The Jimquisition Game Of The Year Awards 2024

NOTE: Subtitles are being done but not up quite yet, which is on me. Laura’s taking a well-earned break and poor planning on my part plus Christmas difficulties led to a late substitution. I know having subs immediately is preferable, but I also want to make sure there’s no rush/stress on this end. Sorry about any inconvenience...

Marvel Rivals - Jeff Or Glory (Review)

Marvel Rivals is pretty good. Certainly far better than I expected, given the usual freemium filth I see with the Marvel logo slapped on. You can CLICK HERE for all my thoughts on this none-too-shabby Hero Shooter.

Vampire Hunters - First Person Survivor (Review)

Vampire Hunters - First Person Survivor (Review)

Meant to do this one ages ago, but better late than never! Vampire Hunters might be named like the videogame equivalent of an Asylum film, but it's a surprisingly inventive take on the Vampire Survivors style. The FPS trappings really do add a lot, and they're done well. 2024-12-18 20:11:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Soundcloud's algorithm accuses me of terrorism, Funko's AI-powered nonsense takes Itch.io offline, and we're all left shaking our heads at the tech industry's awfulness.

The Thing: Remastered - Trust Issues (Review)

The Thing: Remastered - Trust Issues (Review)

2002's The Thing was not a great game, but it had some rubbish charm to it. Nightdive Studios was certainly charmed, and put so much effort into a remaster that I honestly still can't quite believe happened. What did I think of all that? 2024-12-11 18:24:46 +0000 UTC View Post

I genuinely didn't bring the whole "what they DID" thing back last week because of this. It is the most horrible of coincidences, but yes, Dynasty Warriors Origins has done it again. Look what they DID to Zhang He!

There are cishet men in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and that makes it the most offensive game ever made. I'm guessing I can say this and it's perfectly okay, since so many people are saying it about people like me.

Games Aren't Good Because They're "Addictive" (The Jimquisition)

Games Aren't Good Because They're "Addictive" (The Jimquisition)

Over time, the word "addictive" has been used positively when describing games, and it makes sense that a good game is one you can't stop playing. However, addiction is nurtured by bad games too, as evidenced by my habitual playing of Aeternum: New World.

I love how language can evolve but we need to be careful about the shape it takes, e...

New World: Aeternum - New World Blues (Review)

This game demonstrates how an addictive game is not an inherently good game. I've been glued to this thing for ages and yet I couldn't recommend it at all. It's derivative, broken, and maliciously monetized. I can't wait to stop being addicted to it. 2024-10-23 16:58:37 +0000 UTC View Post
