Why Assassins Creed Odyssey is a great game

Forget the Youtuber Cult of Kosmos. It’s epic stuff. For a while I stopped playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I was at about level 30 and deep into the grind of exploring the map and levelling up. I was still often wowed with the epic map of Ancient Greece that was…

FREE GAMES REVIEW: Tiny Room

Very little room for improvement. I don’t enjoy Room Escape games. If I wanted to spend my time randomly prodding at a screen with a sense of impatience and dread, I’d go back to online dating. Everything you have to do feels like admin. And I refuse. Find your own…

FREE GAMES REVIEW: Aqueducts

Boring water. Boring, boring water. There are some things in life that are objectively a bad idea but I have to accept, through gritted teeth, that people will carry on with them anyway: burning fossil fuels, factory farming and voting for the Conservative Party. Then there are things that are…
