It’s not very often I review something that’s already had a consensus form. Iron Galaxy’s latest venture is one of those cases. A game whose quality is at odds with its price tag, just what does Extinction have to offer? First things first, Extinction‘s inspirations are worn proudly with Attack […]

Sir Eatsalot is a 2D platformer/adventure game that is out now exclusively on PS Vita and it features the titular knight as he battles the evil witch Hysterica who has poisoned the kingdom of Gluttington with sour lemonade. As the name, and screenshots below, suggest, Eatsalot is on the chubby […]

Casing aside their musou sensibilities, 2016’s Attack on Titan saw Omega Force receive praise for their representation of the popular anime. Japanese developers in general have been under a great resurgence and, with that, Western audiences have become more receptive to what they have to offer. With that in mind, […]

Over the past year, this job’s given me the opportunity to dive deep into Asian horror. A genre that offers it’s own set of trappings, the Eastern flavour seems to focus more on psychology rather than gore and relentless pressure. Red Candle Games offered up their own attempt last year […]

A Steam release in 2016, Flying Carpet games bring their journey of an unlikely duo to the Playstation 4. Reminiscent of ICO and other games about directing a couple from one area to the next, can this arrival on a new platform bring in some new faces into a bright […]

As seen with Yooka-Laylee and Snake Pass earlier this year, the 3D platformer is back. Developers are making the push for the classic games of yore and Unbox: Newbies Adventure is yet another to take a leap into the fold. Much like Yooka-Laylee and Snake Pass, here is another […]

Judging this game solely on it’s cover, I was expecting Get Even to be a ballsy revenge shooter. Luckily, there’s more substance to it from a studio that does tend to stray into shooting territory with supernatural elements. Coming from Polish developers The Farm 51, Get Even looks to tell […]

Forgive me if I expected something by the numbers from a psychological horror game set in an asylum. Italian developer LKA have brought Town of Light to the Playstation 4 after last year’s PC release. Does this look into antiquated mental health treatment and the patients that undertook it provide […]

Full motion video always carries a nostalgic reverence and charm, these days. Wales Interactive are looking to benefit by presenting Late Shift. Focusing a touch more on being a film equivalent of a Choose Your Own Adventure book, this provocative mix of game and movie is trying to deliver something different […]

Shorter, story-focused experiences have certainly gained traction over the last decade. With a briefer form, writers and developers have managed to produce some excellent results. The latest project to follow suit is PaperSeven’s Blackwood Crossing, a coming of age drama centred around two close, orphaned siblings. As with most in […]

FATED: The Silent Oath is a new release for PSVR. An adventure game that, although the title doesn’t make it obvious, is episodic. This is merely the first part of the story. You play as a Viking father who has recently died in an accident. A god is willing to […]

There was a time in the 80’s where movies about kids meeting up with unlikely companions were all the rage. I’m still nostalgic for them and Spiral House are hoping you are too. Troll and I looks to re-enforce those feelings whilst providing an action adventure with plenty of ambition. The […]
