Oaken from Poznań-based dev Low Poly Dreams and Goblinz Publishing is a deceptive game. On the face of it, it’s an attractive looking hex strategy game with turn-based combat. However, almost from the start it manages to frustrate and obfuscate key mechanics that it never really explains. It doesn’t really […]

Real time strategy is a genre I’ve spent a long time away from. Being mostly a console gamer, I just don’t tend to cross paths with what tactical offerings they can bring. With a fresh set of controller bindings, The Valiant looks to transition onto the Playstation 5. Kite Games […]

Ray’z Arcade Chronology is a compilation of three Taito arcade shoot ’em ups, 1994’s Rayforce, 1996’s RayStorm and the 1998 prequel RayCrisis.  All three of them are vertically-scrolling shoot ’em ups that borrow heavily from the classics of the genre, in particular Namco’s Xevious games, and while each of the games has been re-released over […]

We loved Van Halen. Eddie and Alex, the two eponymous brothers in the band were often overshadowed by flamboyant frontman David Lee Roth. We think he’s ace too, mainly for his daft solo shit like Just A Gigolo / I Ain’t Got Nobody. Particularly the amazing video that accompanied it […]

I clearly wasn’t the only one puzzled to see Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed appear only on the Playstation 5 last year. After a tiny bit of uproar, the last generation version has finally got over the line. Limited to only the single player campaign, this cut-price Playstation 4 version […]

Tin Can might well be a glimpse into the future for us. Not the spacefaring aspect, but the fact we felt a general sense of outright bewilderment for most of our time playing it. Is what slowly losing your faculties feels like? If so, it’s damn well unsettling. Best described […]

Feeble Light is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up that comes to us by way of prolific publishers Eastasiasoft and is the latest of a series of shooters from Panda Indie Studio who previously brought us Project Starship, Red Death, Void Gore andZ-Warp.  These were all similar games to this one in […]

Aliens: Dark Descent is a real-time strategy game which comes to us from French devs Tindalos Interactive, otherwise known for their Battlefleet Gothic: Armada games (not, us neither).  It is, of course, based on famous series of horror/sci-fi films in the radpidly declining Alien series. Not many fanbases have had it as rough […]

WWE have ruled the wrestling roost for a long while but that hasn’t stopped companies looking to mildly threaten the sports entertainment behemoth. Nobody has really come close but All Elite Wrestling are the latest to, at the very least, gain a foothold in the industry. What follows is AEW: […]

Rogue Legacy 2 is a rogue-lite 2D platform/slasher from Canadian coders Cellar Door.  It’s the follow-up to the beloved 2013 original and while it’s been around on Steam since 2020, it’s finally landed on PSN this month as a surprising PS Extra freebie.  We’re not sure why it’s taken so long […]

Frictional Games have been at the forefront of the indie horror genre and their Amnesia series has been, for the most part, very well received. I’ve yet to play the earlier games but I always considered their restrictive nature to be off-putting. Sneaking around an environment with little to arm […]

Orbital Bullet is a run and gun shooter/platformer that comes to us from German games dev SmokeStab.  And while we get plenty of run and gunners to review here at PlayStation Country, this one has a very cool mechanic that elevates it above many of its contemporaries.  The gimmick here is […]
