This Is Not A Review – Necromunda: Underhive Wars
Warhammer is a frustrating license. When adaptations using the brand pop, they’re fantastic. Great settings, rich gameplay, and a lot of perks that come from being able to draw from such long-lived and celebrated IPs. Blood Bowl 2, Inquisitor: Martyr and Mechanicus were all fantastic, and some of my favorite experiences.
Paranoia: Happiness Is Mandatory Review
Failure To Be Fun Is Treason
HIGH Absolutely nails the atmosphere of fear and ignorance from the tabletop game.
LOW Frustrating combat scenarios. Progression is inconsistent.
WTF When did it stop being treasonous to ignore the orders of a higher clearance citizen?
Seven Deadly Sins: Knights Of Britannia Review
We’ve Got Some Steak, But Not Much Sizzle…
High An anime take on medieval Britain and King Arthur.
Low The game only recaps the anime, and not much else.
WTF Owning a bar that is the hat of a giant pig is normal in this world.
Attack On Titan 2 Review
I Kill Giants
HIGH The same great hook as before, working better than it ever has.
LOW Enough recycling to make Greenpeace proud.
WTF I was Attack on Titan‘s hero all along! Who knew?!
HOGuru Plays – Jekyll and Hyde: The Strange Case
It’s another Hidden Object Adaptation of a classic piece of literature – this time a certain novel by Robert Louis Stevenson! Will it be as good as Jekyll? Almost certainly not, because nothing is.
HOGuru Reviews – Haunted Hotel: Charles Dexter Ward
HP Lovecraft adaptations always interest me. As a fan of the author’s work, I’m aware of how much material it offers for adaptation into other media. Videogames have proven especially fond of his material, recycling plots, themes, and especially monster designs since the days of text adventures. Yet Hidden Object adaptations have been oddly scarce on the ground. Despite a large number of stories which would be remarkably easy to adapt, I’ve only been able to find word of three titles. Mountains of madness, reviewed here, Cats if Ulthar, which I’m trying to find a copy of, and this game, Haunted Hotel: Charles Dexter Ward. Mountains of Madness was a stellar game – how does this one change the HPL adaptation average?
