Rob is a teacher, a father, a husband and a gamer. He's been the latter for longer than the former 3 combined. Probably. He likes pretty much every genre, but puzzle platformers tend to upset his brain.

You take on the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison as she attempts to take down Dr. Heskel, an evil scientist who has released a horde of cybernetic soldiers into the city of Neo D.C. That’s about as much plot as you’re getting.

Freakout: Calamity TV Show — Just how calamitous is it?

Rob Covell May 5, 2020 0

Sayonara Wild Hearts — The Zodiac Riddles

Rob Covell Mar 15, 2020 0

These worded puzzles hide challenges if you can only figure out what they’re telling you to do. Seeing as they are tied to the achievements and trophies in Xbox and PlayStation releases, solving them is even more appealing. So join me as we…

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions ー Glass Effect

Rob Covell Feb 28, 2020 0

This sounds like it might make the puzzles a little too easy, but believe me when I say that this isn’t the case. The puzzle pieces are all complex shapes which means finding a logical position for them isn’t exactly simple.
