Ratalaika Games are back with another easy trophy rinse and while their usual MO is super predictable (cross-play games with super easy platinums), you can’t say that for the actual types of game they put out.  We’ve just reviewed their recent game Zeroptian Invasion which is a Space Invaders clone but they’ve also […]

Bird Game+ – PS4 Review

While we’re not sure that players are totally into this whole old-school retro flavour that indie devs keep pumping, it’s pretty obvious that these 8 and 16-bit aesthetics aren’t going anywhere.  And the retro thing can mean anything these days.  As long as you can make out the individual pixels […]

Zeroptian Invasion – PS4/Vita Review

Angerforce: Reloaded is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up in the classic 1942/Dodonpachi style that comes to us as the debut from Beijing based coders Screambox Studio and it is out now on PSN. When creating games in this genre the recipe for success is no secret and yet often indie […]

We have to confess being a little alarmed when our download of UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure appeared on our PS4 before we’d even exited the PS Store. Moreso when we realised the publisher was Outright Games who previously brought us Paw Patrol: On A Roll. Thankfully a different developer in […]

UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure – PS4 Review

As massive fans of Mortal Kombat X, the first Mortal Kombat game since Trilogy on the PS1 that we’ve actually loved (although we did like the spin-off Shaolin Monks), we’ve had a lot of our hopes and expectations pinned on Mortal Kombat 11, the latest in the long-running series of […]

Mortal Kombat 11 – PS4 Review

When the splash screen for Fantastico Studio popped up with a VHS-style filter, this reviewer had a dreadful feeling they were playing Far Cry: Blood Dragon again for a second. Thankfully beyond the synthwave musical stylings and and ’80s trappings that’s where the similarities end. Black Paradox is a space […]

Black Paradox – PS4 Review

It’s odd how the release calendar works sometimes. World War Z saw a movie adaptation in 2013 and now a game arrives slightly ahead of Sony’s own zombie effort. Saber Interactive are hoping this won’t be lost in the shuffle. Will it be smothered by the swarm? A co-op squad […]

When 10TonsLtd, who have long been our favourite purveyors of twin-stick shooting action, dropped Tesla vs Lovecraft on us last year we were very happy with its mix of bold, colourful visuals and insanely hectic gameplay and continued to play it all the way to the platinum long after we […]

From Arcade Distillery comes War Theatre, a turn based strategy game on PS4 and Vita. With the option of multiple campaigns or skirmishes there’s plenty of battles to be had in this fantasy, steampunk world. There are seven hero units, each with their own story set across six levels. Before […]

War Theatre – PS4 Review

With Zen’s third pack of real-life Williams tables for their masterful Pinball FX3 hub, comes our third review of these things and so far we’ve had mixed feelings with these packs.  Mainly this has been down to us not really having the familiarity with those real tables and also because they’ve been […]

Pinball FX3: Williams Pinball (Volume 3) – PS4 Review

From Cologne/Köln based developer btf (aka bildundtonfabrik literally picture and sound factory) comes Trüberbrook, a late ’60s Cold War era sci-fi point and click adventure game set in the titular village. The locale brings to mind the Harz mountain region of mid-Germany for anyone familiar with the country. Trüberbrook first […]

Trüberbrook – PS4 Review

Snooker games are fairly rare so getting two of them in the same week must be some sort of sign of the apocalypse but here we are reviewing another one having just published our review of Snooker 19.  Where that game had the official World Snooker license and over 100 real […]
