Siralim 2 is a new cross-buy release on the PS4 and PS Vita. Looking at the images you can probably guess it takes inspiration from old school JRPGs, specifically Dragon Quest Monsters. You play as the King or Queen of Siralim (you choose your gender and name) who also happens […]

Ghost Blade HD is a bullet hell shoot ’em up in the vertically-scrolling tradition and at first viewing you’d swear it was Japanese given that your three choices of pilots are all anime girls. In fact, this game comes by way of German coders Hucast but they’ve definitely done their […]

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a game which takes inspiration from the likes of the Metroid and Castlevania, in that it’s a 2D side scrolling platform game with elements of environmental navigation and discovery.

2Dark is another crowdfunded game, but instead of Kickstarter this one was funded through Ulule. From Gloomywood, the lead programmer is Frederick Raynal who worked on one of my favourites, Little Big Adventure and, a little more relevant, Alone in the Dark. It promises to provide an original take on […]

Having recently rediscovered Neon Chrome, a cyberpunk twin-stick shooter roguelike that sees you taking on level after level of robotic enemies punctuated by occasional boss battles and plenty of opportunities to upgrade your offensive and defensive capabilities, it figured that basically the exact same thing would come along again and […]

LEGO Worlds is a game about playing with LEGO. It feels like this is one of those obvious ideas which ought to have been done years ago, and its a little surprising it has taken this long to be realised as a thing. It has been in early access on […]

Without a doubt, the two best tactical shooters of last gen were Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, GRAW to its friends, and its sequel. The hours my online buddies and I spent taking on every mission on that game, as well as challenging randoms in PvP, was more than I care […]

Loot Rascals is a game with bags of character. The game has some strong indie DNA having been developed by some of the same team behind Hohokum and Super Exploding Zoo. On the face of it you’re looking at another indie roguelike, but this game has an irreverent sense of humour […]

As far as big budget releases go you can’t get much bigger than Horizon Zero Dawn. You would have noticed the adverts all over the shop, the TV segments and YouTube videos. For the past month or so it’s been all about the robotic dinosaurs. With Sony apparently throwing all their […]
