Geek Errant Reviews: Clustertruck

September 28, 2016 Conor 0

Jump. Jump. Slow Time, pivot in the air, the truck below is about to flip. Wait one, bounce off airborne truck, realise target truck is not going to be fast enough. Slow time. Grapple to trucks packed together. Bounce. Jump. Sprint jump to clear the goal. One level in Clustertruck. Maybe ten seconds of gameplay. How fast can you react? Clustertruck is a fast paced first person platforming game developed by Landfall Games and published by tinyBuild Games. The player starts on top of a convoy of erratically moving trucks. They can’t touch the environment objects or the floor. They must reach a goal at the end of the level as quick as possible. That’s the core gameplay objective.

Geek Errant Reviews: Virginia

September 23, 2016 Conor 1

Virginia begins by telling the player that the events of the game have been compiled from notes and case files to create the play they are about to experience. Like a play or film, the game lends itself to a variety of interpretations, a situation which the game wildly encourages. Virginia is one of the most blatant attempts by a developer to blend cinematic techniques and games conventions. To the credit of 505 Games and Variable State, they have definitely hit the mark.

No Man’s Sky Review: A Universe of Moments

August 17, 2016 Conor Caulfield 1

No Man’s Sky, from the comparatively small team at Hello Games, is a game balancing on a tightrope. It is both indie and mainstream, confoundingly huge and yet incredibly personal. The game is straddling the lines of two of the biggest genres that exist in modern gaming, and not quite managing to exemplify either.
