| Before Your Eyes (PC) |
★★★★☆ |
Amazing experience, very moving. The idea of controlling with eye blinks is very novel. |
| Elden Ring (PS5) |
★★★★★ |
Fantastic game, really enjoyed the almost 100 hour playtrough. The combat, visuals, story etc. come together really nicely, it is great. |
| TOEM (PC) |
★★★★☆ |
A really cute game about taking pictures :) |
| Rogue Legacy 2 (PC) |
★★★☆☆ |
The gameplay is pretty solid, but it starts to feel kind of dull quite fast. |

| Interstellar (2014) |

Murph! |
| The Imitation Game (2014) |
★★★★★ |
Fantastic movie. A little bittersweet due to the misrepresenation of some real life characters though. |
| The Batman (2022) |
★★★★☆ |
Brilliantly made movie, but it is extremely grim. Feels a bit like playing power grid, is it really fun? |
| Moon Knight (2022) |
★★★★☆ |
Very well made, moving character lines. The inclusion of the Egyptian gods is pretty cool too. Something about it felt slightly off, but it is good. |
| Only Murders in the Building (2021) |
★★★★☆ |
Actually really good! Some of the humour is a bit off I think, but overall a great mix of real suspense and genuinely good comedy. |

| Sparkling Cyanide - Christie (1944) |
★★★★☆ |
A thrilling read, everyone has motives. Probably not the most interesting of Christie's works, but a very strong one. |
| The Spike - Humphries (2021) |
★★★★☆ |
A very solid account of how spikes are formed and what they enable, with well placed humour so that you are not just reading a text book. |
