We’re two years into the life-cycle of Sony’s PSVR system and here at PlayStation Country we’ve reviewed a lot of games for it which makes us feel as though the hardware is being supported. However, the big knock on PSVR is that the games aren’t as fully fleshed-out as they […]

This sequel to 2015’s Guns, Gore & Cannoli is four man Belgian dev crew Crazy Monkey Studios’ latest PSN release and follows on from its predecessor by offering up some fun and frantic run and gun shooting action. Mobster Vinnie Cannoli returns once again as the lone survivor of the […]

Atomine from Broken Arms Games is a twin stick shooter. Something that we’re quite used to seeing on PSN these days. Especially as it also has procedurally generated levels with rogue-lite mechanics. However, there is also a storyline of sorts, which is about the real-life Stuxnet internet worm. This is largely […]

I Hate Running Backwards is an endless runner/shoot ’em up from Croatian coders Binx Interactive and was formed around an idea or rather just a quote. “I hate running backwards” was uttered by Serious Sam in the game of the same name. Now I played Serious Sam back on the PC when […]

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 […]

Son of Scoregasm is a twin-stick shooter from one-man developer Charlie’s Games and is very much a love letter to the genre. Not in any poetic sense, but rather in the way that the game distills the genre down to its roots and focuses on all the best aspects while […]

End Space is a PSVR-only space shooter from Canadian VR specialists, Orange Bridge, and it has plenty in common with other space-based titles for the headset such as Space Rift and the Eve games. It all has reminds us of the VR mission in Star Wars: Battlefront. It’ll be no […]

Time Recoil is the latest joint for 10TonsLtd, a developer that we’ve been following for a while here and it follows the template set by one of their earlier games, Neon Chrome, which you might know as a recent PS+ freebie. After cutting their teeth on basic physics puzzle/arcade games […]

Bleed was released over four years ago on the PC and now it has made its way to the PS4. It checks all the boxes for an indie game, but does its simplicity work in its favour? The world has shown its gratitude to its heroes with a Hall of […]

PlayStation VR owners will have been happy to see Arizona Sunshine hitting the store as it offers a full campaign and somewhat unrestricted movement rather than just being another turret/on-rail shooter. Personally, we’re just as happy to see blue skies and linear level design because we’re old school like that. […]

Judging this game solely on it’s cover, I was expecting Get Even to be a ballsy revenge shooter. Luckily, there’s more substance to it from a studio that does tend to stray into shooting territory with supernatural elements. Coming from Polish developers The Farm 51, Get Even looks to tell […]

Another twin-stick shooter with a bit of levelling up? Yes, Demon’s Crystals isn’t going to be winning any awards for originality and this little arcade shooter has an absolute tonne of competition on PSN already – I’m pretty sure we review at least one a month – so let’s keep […]
