I’ve always been of the opinion that Norse mythology is great, and would make a brilliant fit for videogames.  There are tales of violence and gods, full of wonderfully vivid images, as well as some proper bonkers bits in it involving talking cows.  It was with this forefront in my […]

Jotun: Valhalla Edition – PS4 Review

Buenos Aires based coders OPQAM first came to our attention with their open-world twin-stick shooter Project Root, a game that we absolutely detested.  We went as far as to give it two out of ten which didn’t reflect how well the game was put together technically but rather just how […]

DOGOS – PS4 Review

A while ago we covered Aces of the Luftwaffe, which I described as ‘made for mobile bullshit’ and I was right.  Taking a game with mobile roots and bringing it to the big boy consoles is fine but it takes a bit of judgement.  Simply rotating the screen 90 degrees […]

Sky Force Anniversary – PS4 Review

140 is a stylish platformer with a strong sense of electro rhythm running through it. I love me some bleeps and bloops, some electronica, some fat beats and it was this hook which initially drew me to the game. What we have here is a platformer with a strong emphasis […]

140 – PS4 Review

After over a year on the PC Black Star Labs have ported Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy to PS4. A strategy game with tactical space combat, there’s certainly not a whole lot of competition on the system but does it deserve your interest? You’re cast as Valeron Dyce, a newly-minted […]

Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy – PS4 Review

The PSN store page describes WanderjahR as a ‘compact RPG with real-time strategy combat and an intriguing story’. This I feel is a little misleading which is unnecessary as there is definitely an audience out there for this game. Why do I say that description is misleading? Well I would […]

WanderjahR – Vita Review

In an indie scene that is somewhat bereft of fresh ideas, sometimes all you can do is throw in an extra gameplay element and hope that it adds a little extra something to make it all worthwhile. This is definitely what Do My Best, the two man team behind The […]

The Final Station – PS4 Review

A century after the battle of the Somme, The Great War seems to be in the gaming consciousness with two big releases focusing on the conflict. Verdun arrives after an original baptism on PC earlier in the year and, with it’s focus on a more realistic portrayal of trench warfare, […]

Verdun – PS4 Review

Have you ever wanted to go to space? To travel amongst the stars on a spaceship, visit new planets and once there scan and document the different types of plants. Okay, maybe not so much the last part but that is the mission for BUD (Botanical Utility Droid). Grow Up […]

Grow Up – PS4 Review

Deceptively simple is how Absolute Drift: Zen Edition describes itself and, if there’s one thing the racing genre tackles in varying degrees, its getting sideways. Its a skill which I’ve never always seen eye-to-eye with but Flippfly are trying to keep it clean and basic whilst offering some potential for […]

Absolute Drift: Zen Edition – PS4 Review

For a lot of people, poker gaming started and ended with Texas Hold ‘Em on the Xbox 360. We all got it, we all played it until we were sick of it. Other poker games came and went but they were pointless. There’s nothing more that needs adding to a […]

Prominence Poker – PS4 Review

The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse is a story driven game with an RPG battle system based in the same universe as the Snow White and the Huntsman films. I didn’t realise that at the time but any sort of RPG mechanic? Count me in. You play as Elisabeth as she searches […]
