Dick Wilde 2 is an on-rails lightgun-style shooter for PSVR. When London-based coders Playstack released the original Dick Wilde onto PSN back in 2017 the general concensus was that it had the makings of being a fun shooter but was derailed somewhat by its punishing level of difficulty and so […]

Codemasters have been producing racing games for decades now and it’s fair to say they’ve managed to carve out a reputation as a safe pair of hands. 2015’s DiRT Rally was a foray back into the rugged wilds of rallying without flashbacks and delivering a stern driving challenge. Now a […]

ChromaGun VR is, as the name suggests, a PSVR update of Pixel Maniacs’ original ChromaGun game, a colour-based puzzler that has been around on iOS and computers for a few years but made its way to the PS4 in 2017. The game is a straight port of the original with […]

From indie developer Moondrop comes puzzle platformer Degrees of Separation. Nothing to do with Kevin Bacon though. Nor is it based on a dismal tug of love custody battle TV movie with Stockard Channing. Instead the separation is between Ember (summer/fire girl) and Rime (winter/ice boy), each of which affect […]

As I get older in life, I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever crack a really tough platformer. That doesn’t stop me trying but I often question my reflexes and patience. Along comes Almost There: The Platformer, a game by Bony Yousuf with an aesthetic reminiscent of the earlier years […]

Rym 9000 is a vertically scrolling shooter that comes from enigmatic Moroccan solo dev Sonoshee and taps into a retro aesthetic that is both recognisable but also one that never really existed. Confused? Well stick with us. The game’s intro that explains that Rym 9000 is a highly-treasured commodity that […]

Have you ever looked at an entertainment experience and thought to yourself “who is this for”? That was me last week as I played Shanky: The Vegan’s Nightmare by Artvision games. You can already judge the game by its title for the most part, it seems to be advertised purely […]

From the people who brought us numerous Neptunia titles comes a new JRPG/visual novel mix, Death end re;Quest. Mixing new ideas with a familiar feel, Compile Heart have stepped out from the safety of Neptune and her pals into a more serious arena but can the cutesy characters and serious […]

Steins;Gate Elite is this reviewer’s first encounter with this peculiarly Japanese genre, the visual novel. Steins;Gate was the second game in the Science Adventure series, following on from 2008’s Chaos;Head. For those not familiar with this game type, they are typically text heavy with static images. Steins;Gate Elite is something […]

Henchman and Goon are a Norwegian developer whose first game, Pode found a home on the Nintendo Switch last year. Despite some technical issues, it was warmly received. Now on the Playstation 4, the technical issues appear to have been brushed aside and the game has managed to maintain a […]

From Tessera Studios comes a new VR compatible, but not VR exclusive, sneak-em-up. Intruders: Hide and Seek offers a great premise, managing to make you feel rather helpless and vulnerable, but how does the whole package come together? You play as Ben, a thirteen year old boy, who has travelled […]

Intruders: Hide and Seek – PS4 Review

While it’s a very basic style of game to make, there are a couple of half-decent anagram-based puzzle games out there.   Letter Quest and Spellspire were very similar games that saw you doing battle in an RPG-style world using jumbled up letters to create longer words than your opponents in […]
