You know the world’s in a weird place when a sports title comes out ahead of a new season. MotoGP 20 becomes my first taste of the sport this year and my first return to the series in a few years. Since then, Milestone’s changed engines and are making noises […]

Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo is a retro-inspired shoot ’em up by Manchester-based dev partnership Bare Knuckle Games.  There’s been something of a glut of shoot ’em ups released on PSN recently with a lot of sub-genres and graphical styles in evidence but this game manages to bring something […]

Life under lockdown’s been weird. I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing some mundane things in video games in lieu of travelling from place to place in reality. Perhaps it’s a good thing then that Bus Simulator‘s map expansion DLC has finally arrived on consoles. Stillalive Studio’s public transport […]

Bus Simulator: Map Expansion DLC – PS4 Review

Ratalaika are back and after last month’s Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet they’ve ported another visual novel in the form of Blind Men. Ian quite liked that one so have they sourced another decent one or will this just be for those looking for a simple PS4 and Vita platinum? […]

Blind Men – PS4/Vita Review

Rush Rover is a top-down, twin-stick shoot ’em up from Radio, the studio of one-man developer Chengjin Wu.  The coding, graphics and music were all done by him via Game Maker Studio.  This might make it all sound a little bit unexciting, especially as we’re awash with twin-stick shooters on […]

  If you were on twitter a couple of years ago, watching out for interesting Indie development stories then you may have come across My Friend Pedro. Littering the internet echo chamber was a bunch of Gifs that depicted a masked killer performing some slick moves, flipping through the air […]

My Friend Pedro – PS4 Review

Having recently published two shoot ’ems up with very odd visual styles, Eastasiasoft are at it again.  Red Death looked like a really old PC game from the ’80s with its four colour palette and Rainbows, Toilets and Unicorns looked like someone had eaten a bucket of Skittles and thrown […]

Disaster Report 4 – Summer Memories, so called because it includes the DLC epilogue, is something of a relic. This is down to the fact it was originally slated to be released on PS3 in 2011, but due to the actual earthquake in Japan, it was put on hold indefinitely. […]

When I first downloaded Dogurai I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the name actually tells you quite a bit, at least about the character you play as. You play as a samurai who is also a dog. One of the those ‘Ooooh’ moments you get when playing games, but […]

Dogurai – PS4 Review

In this job you see games of all sizes and origins. As well as the big hitters, you get smaller efforts that have sometimes seen a prior Steam or mobile release. Some even find their way on to web browsers before an eventual console release. Random Heroes: Gold Edition is […]

Not many indie games would open with a five minute cutscene. But then, not all indie games are from the fantastic Capy Games. Six years in the making, Below was a timed exclusive on Eggsbox and Win 10. It was with more than a little surprise that we noticed Below […]

Below – PS4 Review

It wasn’t too long ago that we were discussing Yoku’s Island Express, a charming amalgamation born out of the union between platformer and pinball action. While every indie gaming developer seemed dead set on following the retro/ roguelike trend, Yoku’s Island Express stood as an outlier, utterly unique in approach […]
