Ghost Blade HD is a bullet hell shoot ’em up in the vertically-scrolling tradition and at first viewing you’d swear it was Japanese given that your three choices of pilots are all anime girls. In fact, this game comes by way of German coders Hucast but they’ve definitely done their […]

Ghost Blade HD – PS4 Review

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a game which takes inspiration from the likes of the Metroid and Castlevania, in that it’s a 2D side scrolling platform game with elements of environmental navigation and discovery.  Whilst it may be heavily inspired by these games it also brings enough fresh ideas […]

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight -PS4 Review

2Dark is another crowdfunded game, but instead of Kickstarter this one was funded through Ulule. From Gloomywood, the lead programmer is Frederick Raynal who worked on one of my favourites, Little Big Adventure and, a little more relevant, Alone in the Dark. It promises to provide an original take on […]

2Dark – PS4 Review

Having recently rediscovered Neon Chrome, a cyberpunk twin-stick shooter roguelike that sees you taking on level after level of robotic enemies punctuated by occasional boss battles and plenty of opportunities to upgrade your offensive and defensive capabilities, it figured that basically the exact same thing would come along again and […]

NeuroVoider – PS4 Review

Sometimes things translate well to other mediums, books being made into films or stage plays being adapted to TV shows.  Its not often board games are ported to games consoles, but Talisman: Digital Edition has made the jump from tabletop to your home screen.  Its time to dust of your D6 and […]

Talisman: Digital Edition – PS4 Review

LEGO Worlds is a game about playing with LEGO.  It feels like this is one of those obvious ideas which ought to have been done years ago, and its a little surprising it has taken this long to be realised as a thing.  It has been in early access on […]

Without a doubt, the two best tactical shooters of last gen were Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, GRAW to its friends, and its sequel.  The hours my online buddies and I spent taking on every mission on that game, as well as challenging randoms in PvP, was more than I care […]

Ghost Recon Wildlands – PS4 Review

  Hacking is one of those gameplay elements that has suffered from poor representation. Whether it is the one button mundanity of Watch_Dogs or the Pipe Dream aping moments in Bioshock, developers seem to be having a bit of trouble finding the right balance between simple to understand mechanics and […]

Darknet – PSVR Review

Loot Rascals is a game with bags of character.    The game has some strong indie DNA having been developed by some of the same team behind Hohokum and Super Exploding Zoo.  On the face of it you’re looking at another indie roguelike, but this game has an irreverent sense of humour […]

Loot Rascals – PS4 Review

Artifex Mundi are back with another hidden object/adventure game on the PS4. Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride offers more of the same for those who have played Nightmares of the Deep: The Cursed Heart or Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek but if you’ve not tried those games then read […]

Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride – PS4 Review

As far as big budget releases go you can’t get much bigger than Horizon Zero Dawn.  You would have noticed the adverts all over the shop, the TV segments and YouTube videos.  For the past month or so it’s been all about the robotic dinosaurs. With Sony apparently throwing all their […]

Horizon Zero Dawn – PS4 Review

I know, I know. Another twin stick shooter but, to be fair to Eastasiasoft, this exact type of twin stick shooter is relatively rare on the PS4. Blue Rider is one of those ones where your ship is fixed on the screen and the left stick rotates the environment. Recent […]
