Islanders is a city-building puzzler from German game devs GrizzlyGames that first emerged on PCs back in 2019 but has now found its way over to consoles. For many people, that might sound a bit off-putting. City builders can often be complicated, micro-managey affairs where you spend more time following […]

Strange how life is at times. I can’t recall ever playing a game involving a major farming element before and yet after reviewing Graveyard Keeper (and its most recent DLC) I’m now reviewing Kitaria Fables. Not that they’re the same game by any stretch but both have a reliance on […]

While it should need no introduction, Quake is one of those games that tends to be forgotten in this day and age. As part of the Id Software legacy, it is often overshadowed by its forebears, whether that be Wolfenstein or Doom, with them getting all the love with their […]

King’s Bounty 2 is a cross-over RPG/tactics game from Russian coders 1C Entertainment who have quite the softography of lesser-known titles behind them. Of course, this is a sequel to the original King’s Bounty, a 1990 tactical RPG that originated on the PC but did good business on the Amiga […]

No, this isn’t another Dark Souls wannabe putting ‘Souls’ in their name to attract attention. Tormented Souls on PS5 gets its inspiration from elsewhere; namely old school, survival horror. We’re talking the big three: Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil and Silent Hill. As a fan of these titles I […]

I’ve always been a coward. Even as a bike lover, I could never bring myself to mount one and ride in anger. I value my skeleton too much. It’s why I take great joy from riding virtually and RiMS Racing is the latest effort to have me covered. Coming from […]

Ratalaika like to vary up the genres they publish. This week’s title, Orbibot, doesn’t fit neatly into a genre really. It’s a physics based puzzler, but the physics apply just as much to the character you are controlling as it does to the objects you’re manipulating. You control the titular […]

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a third-person shooter from San Jose coders Cold Iron Studios and is, of course, based in everyone’s favourite cinematic universe. Namely that of James Cameron’s sublime 1985 action/horror flick Aliens. The thing is though that Cold Iron’s roots are in MMOs and this is a three-player co-op […]

You already know the story here. Bright colourful visuals, 2D platformer with a retro pixel aesthetic, simplistic gameplay with a hint of challenge and a boatload of easy trophies. It must be Ratalaika time again.Now, that may come off as flippant. However, in reality, we at PlayStation Country love seeing […]

For a lad that spent a lot of his youth with old machinery, I have some serious blank spots when it comes to retro games. Spelunker HD saw a PS3 re-release a decade ago and it’s come back around again in Spelunker HD Deluxe. A reimagining of a 1983 classic, […]

Get Packed: Fully Loaded is a bells-and-whistles update of the Stadia (LOL) title Get Packed and is a co-op focused, physics-heavy co-op title where you act as a removal firm, clearing out various properties. It comes to us by way of the Cornish coders, Moonshine Studios and is out now for […]

It’s hard to say where the indie development space would be without Rogue. Punters still can’t seem to get enough of that punishing, risk/reward concept and as a result, indie devs are not letting up on releases that feature some sort of genre mashup with these mechanics. However, out of […]
