I’ve reviewed a few strategy games recently. Banner of the Maid was a more traditional strategy RPG whereas Spaceland had the strategy gameplay but although it had upgrades it was less reliant on RPG mechanics. Wintermoor Tactics Club falls into the same category as the latter. You control Alicia, a […]

Wintermoor Tactics Club – PS4 Review

From Belfast-based dev Level 91 and publisher PQube, comes Inertial Drift. A twin-stick driving game “set in a 90’s retro future.” So the future? Or the past? We’re confused. The influence of a particular manga / anime series with Japanese cars and drifting couldn’t be any clearer if we scrambled […]

Inertial Drift – PS4 Review

The visual novel deluge shows no signs of stopping although at least A Hero and a Garden is more of a clicker than a choose your own adventure. Coming from npckc, this knight’s story features some green thumb gardening and some charming life lessons. Simple in its approach, there’s a […]

A Hero and A Garden – PS4 Review

From Lucky Mountain Games (aka Trevor Ley) in conjunction with Sumo Nottingham, published by Curve Digital, comes Hotshot Racing. Formerly known as Racing Apex and some ten years in the making, initially being intended as an iOS release. For anyone as long in the tooth as we are, it’s pretty […]

Hotshot Racing – PS4 Review

You can feel the winds changing, we are at the edge of a new console generation and the anticipation for the future is downright palpable. It’s a time to be looking forward to what is coming for sure, but also the time in which the current generation is supposed to […]

As the clumsily structured name might tell you, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a remaster of the original Kingdoms of Amalur, an open-world RPG that came out for last gen consoles back in 2012.  However, despite sporting a real pedigree in terms of the people behind it, the game underperformed commercially and […]

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a compendium of the two classic PS1 skateboarding games and it has finally been released to much acclaim and huge outpourings of nostalgic glee.  Sure, we live in an age where a lot of well-loved games get a fresh coat of paint and […]

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 – PS4 Review

The original Wasteland was a precursor to Fallout, the old, good ones. Wasteland 3 has far more in common with those tactical, turn based RPGs than what Fallout has become under Bethesda and it’s all the better for it. Obviously it’s set in a post-apocalypse and it requires a massive […]

Wasteland 3 – PS4 Review

From Honey ∞ Parade Games, Shade Game Development and publisher Marvelous! comes the extremely Japanese Kandagawa Jet Girls. This is a licenced game of the anime of the same name in which the jetter is the pilot of the jetski and the shooter is, well, you work it out. The […]

Kandagawa Jet Girls – PS4 Review

Kylotonn’s handling of the long-running WRC series has seen it steadily refined into a formidable off-road simulation. I felt that last year’s effort was a real step forward with a substantial career mode and some stunning recreations of the Championship’s dirt and gravel roads. In this, the most strangest of […]

WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship – PS4 Review

Remnant: From the Ashes has been a good time. The previous DLC, Swamps of Corsus, was not really what I was expecting. Adding more events and bosses to an area that was already in the game was a little disappointing but the addition of Survival Mode was excellent with a […]

Remnant: From the Ashes – Subject 2923 – DLC Review

I’m having a hard time with the visual novel genre. There’s something about the writing in general that puts me off. It’s a very wordy genre and it’s all very geared towards telling, rather than showing. The next one on my docket is Cinders, from MoaCube. It’s a retelling of […]
