“Sky Kraken Ahead!” Dynamic Role-Playing in Sunless Skies

Niall O'Donoghue Mar 20, 2020 0
The Edge Chronicles was an important book series for me growing up. Writer Paul Stewart and legendary illustrator Chris Riddell crafted a kid-friendly universe full of horrifying monsters, exotic locations and (best of all) sky pirates!…

With Sekiro FromSoftware Radically Reinvented A Genre

Niall O'Donoghue Jan 6, 2020 0
A broken warrior trapped in a deep pit, the key to his salvation dropped from above by a mysterious figure in the night. You’d be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the intro to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the latest game from the Dark…

Game Review: Indivisible is a Cracked Pearl Combo of JRPG and Fighting Game

Niall O'Donoghue Nov 15, 2019 0
I was standing in College Green the other day, killing time, and one of the battle themes from Indivisible popped into my head. Once I worked it out, I tried to see how many more I could remember from memory alone; before long, I'd gone…

Catching The Bug: How Hollow Knight Nails The Joy of Discovery

Niall O'Donoghue Nov 6, 2019 1
Fragments of life are dotted around Hallownest, burrowed into hidden nooks and secret passages throughout this kingdom of bugs. A mushroom mumbles to itself in a small fungal cave. Two gossiping beetles share a hot spring bath in a secret…

A Tale of Two Destinies: Revisiting Destiny Five Years On

Niall O'Donoghue Oct 15, 2019 0
The Traveler in the original Destiny is still, over five years later, a breath-taking sight. The monolithic white sphere, so large it has a ring of orbiting debris, dominates the landscape surrounding The Last City. From your vantage point…

Getting Super Hexa-Groovy with Super Hexagon

Niall O'Donoghue Sep 28, 2019 0
It’s 2 AM; I'm both completely wired and completely bollocksed. The only thing keeping me typing these words is the adrenaline (and caffeine) left in my system. It happened again: just one more go of Super Hexagon bled into a marathon…

Prog Rock and Hair Metal | Bayonetta at 10.

Niall O'Donoghue Sep 2, 2019 0

Game Review | Lucah: Born of a Dream Finds Light in the Dark

Niall O'Donoghue Aug 22, 2019 0
Some of the most beautiful and affecting art pieces, whether it’s a song, a film or a game, are those that take a risk, that actively seek to distill an emotion or a feeling into a message that is universal in tone and true in nature.…

Gods of Metal | Brütal Legend at 10.

Niall O'Donoghue Jul 24, 2019 0
It really hits home when Lemmy Kilmister, a.k.a 'The Kill Master', asks Jack Black, here known as the roadie Eddie Riggs, to steal giant bass strings from the lair of a heavy metal spider queen: Brütal Legend is one-of-a-kind. Backed by…

Niall O'Donoghue Jun 28, 2019 0
A battlecry rings out as the words "Full Genie Jacket" slash across the screen. The battlefield freezes as the camera zooms in on Aladdin, here imagined as a gunslinger wielding his magic lamp as a weapon, charging up a powerful shot. The…
