I suspect there will be a point where Microsoft games coming to us will no longer feel novel. They’ve had a busy few months with a slew of exclusive games now making their way to the blue brand. Later this summer sees Gears of War: Reloaded finally landing on a […]

Gears of War: Reloaded PS5 Multiplayer Preview

I’m sure we all remember stories of fairy tales from our childhood. Or local folklore. Whilst some of them become referential in games, I don’t think it’s that common for them to become a focus of an entire interactive experience. Vasilisa and Baba Yaga comes Russian developer Baba Yaga Games. […]

Soulstone Survivors is, as you can probably guess, an auto-shooter, rogue-lite game in the same vein as Vampire Survivors and Brotato and it comes to us by way of Brighton-based studio Game Smithing, an oddly drab and functional studio name that might make you think this is just another cheap attempt to cash-in on […]

Soulstone Survivors – PS5 Review

The original Submersed left a sour taste in my mouth. As one of those ultra-cheap survival horror efforts, it felt basic and rigid in its execution. Main Loop have returned with Submersed 2: The Hive as a more comprehensive attempt that does improve on the first game’s offerings. It is […]

Submersed 2: The Hive – Playstation 5 Review

From yer man Keita Takahashi’s studio uvula and publisher Annapurna, we have to a T. The uvula being the fleshy bit at the back of the throat. You play as a thirteen-year-old boy, who’s shaped like a T, across eight episodes of steadily increasing whimsy. Bearing in mind Takahashi’s previous […]

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo comes from Brazilians Pocket Trap. It’s a search action game that delivers a lot of charm whilst trying to make combat and traversal very active. The genre’s well-trodden ground but this twist does push my buttons, despite the rising challenge delivering some tricky moments. The […]

The PuK Thumbstick is an accessory for smartphones that hopes to address the one universal truth about mobile gaming:  virtual controls are absolutely rubbish.  And while the main application for this hardware is Android/iOS gaming, we figured we’d look at it through a different lens:  the PS5’s Remote Play function. But […]

PuK Thumbstick – Hardware Review

Gore Doctor is a horror game from Salient Games which came out in March 2024 on Steam before inevitably making its way to consoles a year later.  But rather than being your usual Resident Evil/Silent Hill kind of affair, this one’s going for a something of a Saw vibe which isn’t something […]

Gore Doctor – PS5 Review

Another month, another hidden cat game from our pals at Silesia Games, subdeveloped by the excellently named Sleepwalking Potatoes from Rzeszów in southeast Poland. This time the setting is the Wild West and the game is Hidden Cat Outlaws. Something of a departure from the other hidden cat games we’ve […]

Hidden Cat Outlaws – PS5 Review

Another day, another roguelite. This time it’s Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade from 7Quark. Mixing Japanese history with demonic folklore is not a new thing but the repeatable structure and short runs do make for something potentially interesting. Unfortunately, it’s a game that devolves into repetition a little too […]

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade – PS5 Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is the latest game featuring Eastman and Laird’s 1984 pizza loving reptiles. Owned by Nickelodeon since 2009, this was originally released on Apple Arcade in 2023, then Switch the following year with it being deemed successful enough to release on PS5 as well. We […]

Knight’s Night! is the latest release from our friends at eastasiasoft, being a lovely double dip PS4 and PS5 for those who partake in the perceived easy platinum boogie. Us here at PSC, we prefer to judge a game on its own merits, trophies be damned. At first glance you’ll […]
