Whenever I read reviews, I always try to get an idea of how long the reviewer has played the game for. Have they really given the game a chance? Did they persevere to see if there was any gold past a bumpy start? So believe me when I say I…
Unlike a lot of games I play or review, it almost feels like Hollow Knight: Silksong requires no introduction. Its massively successful prequel, Hollow Knight, came out over seven years ago, and immediately impressed with its world…
As a child, I was absolutely obsessed with Postman Pat. To this day, I have a small Postman Pat mailvan on my collectables shelf from my childhood that has survived. According to my mother, I used to point at every Royal Mail van and lorry,…
Other changes are minor, but welcome. You no longer need to buy soap if you want to use it. Instead you have a reserve that refills over time which means you don’t have to waste money on replacing it. This is nice considering soap really…
To a T has all the right elements you'd expect from a Keita Takahashi game. It is earnest, charming, simple and full of the act of play, both mechanically and aesthetically. The music is joyous and the visuals are a lovely mishmash of…
Anyway, spooky things do happen, and you’ll be under threat from them before too long. Keeping the doors closed is easy enough as there aren’t any shenanigans involving them beyond you opening or closing them to pass through. The jukebox,…
Spongebob Squarepants: Titans of the Tide is a single player platforming adventure game that is highly reminiscent of the PS2 classic, Battle for Bikini Bottom. Featuring all of the beloved characters you know well from the series it’s jam…
Labyrinthine on PlayStation 5 is a co-op horror experience that trades jump scares for slow dread and linear, scripted scares for disorientation and existential panic. Originally released on PC, this console edition brings the full package…
The purpose of ROAM agents is to investigate people for anything that might be opposed to this regime by diving into their memories to find any evidence of wrongdoing. Daniel’s initial investigation into someone seemingly stealing from work…
Fairly by the numbers so far, but the issue is that the combat is so utterly lacklustre. It doesn’t matter which weapon you use, nothing feels like it has any impact at all thanks to the outrageously floaty feeling controls and impossible…
One of the selling points of Puzzle Quest was that it was a match-3 puzzle game with an RPG style plot, and whilst it certainly has that, it’s pretty standard fantasy fare with you having to save the kingdom from an evil lord and their…
Action, Rhythm and Arcade Racing: Music Drive has it all. Arcade racers are almost a thing of the past nowadays, left behind as we continue in our mission for more realistic simulators. Forza, Gran Turismo and the Formula 1 games are among…
Ready or Not on Xbox Series X feels like a deliberate throwback to a more considered era of tactical gameplay. It tasks you to slow down, think, and act with precision — and while it doesn’t always hit the mark, it’s certainly aiming at a…
Car designs are fabulous, and the tracks feel like bonkers cityscapes in a technology-gone-mad future and I really like how the art style comes together as something really fitting for the type of game the devs are going for.
I quite like Warhammer. I quite like video games. Naturally, when Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was announced, my head almost exploded from the sheer hype and anticipation (Yes, I was, and still am a grown man). This was back in 2021,…
Dead by Daylight continues to churn out content, and as you may have read from my previous review of DbD and its Five Nights at Freddy's chapter, I am a huge, huge fan of this franchise. I'll do my best to set my bias aside in this review,…
Well now, Splitgate 2 has certainly come out to one hell of a reception eh? Ian Proulx, CEO of 1047 Games who develops Splitgate 2, came onstage while at Summer Games Fest and boldly told us that the FPS market is stale, and he's sick of…
Nico Saves The State slid into my inbox this week, and it initially made me suck air between my teeth. I'll be one of the first to admit that puzzle games, platformers and me usually don't mix. I can rarely handle anything more complicated…
