All things gaming
This is madness, I can’t remember the last time I was so hooked on a game. Let alone a game that isn’t finished, and is deemed by many (like…..a lot) people as “unplayable”. However, here we are, PUBG is still the dominant force in my gaming time. Truth is, knowing that no game in PUBG […]
I’ll be honest, up until this morning, I was ready to just give up on No Man’s Sky. To be clear, though, it isn’t because it’s not a good game, it’s just because the whole mining and crafting thing just isn’t my idea of fun. Discovering and naming systems and planets is really cool, and […]
I was fortunate enough to get in on the final technical alpha for Sea of Thieves, just before Christmas. Being such an early build, we were under a non-disclosure agreement, and couldn’t share anything about the experience. The new (and now slightly extended) closed beta is a different story though! Being encouraged to play and […]
I set myself up for this review, in my previous Uncharted 4 post. Basically ruining the score, because I can’t help but gush over how good a game this is, and how much I love this series. If you’re only interested in the score, it’s getting “Exceptional”, simple (first game ever to do that here!). […]
No Man’s Sky is a game you can ask people about, and likely hear some kind of negative spin on how it “wasn’t everything that was promised at launch” or how it just isn’t good. I guess, if you followed the hype leading up to the game (Sony did seem to be really pushing it […]
I’m about 20 hours deep in Uncharted 4 and I’m moments away from finishing it. Initially I was going to do my usual 3-part review of “Initial thoughts”, “further thoughts” and “final thoughts”, but some games deserve more than that. Also, I’ve spent so long taking screenshots, I need more time to pick out the […]
2018 has seen a pretty slow content-feed so far. With the Christmas break, work, a holiday and doing a part-time degree at the same time, things sometimes get put onto the back-burner whilst real life has to take priority. That’s not to say I’ve stopped writing or playing, it just means that the time I […]
It’s hard to not keep writing about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, even though I have so much else to play and talk about, PUBG is always beckoning for just a couple more games. I can’t quite pinpoint the appeal, or why this holds so much more of my attention that Fortnite Battle Royale did, but it does. […]
I have a pretty incredible wife, and because of that, Ninja Refinery can now start to cover PlayStation 4 titles! With all the console exclusives available, this is a massive game-changer. Not just to play games, but to compare the hardware, the operating systems, the online services, everything. Not only that, but where possible, we […]
2017 is dead, but it’s worth looking back on. It was a big year for Ninja Refinery. In fact, whilst the site existed, and posts were made, it was the birth and proper realisation of the site. It’s been great! More importantly, I played some great games, some of which were released in 2017, most […]
