Zydrate’s opening few paragraphs befuddles me. Mainly the second one, which launches into a catch up of someone – I have no initial idea who – I assume is from the original game? Which I have not played. It’s dangerous to assume that your reader has the same base knowledge as you. Besides, if they did, they wouldn’t often need the review you’re writing.

You could probably get away with it, though, if you made your intentions clearer. I’d suggest restructuring the transition between the first and second paragraph to make it the direction you’re leading the discussion into more obvious. You do this well later in you review with some good example work. For example, talking about the towers in such a way to be familiar with returning players but still making sense to people like me who have yet to play any of the series. A lot of the examples you run through are well chosen and well explained. Good, strong ending line, too – good job.

Really, I’m just pleased you sorted the screens out yourself. All centred and everything…

For us. For them. For you.

Thought "him" was obvious to "protagonist", Talion is the PC in both games.
