I really enjoyed Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun back when I reviewed it three years ago. I haven’t played the first two Desperados games (or the third expansion-esque one) but quickly found myself at home with Desperados III as it very much feels like a sequel to Shadow Tactics […]

I feel like sniping’s one of the coolest things you can do in a shooter. It will always look precise, patient and require great timing. It’s funny how I’ve tended to avoid games that revolve entirely around it. Along comes GI Games’ Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts to break me in […]

From Tessera Studios comes a new VR compatible, but not VR exclusive, sneak-em-up. Intruders: Hide and Seek offers a great premise, managing to make you feel rather helpless and vulnerable, but how does the whole package come together? You play as Ben, a thirteen year old boy, who has travelled […]

Io Interactive’s been working on the Hitman series for 18 years now. With Hitman 2 hitting stores late last year, they’ve also used the uptake in interest to re-release two of the series’ older titles. The Hitman HD Enhanced Collection bundles together fan-favourite Hitman Blood Money with black sheep Hitman Absolution in […]

After reviewing Jagged Alliance: Rage! recently I have quickly got the opportunity to review yet another tactics game for PS4. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden again takes the formula from the XCOM reboot and puts its own spin on things. As well as a unique setting the game offers […]

Jagged Alliance has a long history. The first two games are seen as tactical classics but since then there have been multiple attempts to revive the franchise that have fallen flat. Now it’s the turn of Jagged Alliance: Rage! to try and bring the series back and maybe pave the […]

Originally a Kickstarted project for PC, Hover has arrived on PS4 and promises an open world, free running game inspired by the likes of Jet Set Radio and Mirror’s Edge. Looking at the screenshots you can probably tell which influence is stronger, but can the developers at Fusty Game turn […]

From CreativeForge comes Phantom Doctrine on the PS4. To look at the pictures you may think it to be a game in the vein of the recent XCOM titles, but you’d only be partially right. There are similarities but also many differences that make it a unique game in its […]

2016’s Aragami was a third-person stealth action game that was reasonably well received and caught our interest because it looked like the Tenchu game we’ve always wanted on the PS4. It told the story of Aragami, the titular supernatural assassin who used darkness to navigate the game’s world and to take out the […]

ECHO is an enticing prospect, a sci-fi stealth game where you are pitted against an adaptive AI which learns from your actions. Coming from developers Ultra Ultra who are made up from ex IO Interactive staff there are clear influences from the stealth action of the Hitman games. I like a bit of […]

Described as a cross between Grand Theft Auto and Syndicate, Mode7’s latest game Tokyo 42 comes to the PS4 after already establishing a reputation on PC and Xbox One. Being compared to the greatest isometric game ever, and the second best GTA (GTA V being the best) is no joke […]

The sequel to the 2015 title The Escapists has landed on the PS4. The Escapists 2 promises more of the same, but improved in every way. That can only be a good thing, right? As the title may give away you play as a convict who must find a way […]
