Aaero is a rhythm action game from two-man English dev crew Mad Fellows. It was released elsewhere back in April but European gamers finally got the chance to pick it up earlier this month which led to it showing up on our radar and we’re glad it did. Like many […]

Aaero – PS4 Review

It’s not really fair to treat this one as a review as Rollercoaster Legends isn’t actually a game but rather a VR experience that offers you no actual control over what is happening. It comes to us from VR specialists Warducks, whose last PSVR project was the thin but very enjoyable Sneaky Bears […]

Rollercoaster Legends – PSVR

31 Dec, 2017 in Mini Reviews by Richie

A new VR experience has arrived on PSVR thanks to Bit Planet Games in the form of a flight sim. Ultrawings is a little more user friendly than that may sound but if you have Move controllers then you get to flick switches, press buttons and fondle your joystick. You […]

Ultrawings – PSVR Review

I’ve never been a Battlestar Galactica fan but games like Homeworld and the absolutely insane subterfuge of Eve Online make me green with envy over tactical space sims. Always nice to look at, I’ve rarely turned my hand at playing them. Slitherine’s Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock provides me with an introduction […]

Xenon Valkyrie+ is a retro tinged, 2D platformer, rogue-lite. We’ve had a boat load of rogue-lites, and rogue-likes, and in such a heavily saturated genre doing something to stand out from the crowd can be pretty tricky. Presentation is very good in Xenon Valkyrie+ and right from the title screen […]

Xenon Valkyrie+ – Vita Review

As VR concepts go, the idea of stepping into a surrealist fever dream conjured by the minds of Rick and Morty and The Stanley Parable is almost too tempting to pass up. Accounting+ is described on the PSN store page as being a “Nightmare Adventure Comedy” and it lives up […]

I’ve played lots of games and lots of games that aren’t traditional games. Papers, Please is up there as one of the oddest I’ve played. Based in a fictional eastern European Soviet State you take the role of a border control immigration officer, working within the system to allow or refuse entry […]

Papers, Please – Vita Review

There can be no doubt that Sony’s box of tricks has had what Tori Amos might call a pretty good year. So much so that we’ve decided we should dish out some awards for our favourites. Initially we had thought about splitting our votes between disc and digital games but […]

Super Hydorah is an authentically retro-flavoured horizontal shoot ’em up from Spanish one-man dev studio Locomalito and is out now for PS4 and Vita as a cross-buy title. It is very much a game that is aware of the history that preceded it. This extends to all aspects of the […]

Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery is another Artifex Mundi game and the follow up to Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom which I rather liked. As with all their other output this is a hidden object puzzle game and very much sticks to the template laid down in previous games. If you’ve played one […]

We never have to wait long for a roguelike 16-bit action adventure game and One More Dungeon is the latest one to arrive on PSN after a couple years of floating around on Steam. It was put together by Stately Snail, a two-man Russian studio, and is available now as […]

Tokyo Tattoo Girls is a strategy game released on Vita from Sushi Typhoon Games. It involves giving anime girls tattoos in order to give them stronger powers. What’s not to like about that? After a catastrophe Tokyo has been quarantined and separated into twenty-three wards. Girls throughout Tokyo have started […]
