Arguably the highest profile release at the start of this new generation is Demon’s Souls. How it’s come to this I don’t know, a remake of game that at one point wasn’t even going to be released in the West has come to spearhead the exclusive line up at a […]

I quite like the time based platformer genre. Super Meat Boy is the best example, but I’ve enjoyed Shio on the PS4 and 10 Second Ninja X is a good example of a game that isn’t just about platforming but disposing of enemies in a timely fashion too. Damsel has […]

Reflection of Mine is a puzzle game from those proprietors of easy platinums Ratalaika Games and one that continues the prolific publisher’s pattern of putting out incredibly varied titles. This stylish puzzler uses a similar idea to games like Brothers in that you control two characters at the same time as […]

Exp Parasite is not an RPG like the name might suggest. Although I couldn’t see it anywhere in the game apparently the ‘Exp’ is short for ‘Experimental’ rather than ‘Experience’ as you play as a parasite who can control mechanical objects and must do so to progress through ten challenging, […]

Cuphead has been out on various formats for many, many years now but it’s finally arrived on PS4. Everyone who is interested will know about the visuals and difficulty, but was it worth the wait? You play as Cuphead or his brother Mugman, or both in local two player, after […]

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 […]

The Surge 2 came out just over three months ago and I enjoyed it. As with the first title Deck13 are supporting the sequel with DLC and the first has just arrived called The Kraken. Be aware that the DLC requires you to be at the latter stages of the […]

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 […]

The Surge was alright. The limb severing combat was an enjoyable take on the Souls formula and the sci-fi setting made it stand out. It was not without its problems however, with too many similar environments that became a chore to navigate. Deck13 have taken the criticism on board and […]

Dark Souls gets thrown around as a comparison far too much these days. Any game which has the audacity to kill you (in game, obviously) is automatically compared to From Software’s now classic series and as such it’s lost most of its meaning. Annoyingly I now have to compare Remnant: […]

Slay the Spire has been around for a long time on PC, working through early access to balance and improve the gameplay, but now the full version has hit PS4 and fans of challenging roguelikes and turn based card battling are in for a treat. There is no story really, […]

From Software are back with another game in the Souls mould. Much like Bloodborne before it Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice makes some major changes to how the game plays whilst keeping the the atmosphere and exploration that makes the likes of Dark Souls 3 so popular. What are those changes […]
