This Is Not A Review: Dead Ink

Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in offering a quick recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to grasp the ideas and gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A to Z. The subject of this installment: Dead Ink, developed and published by Offwidth Games.

Moonscars Review

HIGH The most beautiful platformer I’ve seen in a long time.

LOW Character dialogue is surprisingly flat.

WTF RIP to the bone powder I spent an hour and a half farming for.


Dolmen (PS4) Review

HIGH Integrating shooting mechanics into the gameplay is interesting.

LOW It gets the basics wrong, and its few fresh ideas are flawed. 

WTF Releasing this game so close to the defining example of the genre!
