There is an undeniable feeling of helplessness that can be experienced with playing Hunt Showdown. The latest effort from the team at Crytek is designed at its very core to be one of the most unforgiving experiences ever made. With every small action having the potential to warrant an equal […]

Hunt Showdown – PS4 Review

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: […]

Remnant: From the Ashes – PS4 Review

I swear there was a point in the 90’s where Japanese game shows like Endurance got a lot of curious late night coverage. The last one to truly transition over here was probable Hole in the Wall. The premise was easy enough to grasp with contestants trying to fit themselves […]

As online games with survival mechanics go, very few licenses can apply themselves better than the world of Fallout. The gaunt, state-sized wastelands devastated by decades of post nuclear decay make an excellent staging point for this kind of title. Especially when considering that Fallout is a franchise that covets […]

Fallout 76 – PS4 Review

I often wonder why mobile ports attract the wrath they do. Having covered a few, there always seems to be some substance to them, whilst simplified in controls and a little lacking in presentation. I’ve rarely seen it feel so wrong to hold it against a product. Timber Tennis Versus, […]

Three years ago, on this very website, I reviewed a game called Bombing Busters. This was a game that wore its heart on its sleeve and was almost identical in premise to its inspiration in Bomberman. The key factor at the time however, that despite the many flaws that Bombing […]

It’s difficult to tell how a team-based car combat will turn out. Onrush comes from the ashes of Evolution Studios who were once at the helm of the Motorstorm franchise. Some members of staff joined Codemasters who themselves have some pedigree with racing games. It seems like a good recipe […]

Racing games have been a dime a dozen for years and it must be hard for smaller efforts to stand out. We’ve seen indie efforts in the recent past go for something a little more leftfield and now Supergonk have taken to the tarmac with a fantastical racer with a […]

At some point, we all played dodgeball in school. We all remember how it feels to be pegged square between the eyes and would prefer only our ego was bruised. Thankfully, plenty of games have taken the idea of such competition to heart and the latest to hop across is […]

There’s something oddly appropriate about reviewing this around Armistice weekend. Call of Duty: WWII has decided to revisit its roots with a historical setting. Activision and Sledgehammer are hoping the nostalgia can tempt lapsed fans back to the ailing franchise. As one of those myself, I approached this with caution. […]

Speedrunners is a new release on PS4 from DoubleDutch Games and allows you to put your platforming skills to the test against other players. If you’ve enjoyed Super Meat Boy or N+ at any point then you’ll feel right at home here. This is strictly a competitive game. You do […]

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 […]
