VR as a concept is one of those that will take time for developers to master, particularly in the first person shooter genre. One of the biggest problems with having free motion based on your viewpoint is that there will often be a disconnect between the character you play and […]

Sometimes fate, and the games release schedule, align in strange but perfect ways. A week ago I reviewed Grand Prix Rock’N Racing which I gave 1/10. I didn’t enjoy doing that. The game wasn’t cheap and cynical, it had some kind of heart behind it. But it was so abjectly […]

Coming from German developers Black Forest Games, Rogue Stormers is, as the name suggests, a rogue-lite. That entails the usual permadeath and gameplay being structured in runs sprinkled with random, procedural elements. At its core, it takes cues from games like Mercenary Kings and Contra. It’s effectively a twin-stick side-scroller […]

Rogue Stormers – PS4 Review

Remembering to breathe is hard isn’t it? Don’t get me started on having to blink all the time, I don’t know how I get anything done. Actually no, it’s super simple, something we don’t even have to think about. Unfortunately for Sam that’s not the case. He has to think […]

  Clones of popular games are nothing new, you will often see these types of experiences littering the hallowed PlayStation Country reviews archive. We know full well of the clones that come a short time after the original inspiration, particularly if it is Minecraft. However there are of course the […]

Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide – PS4 Review

Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni is a game which has caused quite a stir being banned in Germany and Australia.  Luckily years of watching Eurotrash has eroded my morals to such a degree that I no longer baulk at the idea of sexually exciting a school girl to turn her into a […]

Back at the start of this generation of mobile gaming (the early iOS days), one of the classic archetypes (along with tower defence games, match three puzzlers and platform games with unworkable touch controls) was 2D golf.  You’d pick your shot angle and your power and would hope to get […]

A Bastard’s Tale is the type of game people will describe as a 2D Dark Souls. You know, that lazy shortcut which basically means a game is difficult. It’s a massive disservice to a great game. Dark Souls I mean, not this. A Bastard’s Tale has been out for over […]

Some games are just so terrible that it makes you want to stop reviewing them.  Grand Prix Rock’N Racing is one of those games. After getting past the very basic menu (championship, time trial and multiplayer as well as a basic settings option for music and effects), I went into […]

There seems to be a bit of a correlation between summer jobs and indie game developers. Ever since Five Nights at Freddie’s appeared on PC there have been a slew of similarly themed games coming out, each trying to demonstrate their own twist on the haunted eatery experience and each with […]

Football has been around since the late 1800s and, aside from a few rule changes here and there, the game hasn’t really changed much over the years.  Likewise, EA and Konami have been accurately simulating the sport for a couple of decades now with their FIFA and PES franchises  respectively.  […]

First person platforming is a dangerous minefield to play with. Landfall games are intending to prove they have what it takes to provide a precise, fun time with Clustertruck. It’s a title that should tell you everything about the game and the loading screen full of carnage should re-enforce that. […]
