10 Hours With… Pokémon Scarlet
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently playing Pokémon Scarlet, one of the two new mainline Pokémon games – you may have heard of them, haha! They feature the new, open-world region of Paldea and plenty other new innovations to the series, so there’s a lot to discuss. However, with the game naturally…
10 Hours With… Pokémon Unite
As the Pokémon juggernaut rolls on, so does it continue to branch into different platforms and genres. Most lately, this has been through the currently Switch-exclusive Pokémon Unite (a mobile release is coming soon), which brings the franchise to the world of MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas), a competitive and highly popular genre long associated…
10 Hours With… Nine Parchments
Recently, some friends and I were searching for a new multiplayer game to play; in particular, something a bit more fantastical and magical, as a change from our time with Zombie Army 4: Dead War.

10 Hours With… Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Y’know, on occasions, games just don’t click with you.

Whilst I wouldn’t say Animal Crossing is my…
10 Hours With… Lost Sphear
My first 10 hours with on Nintendo Switch Lost Sphear felt pleasant but unspectacular. Just like the previous game from Square Enix developers Tokyo RPG Factory, I Am Setsuna (you can read my review of that here), it leans on a lot of classic JRPG elements, but the occasional moments of wonderful original ideas pulled me…
10 Hours With… Persona 5
There were a lot of fantastic games in 2017. The issue is, they tended to be massive games that absorbed you into their worlds, taking up many hours of your life. Prioritising the likes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild led to delaying a playthrough of, say, Persona 5. I know, I know, what a hard life. See,…
10 Hours With… Horizon Zero Dawn
When Horizon Zero Dawn was announced at E3 2015, it was a very exciting prospect and a standout in the upcoming schedule of releases. An unknown setting merging the old and new, massive robotic creatures, and a charismatic female lead in Aloy – not to mention that I’m a sucker for some archery. So, why…
