As VR concepts go, the idea of stepping into a surrealist fever dream conjured by the minds of Rick and Morty and The Stanley Parable is almost too tempting to pass up. Accounting+ is described on the PSN store page as being a “Nightmare Adventure Comedy” and it lives up […]

Accounting+ – PSVR Review

I’ve played lots of games and lots of games that aren’t traditional games. Papers, Please is up there as one of the oddest I’ve played. Based in a fictional eastern European Soviet State you take the role of a border control immigration officer, working within the system to allow or refuse entry […]

Super Hydorah is an authentically retro-flavoured horizontal shoot ’em up from Spanish one-man dev studio Locomalito and is out now for PS4 and Vita as a cross-buy title. It is very much a game that is aware of the history that preceded it. This extends to all aspects of the […]

Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery is another Artifex Mundi game and the follow up to Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom which I rather liked. As with all their other output this is a hidden object puzzle game and very much sticks to the template laid down in previous games. If you’ve played one […]

We never have to wait long for a roguelike 16-bit action adventure game and One More Dungeon is the latest one to arrive on PSN after a couple years of floating around on Steam. It was put together by Stately Snail, a two-man Russian studio, and is available now as […]

Tokyo Tattoo Girls is a strategy game released on Vita from Sushi Typhoon Games. It involves giving anime girls tattoos in order to give them stronger powers. What’s not to like about that? After a catastrophe Tokyo has been quarantined and separated into twenty-three wards. Girls throughout Tokyo have started […]

Of all the topics to base a game on a gaming podcast maybe isn’t the first which springs to mind. Oddly though this is just what 99Vidas has done and the resultant game is a side scrolling beat ‘em up. These kind of games were all the rage in the late 80s […]

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 […]

Star Ocean: The Last Hope was originally released as a 360 exclusive, back when Japan supporting Microsoft was still a thing. It was later ported to PS3 and now we have it on PS4 in the form of, brace yourselves, Star Ocean: The Last Hope – 4K & HD Remaster. […]

Not only am I not a games developer but I’m pretty sure that if I devoted myself one hundred percent to learning how to make them, I wouldn’t be able to make something capable of being sold on PSN if you gave me an entire year off to learn the […]

Indie games can often have a single strong idea to carry through the gameplay and that’s just what Let Them Come does. Armed with a sentry gun, a boombox and loads of bullets your task is to destroy a near endless wave of hostile aliens. Riffing on the sentry gun scene in […]

Black Mirror is a reboot of the PC game from 2003 and tells the tale of spooky goings on in a Scottish country house. I must admit this game totally passed me by during its first PC outing and I personally don’t think the name carries enough weight to justify rebooting […]
