OMG Reviews and Stories
Review – The Gunk
An alien world in the furthest reaches of space becomes the backdrop of The Gunk, an action-adventure that packs an incredibly brief linear campaign, a barebones story, and a lot of dark, gloopy muck to clean. Playing as Rani the player embarks on a mission to eradicate the Gunk from the planet, scavenge resources to craft several useful upgrades, and discover why it has covered the planet in the first place.
Boasting stunning environmental art design, overly simplistic gameplay, and a rather safe and straightforward narrative, The Gunk is a tale of exploration and adventure that is oozing in as much charm as its titular muck that needs to be eradicated from every corner of the mysterious planet.

Review – Nerf Legends
The Hasbro-owned Nerf brand has established itself as one of the most popular range of children’s toys in the form of the foam dart ‘Nerf Blasters’. The products are fun, kid-friendly, and offer a suspicious amount of entertainment for older members of the family who engage in the foam play. That fun, chaotic and exciting action that takes place around the house or the backyard has somehow failed to translate into Nerf Legends. At a time of the year where the term ‘Game of the Year’ is being banded around, Nerf Legends manages to find itself in that conversation only when adding the word ‘worst’ at the beginning of the sentence. Terrible gameplay, bland puzzles, a myriad of bugs, and a completely unplayable multiplayer mode contribute to Nerf Legends being not just one of the worst first-person shooters of 2021, it’s one of the worst games period.
