All good things have to end and Kylotonn’s stint with the World Rally Championship license is coming to a conclusion. As a swansong, WRC Generations consolidates all the previous content under one tidy package. Whilst they’re not pushing the boat out, there is plenty here to admire and, with the […]

WRC Generations – PS5 Review

Tanuki Sunset is a skateboarding game from Canadian coders Rewind Games.  However, that description doesn’t really do this game justice at all.  The game combines downhill skateboarding with a glorious ’80s aesthetic and it does it all to great effect. You play as the titular Tanuki, who is a rather radical […]

Super Woden GP is an isometric racing game from Spanish software studio ViJuDa that landed on Windows last year but has now found its way across to PSN courtesy of publishers EastAsiaSoft. The developer describes the game as being very much influenced by console games from the ’90s back when top-down […]

Sophstar is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up in the classic ’90s style and it was put together by Brazilian studio Banana Bytes.  It’s kind of old school, as evidenced by the 2D sprites and simple backdrops but comes with a lot of options and ways to play that give it maybe […]

Sophstar – PS5 Review

Of all genres that could do with more entries in this industry, fighting games is one of them. I blame Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat for this of course, the big issue being that when those games came out, you were either one of those two or part of […]

Missile Command: Recharged is an updated remake of Atari’s classic 1980 arcade game.  Essentially a shoot ’em up of sorts, Missile Command was a single screen blaster where you defended your city from incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles using missiles of your own. It was a brilliant game, probably Atari’s best in […]

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a stealth-based adventure game from Bordeaux-based coders, Asobo Studio and is the sequel to the original 2019 title A Plague Tale: Innocence.   This is a direct follow-on so it’s worth recapping what the original game was all about. In Innocence you played as Amicia de Rune, a […]

I do love a good souls-like but there is a sense that taking them into the second dimension can limit combat and exploration. There’s no shortage of triers and Third Sphere Game Studios are the latest to give the stripped down experience a shot. Released on steam in January, a […]

Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo is a game we didn’t necessarily expect to see. Coming from Spanish developer Pendulo Studios and longtime French publisher Microids, this is a mystery adventure with occasional QTEs based on the premise of Hitchcock’s film. Rather than closely following the plot of the Jimmy Stewart 1958 […]

Before we go any further on this one. Please note that this is a review for the second season of Sam and Max, a Telltale Adventure. The first season is known as Save the World, which we also reviewed at the same time here. Beyond Time and Space is a […]

Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space Remastered – PS4 ...

Of all the enduring franchises from my youth, Sam and Max must be one of the most unlikely properties to stand the test of time. Originating as a comic book from 1987, the Freelance Police duo has been transcending media, from the comics to the original DOS game, then to […]

It’s been a long while since I reviewed Dakar 18. I found that game to be ambitious but really difficult to breach with some clumsy navigational tools and a game that didn’t look all that hot. Time has passed and now Saber Interactive Porto have delivered a follow-up. It’s a […]
