All things gaming
Mobile games aren’t always my bag. It’s nice to have something to help noodle the time away when you’re sat in a waiting room or something, but largely I’ve not dabbled with games on mobile phones for a good while. But when YouTube forces adverts down your throat, sometimes something sticks. Enter Age of Origins. […]
Final Fantasy VII is the only Final Fantasy game I’ve completed. I did a lot of hours, spent a long time getting my golden Chocobo to get Knights of the round summon, side quests for Vincent and Yuffie and a million other things I can barely remember. In fact, my earliest memories of Final Fantasy […]
I love the XCOM series. The modern variant, anyway. I can’t claim to have been a lifelong fan or anything, but I’ve been a fan/victim since I started to play XCOM: Enemy Unknown on my Xbox 360. Turn-based tactical sci-fi war. It really hits a specific spot for me. Topped-off by the fact that Firaxis […]
Elden Ring is obviously a massive game, with a massive following. From a developer that can do no wrong. I’ve been skeptical at best, but found myself being sucked further and further into it. Last time I wrote here, I claimed that I was kinda over it. Shortly after the post went live, I made […]
Ever play a game that’s so simple that it seems absurd that it takes up all of your time? Vampire Survivors is just that. I went to give it a 10 minute test before I started to plan writing this quick look. Wanted to get a quick idea what it was about so I could […]
Elden Ring is the hot topic right now, and that of course means I got wrapped-up in the hype and wanted to give it a blast. From the creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. From Software have gone open-world in their typical dark fantasy kinda way. I’m sceptical about the rave […]
This is just a quick one but a worthwhile note on how ratings are changing a little here at Ninja Refinery. I’ve reviewed and rated plenty of games, coffee and peripherals and found myself largely happy not using a score-based system. I don’t agree with scores, and wrote about it a while ago but it […]
Following on from my initial thoughts, I’ve added another 15 or so hours to my playthrough and think I can add some meat to the bones of my Horizon Forbidden West review. As a reminder, this is the PS4 version, which is arguably the worst experience available. But it’s not showing any real kinds of […]
I played about 20 hours of Horizon Zero Dawn and dropped-off. Not for any grand reason, i just didn’t come back to it one day. Since then I’ve pondered trying again, but only ever got a couple of hours in here and there. Enter Horizon Forbidden West. The sequel to the massive PlayStation hit. My […]
How on earth does someone describe Inscryption? Let me tell you now, I’d heard a lot about it, but didn’t really know what it was. So I thought it would be easier to play it and explain it from there. I was wrong. Inscryption is a gem, it’s creepy, clever, fun and well…..it’s Inscryption. I’m […]
