When I first downloaded Dogurai I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the name actually tells you quite a bit, at least about the character you play as. You play as a samurai who is also a dog. One of the those ‘Ooooh’ moments you get when playing games, but […]

Capcom continue to release the older Mega Man games in collection form on the PS4. We’ve had the Mega Man games split into two collections, the Mega Man X games split into two collections and now we have the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Judging by the previous two being […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
