WWE have ruled the wrestling roost for a long while but that hasn’t stopped companies looking to mildly threaten the sports entertainment behemoth. Nobody has really come close but All Elite Wrestling are the latest to, at the very least, gain a foothold in the industry. What follows is AEW: […]

Rogue Legacy 2 is a rogue-lite 2D platform/slasher from Canadian coders Cellar Door. It’s the follow-up to the beloved 2013 original and while it’s been around on Steam since 2020, it’s finally landed on PSN this month as a surprising PS Extra freebie. We’re not sure why it’s taken so long […]

Frictional Games have been at the forefront of the indie horror genre and their Amnesia series has been, for the most part, very well received. I’ve yet to play the earlier games but I always considered their restrictive nature to be off-putting. Sneaking around an environment with little to arm […]

Orbital Bullet is a run and gun shooter/platformer that comes to us from German games dev SmokeStab. And while we get plenty of run and gunners to review here at PlayStation Country, this one has a very cool mechanic that elevates it above many of its contemporaries. The gimmick here is […]

We have to confess being a little nervous about (deep breath) We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie. For whatever reason, its PS4 predecessor Katamari Damacy REROLL didn’t feel right. Perhaps it was the fact it didn’t particularly work for us with the Dualshock 4. At any rate, We Love Katamari […]

MotoGP might still be the greatest sport I never watch. Since it was bumped off free-to-air TV, I’ve barely stayed current with it, although it’s been intriguing to keep an eye on it since Valentino Rossi moved towards team ownership and Mark Marquez injures himself into a sad decline. I […]

Danmaku Unlimited 3 is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up from one-man Canadian coder, Doragon Entertainment. The previous two games never made it over to PSN, and seem to just be mobile phone efforts, but this game landed on the Switch back in 2019 and has now finally made it to […]

We’re not exactly sure why MOSS and NIS America insist on releasing their Raiden games in such a bizarre order, but following on from Raiden 5: Director’s Cut and Raiden 4 x MIKADO, here is their last updated port and this time it’s Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX. Dating back to 2005, Raiden III is […]

Farming simulators seem to get of traction these days. Maybe it’s a question of escapism or the fact they trivialise the back-breaking labour of farm work but people seem to love them. I can see the appeal but there’s always a sense the repetition might wear me down. In comes […]

Undead Horde 2 is a top-down strategy/hack and slash mash up from Finnish studio 10TonsLtd and if you’ve ever read our reviews of their games, you’ll know that we’re huge fans of their work. The game is, of course, the follow-up to their 2020 original, a game that we liked […]

Wobbledogs: Console Edition comes to us on PS4 from developer Animal Uprising and publisher Secret Mode (aka Sumo Digital’s publishing arm), having released on Steam in March last year. This reviewer decided to have a go as our kid seemed to have enjoyed it on PC. At least until he […]
