‘Chaos on Deponia’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Chris Thomas

I am a 30 something (pushing 40 something) who owned an Amiga and wasn’t allowed to own a games console back when the Amiga was a thing. The Amiga was a brilliant machine, with terrible anti-piracy protection, but to be fair the state of the games on those floppy disks was so poor you genuinely […]

by Nathan Favel

Welcome to this week’s Monday Night Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and the critics [not us – editor Phil] hate The Rise Of Skywalker more than real people hated The Last Jedi, because it wasn’t a pretentious Star Trek knock-off in disguise.

‘Astronomy Club’ Review (Netflix)
