Red Bow is the latest Ratalaika joint. Coming from London-based solo dev Stranga Games, this follows My Big Sister and Just Ignore Them graphically as well as thematically. Sadly, the title of their last game Just Ignore Them proved strangely prophetic as we’re beginning to see diminishing returns from Stranga. […]

Football, Tactics and Glory is obviously a football game and that’s a risky proposition for developers and publishers in this FIFA dominated world. After all, EA’s footballing behemoth has it all now. The players, the teams, the tournaments, the stadiums which may require England football tickets. But look at that second […]

We reviewed Foxyland literally two months ago, so we were a little surprised to see Foxyland 2 on the UK Playstation blog so soon. To call Foxyland 2 a sequel is a bit of stretch if we’re perfectly honest. The graphics are effectively identical to those of the first game, […]

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 […]

Big Ant Studios are slowly making a name for themselves with their sports titles. Branching out from cricket, they found themselves giving tennis a crack with AO Tennis. After numerous updates, that clumsy first attempt was starting to resemble something more palatable. Now they’ve opted to give a sequel a […]

There isn’t a lot to be said about Untitled Goose Game that hasn’t been said before. Developed by Melbourne-based developer House House, it was initially a Switch-only joint with regards consoles which I found while researching what game pays real money initially. It felt like being a 360 owner during […]

We’ve been fans of 10Tons for a while now thanks to their excellent line of roguelite twin-stick shooters. Neon Chrome, Tesla vs Lovecraft and the sensational Jydge were all excellent examples of the genre but now they’ve transposed their talent for roguelite mechanics into a hack and slash quest-driven adventure game. Undead Horde is the […]

As much as we have been gifted with a resurgence of sorts for the 3D platformer genre, it does feel that the in the HD era, we are still getting the short end of the stick on anything other than a Nintendo platform. We have been getting some standouts, but […]

Heroland is a turn based RPG from two big hitters of the genre in Takahiro Yamane and Nobiyuki Inoue (of Fantasy Life and Mother 3 respectively). In addition, the music is by Tsukasa Masuko (of Shin Megami Tensei and many other games besides) so on pedigree alone, it should be […]
