Above, Inspector Jenks being his usual, almost excessively, debonair self. Contradiction is an FMV game along the lines of Phoenix Wright, except that you’re a police inspector and not trying to fight against the most inhumane court system imaginable.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is pitched as a low fantasy RPG where you play as just “a guy” in medieval times. I’m not usually one to play such games, but Bannerlord (which I still think back to, despite the faults I pointed out) made me reconsider – after all, clawing your way up from serfdom sounded vaguely interesting.

It’s been a while since I’ve put anything into Tier Three, and I’m sad I have to do it to this game.

Halo: Reach is a bad game – a very bad game, in fact. But at least the port to PC is fantastic…mostly.
