It feels rather odd to make a review for a free to play game, after all, it’s free, you can always download it and try it for yourself should you want to gather a verdict. There is also the issue of the live service model that EA is touting with […]

Our Finish friends, Ratalaika Games, are back with any cross-buy, easy platinum offering title. While that part of a Ratalaika joint is very predictable, you can never predict what type of game they publish next and Access Denied is yet another departure. Developed by Russian coders Stately Snail, this is a […]
Access Denied – PS4 Review
1 Dick Wilde 2 is an on-rails lightgun-style shooter for PSVR. When London-based coders Playstack released the original Dick Wilde onto PSN back in 2017 the general concensus was that it had the makings of being a fun shooter but was derailed somewhat by its punishing level of difficulty and so […]
Dick Wilde 2 – PSVR Review
Codemasters have been producing racing games for decades now and it’s fair to say they’ve managed to carve out a reputation as a safe pair of hands. 2015’s DiRT Rally was a foray back into the rugged wilds of rallying without flashbacks and delivering a stern driving challenge. Now a […]

ChromaGun VR is, as the name suggests, a PSVR update of Pixel Maniacs’ original ChromaGun game, a colour-based puzzler that has been around on iOS and computers for a few years but made its way to the PS4 in 2017. The game is a straight port of the original with […]

From indie developer Moondrop comes puzzle platformer Degrees of Separation. Nothing to do with Kevin Bacon though. Nor is it based on a dismal tug of love custody battle TV movie with Stockard Channing. Instead the separation is between Ember (summer/fire girl) and Rime (winter/ice boy), each of which affect […]

1 Rym 9000 is a vertically scrolling shooter that comes from enigmatic Moroccan solo dev Sonoshee and taps into a retro aesthetic that is both recognisable but also one that never really existed. Confused? Well stick with us. The game’s intro that explains that Rym 9000 is a highly-treasured commodity that […]

Have you ever looked at an entertainment experience and thought to yourself “who is this for”? That was me last week as I played Shanky: The Vegan’s Nightmare by Artvision games. You can already judge the game by its title for the most part, it seems to be advertised purely […]

3 From the people who brought us numerous Neptunia titles comes a new JRPG/visual novel mix, Death end re;Quest. Mixing new ideas with a familiar feel, Compile Heart have stepped out from the safety of Neptune and her pals into a more serious arena but can the cutesy characters and serious […]

3 Steins;Gate Elite is this reviewer’s first encounter with this peculiarly Japanese genre, the visual novel. Steins;Gate was the second game in the Science Adventure series, following on from 2008’s Chaos;Head. For those not familiar with this game type, they are typically text heavy with static images. Steins;Gate Elite is something […]

Henchman and Goon are a Norwegian developer whose first game, Pode found a home on the Nintendo Switch last year. Despite some technical issues, it was warmly received. Now on the Playstation 4, the technical issues appear to have been brushed aside and the game has managed to maintain a […]
