Eventide 2: Sorcerer’s Mirror is another outing for the hidden object game developers Artifex Mundi.  We’ve reviewed a few of these now and I generally enjoy them.  They offer a relaxing way to spend a few hours on light puzzles and a dramatic story.  I understand these wont be for everyone […]

Eventide 2: Sorcerer’s Mirror – PS4 Review

The humble top-down racer is a genre that gets revisited quite often these days and even the much-loved Micro Machines received a recent remastering this year (albeit not a very good one). For us though, Mantis Burn Racing represents the best modern example of this type of game and it […]

Before I get into talking about 36 Fragments of Midnight go and make yourself a brew have a sit down, get comfy.  Chances are that if you had to walk to your kettle get the milk leave the tea bag to brew for a minute or two it has taken you around six […]

36 Fragments of Midnight – Vita Review

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 – PS4 Review

Indie games and roguelikes go hand in hand and you’re never too far away from another release.  NeverEnd is, as you may have guessed, an indie roguelike and what makes this stand out from the crowd is the fact the map is limitless, or if you prefer it is a […]

NeverEnd – Vita Review

Developed by Aist, DreamBreak seems to offer players a Flashback style adventure, with retro graphics, a dystopian future and conspiracy. What you actually get is an interesting but very flawed mishmash. You play as Eugene, a janitor who is dragged into a revolution against his will. This leads him through […]

Time Recoil is the latest joint for 10TonsLtd, a developer that we’ve been following for a while here and it follows the template set by one of their earlier games, Neon Chrome, which you might know as a recent PS+ freebie.  After cutting their teeth on basic physics puzzle/arcade games […]

Time Recoil – PS4 Review

A PC release in 2015, Planet of  the Eyes has seen a re-release on the Playstation 4. Wearing it’s inspiration like a second layer of skin, can this interesting, flawed platformer find enough of it’s own identity to distinguish itself?
