Void Crew is a co-op focused space management/combat/survival game that comes to us from Copenhagen-based coders Hutlihut Games after a successful stint on Steam two years ago. The game sees you battling against a mysterious alien force known as The Hollow through a series of missions in a rogue-like manner.  […]

Hidden Cats in Tokyo is this month’s hidden cat game from our pals at Silesia Games. This time it’s coded by Brazilian dev Nukearts who have previous hidden cat game form with jaunts to Paris, London and Berlin amongst others. If you ever played one of these sorts of games […]

From Puppygames and Thalamus Digital comes the game formerly known as Basingstoke. Originally released on PC in 2018, it has made the move to PS5 and gained a Welcome to prefix, though we have to question quite why. The Basingstoke part could just as well have been any number of […]

Earthion is a 16-bit style horizontally-scrolling shoot ’em up and it comes to us from Japan’s own Ancient Corp, a studio that has a history of, let’s say, unusual games that goes back to 1991.  Founded by Yūzō Koshiro, the legendary video game composer behind soundtracks for games like Streets of […]

Whilst art and craft aesthetics are not new, I still get a kick out of seeing them. Hirogami is the latest to give them a shot. A joint effort from Bandai Namco’s Singapore and Malaysia studios, it has an enchanting look and charming presentation. Whilst it’s not short on ideas, […]

ZOE Begone! is a shoot ’em up that’s about as far away from a traditional shooter as you can get.  Forget your militaristic skirmishes or epic space battles, because this game comes from Retchy (Graeme Hawkins), a solo dev/animator from Scotland and he’s not looking to make the next R-Type or 1942.  Instead, this […]

I can find it really hard to say much about games that keep themselves simple and to the point. Pic-A-Block is one of those games. A puzzle game from TreeFall Studios, it’s all about sliding and removing blocks. It holds very little mystery but it does work as advertised. Whilst […]

Hook: Complete Edition is, as the name might suggest, an amalgam of two separate titles. Hook and Hook 2 in fact. Penned as puzzle, casual and brain training on the PSN store, that’s a fair description. OK, review done. This is alright, go play it. Hours of mild diversion. Seriously […]

From Vancouver-based developer and publisher Buffalo Buffalo we have the latest rhythm action game on PS5, in this case Fresh Tracks.  We have to confess, we hoped the dev name was in fact the grammatically correct sentence “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” but sadly not. To quote […]

Otherwar is a tower defence game and it comes to use from Polish devs Kantal Collective.  Originally released in 2023 on Steam, the game is now available on PSN and we were pretty excited to try out a tower defence game, a once dominant genre that has fallen out of […]

Otherwar – PS5 Review

Hell is Us feels like a deceptive game. The trailers big up the lack of hand holding and the soulsian combat but neither truly reach their apex. Rogue Factor do make up most of the distance with an approach that makes exploration worthwhile. The central backdrop offers a potentially interesting […]

In the same way that Mad Catz had the third-party controller market sewn up for in previous generations, when we think of audio headsets for gaming, we generally think of Turtle Beach.  This US-based has been pushing out gaming hardware since 2005 but really came to prominence when the Xbox […]
