From Spanish solo developer ViJuDa and publisher Eastasiasoft comes Super Woden GP II, the follow-up to 2022’s Super Woden GP  that our man Richie reviewed. If you played that, this is more of the same and that’s no bad thing if we’re honest. Quite why it’s Super Woden, we’re not […]

Super Woden GP II – PS5 Review

The indie space is full of search action games that don’t always manage to set themselves apart. Frontier Hunter: Erza’s Wheel of Fortune comes from IceSeaTeam and, after a long spell in early access, the full product is available for Playstation 5. What arrives is a fully-baked effort that, whilst […]

RPM – Road Punk Mayhem is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up from Panda Indie Studio who, along with publisher eastasiasoft, have been responsible for a few shoot ’em ups in recent times.  They’ve had mixed results though with Z-Warp and the Project Starship games being okay but with Feeble Light and Excessive […]

FROGUE is a rogue-like platformer from Brazilian-based Wired Dreams where you play as a sword-wielding frog as it clears room after room of enemies.   The pixel-art visuals might suggest something a little generic, the usual indie fodder but this game genuinely brings something new to the genre. If you ever saw […]

Busway Islands – Puzzle from Brazilian developer Rising Moon Games, AKA Moraes Game Studio, via publisher QUByte Interactive is a bit of a throwback to review games of yore for us here at PSC. Unusually, it’s PS4 only, we could well have seen this working on our beloved Vita as […]

Graven is certainly aiming at a specific inspiration. A first-person shooter set in a dark fantasy world, it looks to scratch that Hexxen itch. Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms are waist-deep in the genre but, even with all that experience, the Playstation 5 port remains troubled. Let’s get the bad […]

Graven – PS5 Review

Retaliate is a twist on the classic wave-based vertically-scrolling shooter and it comes from Austin Sojka, otherwise known as Romans I XVI Gaming.  In researching the game we found an older version for the Roku TV platform and even a Commodore 64 (*spit!*) demake, so the idea for this game has […]

From developer Texel Raptor and publisher Blitworks Games comes a throwback of sorts in Parkitect: Deluxe Edition. Very much in the tradition of Theme Park and other parkbuilders such as Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect started out as a Kickstarter over ten years ago, with a lengthy two year early access period […]

Parkitect: Deluxe Edition – PS5 Review

I have waited so long to play Beyond Good & Evil. It was always one of those games that was talked with such reverence but I’d never managed to get my hands on it. Now Ubisoft have decided to re-release and update the classic game with a 20th Anniversary Edition. […]

Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition – PS5 Review

Bouncy Chicken is a physics puzzler, of sorts, and it comes from Austrian coders YeTa Games.  It’s published by eastasiasoft too so you can expect two versions of the game (PS4 and PS5) and a couple of reasonably easy Platinum trophies.  We don’t usually mention the trophy situation that early on but, […]

Bouncy Chicken – PS5 Review

Parasol Stars is a port of a 1991 platforming game that many younger readers will not have heard of.  But, older readers may not have either.  It was a sequel to a game in a beloved arcade series but it wasn’t an arcade game.  Instead it was initially developed for […]

Parasol Stars – PS5 Review

Hot Blood is a 3rd person brawler from a developer called DEKLAZON and it comes to us from the ever-prolific eastasiasoft.  And, as a bit of surprise, this isn’t a 2D effort either.  Instead it taps into a low-poly PS1 sort of aesthetic but with a smooth, not jagged look.  […]
