VISCO Collection is a compilation of Neo Geo games originally coded by the ’90s developer Visco Corporation.  The majority of their output either came out in the arcades or on the Neo Geo, a sort of hybrid home/arcade system that only the rich kids could afford games for given that these […]

VISCO Collection – PS5 Review

Alive Paint is an art utility/game from the mysteriously named solo developer KhudO and it comes to us by way of the ever-prolific publisher eastasiasoft.  It was released initially on PC back in March but is now available on consoles. Essentially this is a colouring book.  At the start of each […]

The Oakland Athletics baseball team were founded in 1901 in Philadelphia, with a twelve-year stint from 1955 in Kansas City, moving to their current home at the Oakland Coliseum in 1968. Their current owner is a guy called John Fisher who has been running the team on a shoestring for […]

Harmony’s Odyssey is from Warsaw-based dev MythicOwl and published by fellow Poles WeDigGames. We got a similar feel to the work of Artifex Mundi, also based in Poland. We’d not be all that surprised if MythicOwl had some staff in common with that dev either either. Harmony’s Odyssey is a […]

Harmony’s Odyssey – PS4 Review

Funny how things come full circle. When the original Lords of the Fallen arrived in 2014, the soulslike sub-genre was not really a consideration. As one of the first to try their hand at From Software’s formula, the game stumbled into mediocrity. Almost a decade and a troublesome development later, […]

There was something about Overpass I just didn’t get on with. I love the idea of a more serious, obstacle-based racer but the feel of the game just felt off and I couldn’t get to grips with it. Well, Neopica’s taking another crack at the series and Overpass 2 does […]

Hero Survival is a top-down auto-shooter from indie studio PigeonDev which combines the dodging/shooting action genre made popular by Vampire Survivors with simple 16-bit visuals.  This genre is exploding on mobile platforms but is just getting started on PSN.  We previously reviewed Remedium: Sentinels which had a go at this sort of […]

Zombies never seem to vanish from media, do they? Seems like any game that needs a quick and easy reason for survival goes with the undead threat. Sure enough, Days of Doom settles on a zombie apocalypse setting for a roguelite tactical RPG. From Sneakybox, the premise delivers some charming […]

RedRaptor is a traditional vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up from publisher eastasiasoft and is the debut effort from Novax Games.  As with most of the shoot ’em ups from this publisher, this one is short, reasonably basic and with an initially tricky difficulty level that soon settles down and gives you that […]

I’ve been away from Ubisoft’s stealthy stab ’em up for over a decade now. Perhaps it’s fitting I come back when the marketing claims the series is returning to it’s roots. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is certainly a return of sorts. A middle-Eastern setting certainly harkens back to the 2007 original […]

Diorama Dungeoncrawl is a retro hack and slasher from Alec S, otherwise known as Renegade Sector Games.  Released on Steam in 2019, the game has now made its way over to PSN courtesy of prolific publishers eastasiasoft. Promising a low-poly 16-bit style adventure, the idea here is that you get the […]
