Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Editions have been released as a pack on the PS4. If you’ve never heard of Baldur’s Gate then you’re probably just about young enough to still have hope in your life. They were a big deal in the world of CRPGs when they […]

Street Outlaws: The List is a show on the Discovery Channel apparently. Not that we’d ever heard of it prior to this game. From what we can gather, never having watched it, it’s a hotrod car modding kinda thing. Sorta like Wheeler Dealers crossed with Duck Dynasty if we had […]

In the virtual review room that we at PSC use to dole out review assignments, there is a publisher name that crops up often. Ratalaika, you may know the name if you read the site regularly as we have covered many over the past year or so. Ratalaika is known […]

Just Ignore Them – PS4/Vita Review

Frostpunk is a city-building, survival game that first appeared, to very positive reviews, on the PC last year and has now landed on the two big boy consoles to a degree of anticipation. As with 11 Bit Studios’ other work it’s a technically proficient, well-presented effort that brings some serious […]

When it comes to this console generation and gaming archetypes, few genres have enjoyed such a meteoric rise to success as the rogue-like. There are so many great examples of the genre now that are out and available for the PS4. Rogue Legacy is one of them, a sublime mix […]

Retro-inspired run and gun shooters seem to hit the PSN schedule pretty regularly and Finnish publishers Ratalaika Games have been responsible for a few of them but here we are again reviewing another one, Deep Space Rush. As ever with Ratalaika this is a cross-buy with two very easy platinum […]

We’ve all fished in a game at some point but this is my first foray into a dedicated fishing simulator. Fishing Planet has been a fairly accomplished free-to-play effort that’s found a home on the Playstation Store for the past couple of years. Now the powers that be have decided […]

From Mobius Digital by way of Annapurna Interactive comes Outer Wilds. Released on Xbox & PC as a timed exclusive back in May, Outer Wilds (as opposed to the very similarly named Outer Worlds also on current release) is set upon a wonderfully rustic alien planetoid named Timber Hearth. Said […]

With the Vita barely surviving on Ratalaika scraps the Trails series of games has had to jump to the PlayStation 4. I reviewed The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and it’s sequel on the handheld and found them to be fantastic JRPGs, reminding me of a time when […]

We’ve been fans of the Jackbox series ever since it first arrived on PS4 and as a group the writers and our mates have had many a good session on these games before. Of course, these all lead to pretty much the most offensive humour ever because we’re idiots but this […]

No Pest Productions came to our attention with A Bastard’s Tale. Their tricky debut placed an emphasis on skill and deliberateness but a steep challenge and a short experience left Gareth feeling down on it. Driven Out is hoping to offer something meatier with an appealing art style and a […]

Stellatum is the latest addition to the PS4’s large roster of shoot ’em ups and comes to us by way of Satur Games. As ever, the plot is paper thin in these sort of games but involves you facing off with different races of aliens, all of whom coming in […]
