Alwa’s Legacy comes from Elden Pixels after a successful kickstarter and a 2020 PC release. It was well received for its focus on exploration and interesting tweaks on player traversal. Metroidvania’s might be commonplace on game stores but it’s been a while since one strayed across my path. Thankfully, this […]

Alwa’s Legacy – PS4 Review

I’ve got a pretty wide range of likes when it comes to video game genres. I’d say most have a common thread in that I like adventure which taps into RPGs, JRPGs, action games, open world games, survival horror games and metroidvania games. I also like a challenge within reason, […]

Horatio Goes Snowboarding is an arcade-style mix of two genres, the obvious snowboarding part and another section that is a basic traffic-avoiding game in the style of Frogger.  It comes to us by way of Infinite State Games, the studio behind the fantastic Rogue Aces and the maddeningly addictive Don’t Die, Mr […]

From dev Bad Dream Games and publisher HandyGames, comes musical puzzle platformer One Hand Clapping. Previously an early access title on Stadia, it has now made its way to PS4. So was it worth the wait? Largely, yes. What was originally a tech demo student project in 2016 has become […]

If nothing else, visual novels are a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and see into other people’s lives. It’s a genre very much not for me but, over the years, it’s given me plenty to think about. A Year of Springs, developed by npckc is […]

I do love spy fiction. I love the subterfuge and espionage and when a game gives me stealth or a heist to pull off, I’m all ears. Way Down is a hastily put together videogame tie-in for 2021 movie The Vault. Coming from Mediaset Studios, this is the latest effort […]

Of all the movie licensed games that have been coming out recently, Terminator: Resistance was the one that stood out as having the tallest mountain to climb. When it came out in 2019 there was a general expectation that it would fail due to this, thanks in no small part […]

From developer Hakama and publisher Marvelous in conjunction with chiefly localisation from the consistently great XSeed, we have Rune Factory 4 Special. It’s a refinement of the a 3DS game from 2012, though it took two whole years extra to localise for European audiences. Unless you’re a massive fan of […]

The PlayStation Talents initiative is a great idea. Helping Spanish creatives get off the ground is a worthy cause in theory, but in practise the prices given to them do not match the quality or amount of game you’re getting. Wukong, which is influenced by the ever popular Journey to […]

With so many games out there, it can be hard to notice the ones that never make it out of development. There are high profile examples of this, such as the ill-fated Star Wars 1313 or Sonic X-Treme on Sega Saturn that come to mind, but for every failed Sonic […]
