telling Lies makes me wonder if Her Story might have been a once-in-a-lifetime game.

Everything that while True: learn() tries beyond the first few hours immediately falls flat.

One half of WHAT THE GOLF? is a rapid-fire stream of surprising nonsense, and the other half is a laboured trickle of tiresome nonsense.

This is the kind of game that makes me look at everything else on the market and wonder what the fuck their excuse is.

There are many better games than Catherine, but most of them look lazy in comparison.

By many of the usual metrics for game quality, Luigi’s Mansion 3 isn’t great, but it shines in other ways.

With this final single-player expansion, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove now contains two of my favourite games ever.
