Root Letter is a visual novel from Kadokawa Games and has just been released on the PS4 and Vita. Being the resident visual novel expert by default I’ve been playing the PS4 version. You can name your character whatever you want but his nickname is Max. Max is sorting out […]

Root Letter – PS4 Review


I love a bit of retro shenanigans and Exile’s End is going straight for the jugular with a game which looks and plays like something from the SNES era.  Exile’s End is a game crafted from nostalgia, a game which takes inspiration from the 8-bit and 16-bit games the developer […]

Exile’s End – PS4 Review


It’s that time of the year again. That wonderful time when EA, Activision and others crawl out of their caverns, dripping with sweat, blood and enthusiasm about their new AAA games. As much as fans or ex fans like to protest, this is the time in which their wallet is […]

Titanfall 2 – PS4 Review



I’m a sucker for a decent arcade racer so when the fourth installment of the Moto Racer series landed on my lap, I was hoping for a decent time. They’re remembered fondly on the Playstation and, whilst some of the charm has worn off after three editions, Microids are developing […]

Moto Racer 4 – PS4 Review


Ronin is a new PS4 release and a little hard to define. Initially as the tutorial plays out you might think it’s a platformer with weird controls as you use the left stick to move and can angle your jump with the right stick, but encounter an enemy and things […]

Ronin – PS4 Review


Yesterday Origins is another entry in the good old point and click adventure game genre and is a sequel to the 2012 PC and mobile title Yesterday.  I’d never heard of Yesterday but was up for taking a look at this easily overlooked genre. You play the part of John […]

Yesterday Origins – PS4 Review



I have no idea who Mark McMorris is but his election policies of Infinite Air make more sense than Trump’s. Let’s lend him our ears. Okay, that intro was a stretch but, colour me intrigued when someone tells me Maximum Games are attempting a realistic snowboarding title. At face value, […]

Mark McMorris Infinite Air – PS4 Review


Xenoraid is the latest project from Jaakko Maaniemi at 10 Tons Ltd (Tennis in the Face, Neon Chrome) and is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up with a host of features that are quite unusual for the genre.  In the same way that Neon Chrome took the twin-stick genre and added […]

Xenoraid – PS4 Review


Real time strategy games are something I have a bit of an odd history with. I tend to love them at first when learning the ropes however when the going starts to get tougher, with more elements and strategies to work with then that is when I generally shut off. […]

Tethered – PSVR Review



Earth’s Dawn is a 2D hack ‘n’ slash with a strong loot element for the PS4. Based around a group of super soldiers who are Earth’s last stand against an alien invasion the story doesn’t ultimately matter but there are cutscenes introducing the main missions. The question is do you […]

Earth’s Dawn – PS4 Review


  Ever since the grossly underrated Bionic Commando reboot came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 I have been longing for a game in which you can actively swing around. Many would credit Spiderman 2 with this honour thanks to its relatively free form webslinging mechanic. However there was something […]

Windlands – PSVR Review


So, this is a surprise.  I wasn’t expecting to like Carnival Games VR.  It’s a very early PSVR title that comes by way of the Nintendo Wii and is widely regarded as shovelware.  And while those dsadsadsadsadsadsaWii roots are pretty evident, it is actually a pretty decent fit for PSVR.  […]
