The Gunk - Review

Gav spent some time playing 2022 platformer The Gunk; check out what he thought:

You are a space-scrapper duo who touch down on a wasteland planet covered in weird goo chasing an energy signal, and the player character has a giant hoover for a hand. The outcome seems obvious – time to start sucking up gunk. As you absorb it the land seems to be recovering, and you uncover the mysteries of this barren planet. There’s a lot to like about The Gunk, and the visuals and music are…

Gav has spent a not inconsiderable length of time playing Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising since its release, and has stuff to say about it. Check out his review:

In the space of two months, we’re getting two international releases for spin-offs of mobile game Granblue Fantasy. One of them is the fighting game I’ve been pouring hours into since late December (and which I’m reviewing here) — Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. The other is action-RPG Granblue Fantasy Relink. Weirdly enough you can’t actually play the ‘original’ Granblue Fantasy, one of the OG…
