Ruaraidh - pronounced Roo-Ree - is a Scottish gamer with the name and games to prove it. He enjoys mostly everything, unless it involves exercise, and much prefers to run around inside a good, open-world RPG, being chased across the lands by a horde of monsters after his sweet loot. When he has made his escape, he will often return to the real world to continue playing anything with a good story - indie or otherwise.

  • Road to Ballhalla Review

    Puns and balls. If you asked me to describe Road to Ballhalla quickly it would certainly be that – and in that order. Rather, Road to Ballhalla is a ball puzzle game, you’ve almost certainly played a game like it either from the old days of Newgrounds or on a mobile device. Put simply, you…

  • Stories of Bethem: Full Moon Review

    Stories of Bethem: Full Moon is a game very much similar to the Zelda games of old. A light-hearted fantasy world with a large – and blocked off – map.
