Ys Origin – PS4 Review

It seems somewhat fitting that a Metroid clone is hitting the Playstation 4 in the lead up to a new Nintendo console release. Forma.8 arrives from Mixed Bag, a small team aiming to fill the same gap plenty of independent studios have successfully set foot in. Forma.8 presents itself very […]

Forma.8 – PS4 Review

  When it first appeared on the scene, Psychonauts was a bit of an enigma. From the outside it looked like a pretty standard 3D platformer with Tim Burton-esque characters running about on screen. But to those who played and dived deeper into the world there was an amazing level […]

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin – PSVR Review

It’s easy to forget in these modern times, that freedom of movement wasn’t always the easiest thing to realise in gaming. These days you can run out of your city apartment, steal a car, drive to an airstrip, get on a plane and dive out right into a swimming pool […]

Chime Sharp – PS4 Review

Extend Studio have brought their doppelgänger-heavy platform adventure to the Playstation 4. Attracting praise from critics during its original release, it’s interesting to see if the charm remains as strong after a couple of years. So Many Me is ostensibly a 2D-platformer with cloning at its heart. It’s a concept […]

So Many Me – PS4 Review

With Resident Evil 7 recently releasing the original games have been on my mind. They were fantastic games, maybe a little difficult to experience for the first time now, but the visuals, atmosphere and adventure were all top notch and birthed ‘survival horror’. Just one look at the screens around […]

  The PlayStation Network Store has been an interesting place to be recently. There has been an influx of somewhat shady releases that show clearly that the floodgates are now open, similar to that of the Steam greenlight system where just about any crap would do. Titles such as Life […]

Sky Ride – PS4 Review

I loved Trials… to a point.  Everything was great, I love the look, the controls and the levels.  And then the game outgrew my set of skills.  I know people who obsessed over every bounce, every landing and got close to mastering it but I play far too many games […]
