Within the Blade – PS4/PS5 Review

7 months on I’ve finally had a chance to get a Playstation 5. Naturally, this opens me up for some reviews and I’ve had my eye on Chivalry 2 for the past month. Torn Banner Studio’s medieval multiplayer combat has been confined to PC, until recently. With console versions out, […]

Review of the base game can be found here. The third DLC for Graveyard Keeper has been released and it’s the most involved yet. It adds new quests, items, locations and story and is worth checking out. The first aspect you’ll probably see from the new content is that the […]

Graveyard Keeper – Game of Crone DLC – PS4 Review

Graveyard Keeper has been out on PS4 for a couple of years so why review it now? Well a new DLC has released, Game of Crone, and it just made sense to cover the game in its entirety and then tackle the DLC separately. All three DLC integrate into the […]

Chicory: A Colorful Tale – PS5 Review

Survival games have never really clicked with me. The idea of planning a run out is appealing but I’ve never enjoyed the meter management that comes with it. On top of that, some feel perpetually in a state of early access and I’m never sure when a survival game is […]

Conan Exiles: Isle of Siptah – PS4 Review

Indigo 7: Quest For Love is a puzzle game by Spanish studio Dolores Entertainment but one that offers both a fairly unusual puzzle gameplay mechanic and also a fairly sizeable story about musicians and love triangles all done in a cartoony style.  This gives the game two sides to its […]

Indigo 7: Quest For Love – PS4 Review

I recently reviewed the Mass Effect Legendary Edition and pointed out that minus a couple of features it was a collection done right. Now it’s the turn of the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, also three games from the previous generation packed together. Things aren’t as straightforward here, which I’ll get […]
