So long review scores

So long review scores

ey, again guys. I’ll keep this brief because I just want to make sure everyone knows I’m working on making the changes a lot of you were concerned about.

After polling our patrons and talking with a lot of you personally and on the Discord we’ve decided to ditch numbered scores for our reviews. In their place, my plan is to implement one of three simple final thoughts. A recommendation to buy the game, skip it, or wait for a sale.

Review: A Plague Tale: Innocence

Review: A Plague Tale: Innocence

Do you know what would be a fun topic right now? The Bubonic Plague. Yes, I’m a bit late to the party on A Plague Tale. It was always a game I had planned to make time for but what with a plague currently sweeping the globe it seemed like poor timing. Despite all of that I’m glad I finally did. This heart-wrenching tale of Amicia and Hugo, two siblings forced on the run by the Inquisition amidst a plague riddled France might have made my top ten in 2019 had I made the time.

Review: The Last of Us Part II

Review: The Last of Us Part II

Violence in games tends to be easier to justify than violence in films. If the protagonist of a summer blockbuster set in the post-apocalypse murdered thirty men in cold blood only to hesitate to take out a single character a room over we would all collectively roll our eyes, but when Nathan Drake does it we’re forced to contend with the puckish rogue being a mass murder between cut scenes. If not, gameplay could get pretty boring.
