ninjarefinery.com is built around two pillars. Gaming and Coffee. The crossover of the two is obvious to me. Marathon gaming sessions require a natural boost. Caffeine is that hit, and coffee is so rich and deep in the flavours and ways to brew/drink. You’re spoiled for choice. I’ve written posts about it many times, I’ve […]
We’re back on our Monster Hunter World bullshit, and I’ll be honest, it feels great to make a return after a good chunk of time away. I’ve already written about the resurgence of players coming to Monster Hunter World over at Fullsync.co.uk but I think there’s a lot more to be said for those just […]
I bloody loved Cyberpunk 2077. Sure it landed with a thud and CD Projekt Red have been making up for it ever since. But they got it into a decent place, and I spent a massive amount of time following V down the Johnny Silverhand Rabbit hole. It was a long time but I felt […]
I’ve written plenty about 2018’s Spider-Man game, and then the DLC. Followed by the Miles Morales game, which was essentially a big DLC if we’re being honest. So I don’t want to re-review it that’s kind of pointless, and the facts still remain. Spider-Man is a fantastic game and Insomniac games did an incredible job. […]
Neon White seems to be taking the gaming world by storm. A game I’d not really heard of or considered in any way, then suddenly it’s on every podcast I’m listening to. I’m seeing Neon White speed run tournaments and people obsessing over their runs. I’m no speed runner, but I do like a game […]
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 […]
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 […]
Animal Crossing is a series that I’ve had very very little to do with over the years. Apart from the mobile game that I got bored of quite quickly, I’ve never really given it a chance. I know that people that are into it, are really really into it. I know the bells are a […]
A mantra used in so many methodologies, from project management to development of software and plans for meetings/sessions. What about games, though? Plan, Do, Review. It’s clear, it’s concise and it’s remarkably effective. A cycle, not a linear map to follow. As soon as you hit the “review” phase, you go back to planning your […]
Anthem isn’t a game I’ve been particularly fussed about if I’m honest. Another online loot shooter with rpg elements…..it isn’t exactly breaking the mould, right? Well, yes and no. Thanks to a friend code, I was able to download the demo and jump in for a couple of hours over the weekend. Having not really […]
