While it’s the endless fighting games and the slightly overappreciated Metal Slugs that people remember so fondly when they think back to the Neo Geo, some of the best games were the curios that everyone seems to forget about.  Until now Windjammers, Data East’s frisbee-flinging sports title, was one of […]

Windjammers – PS4 Review

From Sloclap and Devolver Digital comes Absolver, a combat focused action game which has similar mechanics and features to other games but as a whole is pretty unique. You play as a Prospect, a mask wearing individual who is tasked with defeating enemies on the way to the Tower of […]

Absolver – PS4 Review

I freely admit to knowing nothing about surfing other than the really high level stuff such as it taking place on water and involving a surf board.  My lack of knowledge of the activity probably goes hand in hand with the fact it is vastly underrepresented in videogames.  Doing a […]

Surf World Series – PS4 Review

I have to admit to my only experience with the Ys series to this point has been Ys Origin which was an excellent arcade-y RPG with brilliant combat. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is new on the PS4 and Vita and is a very different game, though with some obvious […]

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA – PS4 Review

  One of the most annoying things for me in the previous generation of consoles was the advent of ‘realistic’ first person shooters. I mean fine, they have a place and a lot of people prefer boots on the ground warfare, but for me, first person shooters shine when they […]

Lawbreakers – PS4 Review

Already out in the open on the PC since 2016, Rabi-Rabi makes the transition to the Playstation 4. Indie platformers with Metroidvania elements are now ten a penny. Can CreSpirit and GemaYue’s effort stand out from the crowd? Rabi Rabi is a tale of two companions. You control Erina who […]

Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan is a game by Artifex Mundi, the purveyors of hidden object and light puzzle games. We reviewed the first Grim Legends game a while back and while this game shares the same name there is no carry over in the story between the two. If […]

Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan -PS4 Review

Described as a cross between Grand Theft Auto and Syndicate, Mode7’s latest game Tokyo 42 comes to the PS4 after already establishing a reputation on PC and Xbox One.  Being compared to the greatest isometric game ever, and the second best GTA (GTA V being the best) is no joke […]

Tokyo 42 – PS4 Review

While I never had much time in the Eighties, I ended up rather liking Paperboy decades later when it was ported to Xbox Live Arcade.  After more hours than it should have taken, I completed a full week on the game and I found the whole challenge pretty rewarding in […]

Special Delivery – PSVR Review

Back in the 90s graphic adventure games were all the rage and Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick worked at Lucasfilm Games.  As part of the team responsible for some of the best of the genre they worked on The Secret of  Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle to name but two. Eventually though adventure […]

Thimbleweed Park – PS4 Review

Formula 1 might not be holding my interest like it once did but Codemasters’ treatment of the sport retains a level of curiosity. With some strong visuals and a handling package behind it, can this year’s game surpass last season’s revered effort? Visually, this doesn’t differ much from last season’s […]

F1 2017 – PS4 Review

Rich reviewed Aven Colony a few weeks back, the Tropico games are great, but there’s now another SimCity-esque game on the PS4 in the form of Cities: Skylines – PlayStation 4 Edition. Already a critical hit on the PC, has the move to console been kind? Cities: Skylines puts you […]
