Tokyo 42 Review: Hyper Stylised Hitman

May 31, 2017 Conor 0

Tokyo 42 is a stunningly realised depiction of a neon Pan-Asian future city. It’s also a great indie game built around clever camera controls and some really good shooting gameplay. Plus an excellently flappy coat.

Thomas Was Alone Up and to the Right

Geek Errant Recommends: Thomas Was Alone

May 29, 2017 Conor 0

Thomas was Alone is a short, indie puzzle platforming game created by Mike Bithell as a browser game in 2010, and then again on PC/OSX in 2012. Since then it’s been ported to almost every system available. So why are people so willing to buy and rebuy this game after so many years? And Why do we recommend it?

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: Inside

July 12, 2016 Conor Caulfield 0

Inside is a horror based platforming game by Playdead Games. Their previous game, Limbo, is an excellent addition to any library, a game with a simple aesthetic and gameplay that doesn’t demand too much time to enjoy. With Inside, as before in Limbo, they’ve created a deeply unsettling platformer, starring a young boy who wanders through a steadily more unpleasant environment, solving puzzles and doing basic platforming challenges. If you’re good at something, might as well just iterate on it.
