It’s sometimes difficult to find the right stance to take when discussing games that are designated as ‘clones’ of other popular titles. After all, the video games industry is mostly built on a clone in some form or other, with one ground-breaking title making way for its copies, only for […]

Immortals: Fenyx Rising – PS5 Review

Unto The End from developer 2 Ton Studios and publisher Big Sugar, ported  to consoles by Stage Clear Studios. It’s a cave-em-up with its own unique challenges. As the disclaimer at the outset of the game says “Unto The End is different. Set aside any expectations or assumptions. Combat is […]

10Tons Ltd released the PS4 version of Undead Horde back in January this year (2020).  While presenting like a standard hack and slashing dungeon crawler, it was actually a very original game with an excellent core mechanic that allowed you to resurrect your dead enemies and make them fight for you.  We […]

Undead Horde – PS5 Review

As maligned as the visual novel genre is, I keep wondering if I’m going to come across one with a genuinely good story.  They do exist but I find the majority I encounter land in the same trappings that stifle my enjoyment of a good read.  The latest to cross […]

Autumn’s Journey – PS4 Review

It may not carry the same weight that it did forty years ago but the name Space Invaders is still huge when it comes to gaming.  It is considered to be one of the great grandfathers of gaming.  Not the first arcade game by any means but the first to catch […]

Space Invaders Forever – PS4 Review

Before reading this review, look outside your window. Go ahead, I will wait. See that? Crazy isn’t it? Not only do you have Christmas to deal with, which is stressful enough. It’s also 2020, by far the toughest and most depressing year that most of us have experienced. It’s times […]

PHOGS! – PS4 Review

Ponpu from developer Purple Tree and publisher Zordix is a classic example of never judge a book by its cover. Similarly, never judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover. On the face of it, Ponpu is yet another PS4 indie game. What sets it apart is the execution. It’s all very […]

Ponpu – PS4 Review

Our man Mike reviewed the PS4 iteration of this not that long ago, back in September in fact. We were hoping he’d follow up with the PS5 launch redux, but it wasn’t to be as he didn’t manage to snag a console yet. As luck would have it, I was […]

WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship – PS5 Review

I don’t tend to see a lot of brawlers these days. Sometimes it’s a genre that’s tough to get right but we’ve seen with the River City Ransom revivals and Steets of Rage recent return that there’s an audience for a good punch-up. Paw Paw Paw is the latest indie […]

Paw Paw Paw – PS4 Review

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is what Sonic Team do now instead of, you know, Sonic games.  Puyo Puyo™ Tetris® 2 (to use Sega’s official trademark acknowledgements) is a sequel to 2014’s fantastic puzzle game that straddles two titans of the arcade puzzle genre. This reviewer played the first game to […]

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 – PS5 Review

Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure is an indie puzzler from Thai-based coders 7 Ravens Studio and a game that revisits a classic game format from years past.  Any reader over the age of twenty who is reading this, will have seen from the screenshots that this is pretty much a Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move clone.  […]

Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure – PS4 Review

Another day, another indie title. This one comes from Ninja Rabbit studios. Micetopia is a fairly simple tale of a mouse called Rich. He’s one of the few villagers left after monsters have taken some of the other residents hostage. With a sword in hand, our little hero has two […]
