Coming from a small outfit called Lost in the Garden, Lightfield is a futuristic racer looking to take nods towards it’s contemporaries whilst providing it’s own take on movement and navigation. Is the aesthetic charm worth the effort? The visual treatment on offer is a nice, clean and futuristic look which […]

It’s not easy reviewing FIFA games. The subtle changes between iterations often leaves reviewers clutching at straws looking for something different to say from last year’s reviews. And anyway, everyone already knows if it is a good game. Of course it’s good. They’ve been simulating the sport of football accurately […]

RUINER is the debut title by Polish dev squad Reikon Games and it combines twin-stick shooting with a cyberpunk aesthetic, which is a combination that PS4 gamers, and reviewers, are more than familiar with. The game stands out though thanks to developers’ commitment to the Blade Runner-esque style of the […]

The third visual novel entry in the Danganronpa franchise has hit PS4 in the form of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. If you’ve played either of the previous two titles then you’ll have a pretty good idea how things are going to go down. I was a little disappointed, expecting a […]

In this modern age of 16-bit action platformers, it’s quite nice to see a game with modern-ish production values and Hidden Dragon Legend: Shadow Trace (an early contender for worst title of the year) is something of a rarity in that it has actual polygons in it. Using a 2.5D […]

A 2015 release on the PC, The Coma is a fairly traditional Korean horror tale from Devespresso Games. Taking place among familiar corridors with familiar foes, The Coma: Recut appears on new platforms.

Eventide 2: Sorcerer’s Mirror is another outing for the hidden object game developers Artifex Mundi. We’ve reviewed a few of these now and I generally enjoy them. They offer a relaxing way to spend a few hours on light puzzles and a dramatic story. I understand these wont be for everyone […]

Whilst a vast swathe of modern indie games enjoy using the retro aesthetic of 8-bit pixel art, there are many other periods of retro gaming available. Pankapu has action which harks back to the 90s platform games of old but manages to catapult the graphics into the present day. Pankapu is a story […]

Rallying might be the most intense test of any driver outside of Le Mans and, with Kylotonn continuing to bring the World Rally Championship to our consoles, we can experience a small piece of that life from the comfort of our living room. Is the long-running series starting to show […]

Reviewing sports games can be a tricky business. Year on year, they arrive with you needing something a subtle focus, rather than looking for the big changes. Pro Evolution Soccer has felt like that for the last couple of years. Konami’s flagship football franchise has enjoyed critical, if not quite […]

Developed by Aist, DreamBreak seems to offer players a Flashback style adventure, with retro graphics, a dystopian future and conspiracy. What you actually get is an interesting but very flawed mishmash. You play as Eugene, a janitor who is dragged into a revolution against his will. This leads him through […]

Time Recoil is the latest joint for 10TonsLtd, a developer that we’ve been following for a while here and it follows the template set by one of their earlier games, Neon Chrome, which you might know as a recent PS+ freebie. After cutting their teeth on basic physics puzzle/arcade games […]
