Shadow of Mordor - Middle Earth Review

Introduction:

Wow, where to start with this game? It’s just amazing — one of my all-time favourites so far. As a big Lord of the Rings fan, I couldn’t wait for its release after watching the trailers, and it did not disappoint!

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Review

Introduction:

Death Stranding never really appealed to me when I first tried the Director’s Cut version on Epic Games. What eventually swayed me to try Death Stranding 2 was a recommendation from one of my gaming friends. That spark of curiosity turned into a leap of faith, and I decided to order it from Amazon to see if the sequel could win me over.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review

Introduction:

After loving the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider, I couldn’t wait to dive into its sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider. At first, I held off because the price felt too steep — but after about three months, I grabbed the base game for £19 from CD-Key.com. While I don’t usually buy new releases so soon, this one was just too tempting to resist.

The game also came with a Season Pass (which I don’t own), but honestly, it felt overpriced for the amount of content on offer, and for PlayStation fans, the biggest frustration at the time was that the game still wasn’t available on PS4.

Mafia: The Old Country Review

Introduction:

Mafia: The Old Country is an immersive, story-driven adventure that transports players into a world of loyalty, betrayal, and survival. From the very first mission, the game grips you with its authentic Sicilian setting and a narrative that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Review

A Lucky Win:

I’ve entered daily competitions for years, winning everything from small prizes to a trip to Liverpool. This time, I won something different: a video game.

While browsing Allkeyshop — usually just for price comparisons — I stumbled across their daily Gleam competition. At first, I doubted it was legitimate, but then an email arrived saying I had won Mass Effect: Andromeda. Five days later, the key landed in my inbox, ready to redeem on Origin.

I’m not usually a sci-fi gamer, preferring fantasy worlds like The Witcher 3 or Dragon’s Dogma, and I hadn’t played the original Mass Effect trilogy. Still, I was curious to try this £39.99 title (at launch) and see what it had to offer.
