To paraphrase Sean Bean, one does not simply review an EDF game. I’m about to do it here with Earth Defense Force 5 and tell you what I’ve found out after dozens of hours of play but the fact is that these games tend to take a while to come into […]

Battle Chef Brigade landed on Switch and PC late last year and has now arrived on the PS4. If you imagine all those cooking shows where people cook under a time limit in order to impress judges then you’ll have a vague idea of the premise, but these chefs have […]
Battle Chef Brigade – PS4 Review
Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is a new RPG/management game for PS4. You’re the new principal at a school for wannabe heroes and you’re in charge of everything from building upgrades, equipment crafting, which missions to attend to, what classes the students become and who graduates. You get to name […]
Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story – PS4 Review
It’s been over eight years since the last Mega Man game. The Blue Bomber saw a slight resurgence during the PS3/360 era and the NES styled Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 launched under three years apart. I loved Mega Man 9 but 10 came a bit too soon […]
Mega Man 11 – PS4 Review
Sega’s Yakuza series has been going strong for over a decade now with players in the West now receiving the games at a steady rate. After a small delay, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life finally takes to store shelves with a new engine under the hood. Long-time series protagonist […]
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life – PS4 Review
I reviewed the PS4 release of The Witch and the Hundred Knight a couple of years ago. It had the strong visual and audio design you’d expect from a Nippon Ichi title, but with a real time action RPG engine instead of the tactical style fans of Disgaea were used […]
The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 – PS4 Review
Casing aside their musou sensibilities, 2016’s Attack on Titan saw Omega Force receive praise for their representation of the popular anime. Japanese developers in general have been under a great resurgence and, with that, Western audiences have become more receptive to what they have to offer. With that in mind, […]
Attack on Titan 2 – PS4 Review
We reviewed Bleed just under half a year ago on its PS4 release and enjoyed it a great deal. Although on the short side the controls were tight and the boss fights required your full attention to best. Bleed 2 has now landed with the same one man team behind […]
Bleed 2 – PS4 Review
There was a time in the 80’s where movies about kids meeting up with unlikely companions were all the rage. I’m still nostalgic for them and Spiral House are hoping you are too. Troll and I looks to re-enforce those feelings whilst providing an action adventure with plenty of ambition. The […]
Troll and I – PS4 Review
Those who have played Super Meat Boy may recognise Flywrench as an unlockable character. Originally a free title back in 2007 this more substantial release came to PC in 2015 and now here it is on the PS4. As the association with Super Meat Boy might imply this is an […]
Flywrench – PS4 Review
Motor Strike: Immortal Legends isn’t your standard racing game, in fact there is an argument to be made that this isn’t even a racing game. The game markets itself as an action racer and the emphasis is firmly on the action part of things. Things look nice enough with a […]
Motor Strike: Immortal Legends – PS4 Review
Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair isn’t a game you should get into lightly. Sure, on the face of it, it’s a big, bold, silly b-movie of a game where you play as humanity’s last line of defence against hordes of giant insects, robots and other sci-fi […]
