Aliens: Dark Descent is a real-time strategy game which comes to us from French devs Tindalos Interactive, otherwise known for their Battlefleet Gothic: Armada games (not, us neither). It is, of course, based on famous series of horror/sci-fi films in the radpidly declining Alien series. Not many fanbases have had it as rough […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Laserpitium is a 2D horizontally-scrolling shoot ’em that comes to us from one of the more prolific publishers in the genre, eastasiasoft, and was created by French studio, The ReeTeam. They have a long record of making low budget indie shooters that mostly ended up on Steam but this appears […]

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a chip off a very familiar block. I’m not sure how I feel about the term ‘boomer shooter’ but it is accurate in conveying a very specific first-person experience. I’m not a fan of the fiction but the setting certainly lends itself perfectly to a no-nonsense, […]

Dicey Dungeons is a game we’ve been peripherally aware of for quite a while due to following Niamh Houston aka Chipzel on Musk’s hellsite. That’s off the back of her contribution to Chime Sharp. Man, we love Chime Sharp almost as much as we loved Chime on the 360 and […]
