Little Orpheus from semi-indie dev The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode, tells the story of the hapless Ivan Ivanovich as he’s interrogated by an incredulous general after the event. You see, Ivan is somehow being held responsible for the loss of the titular nuclear device in the centre of […]

Song of Horror was released episodically on PC over the past couple of years but has now come to PS4 in a complete package. Split into five chapters, it takes inspiration from survival horror of old and contains plenty of references too for those with a knowledge of all things […]

Here we are then. After five episodes of varying quality and length, we reach the end of Big Bad Wolf’s The Council in the form of Episode 5: Checkmate. While this is a review of Episode 5, it’s best that we view it in the wider context of the whole […]

The Council Episode 5: Checkmate – PS4 Review

January 2, 2019 in PS4 / Reviews tagged branching narrative / episodic / illuminati / the council / the waxen pith by Ian

Still reeling from Episode 3’s revelations, we found ourselves knocked on our backs by the twists and tribulations The Council Episode 4 threw at us. Burning Bridges takes what we thought were the paranoid rantings of a madman and runs with them emphatically. We’d tell you what they amounted to […]

Coming a couple of months after episode one, the second episode of Big Bad Wolf’s Gallic tinged historical adventure The Council is upon us. Hide and Seek carries on immediately after the events of The Mad Ones with your first task being to investigate the events that led to episode […]

The Council is the debut game from Bordeaux based developer Big Bad Wolf Studio, who are by no means novices as this game shows. This being the first episode of a five part narrative based series, you’d be forgiven for writing it off and assuming it continued in the same […]

Space Rift is an episodic space opera that sees you playing as a space miner called Casey Black who unwittingly finds himself in a key role in a battle for freedom against the greedy Weyss and Pandora corporations. Taking it leaf out of Total Recall’s book, Space Rift‘s war is […]

Space Rift: Episode 1 – PSVR Review

Look. This is a tricky one to review. Maybe that’s why there aren’t many reviews of the game out there. Of all the games that have come along in this PSVR launch period, Loading Human was certainly not one of the ones I was most excited about but, for various […]

It was a dark and stormy night, the rain pounded the sidewalk like an ex beating on his wife. The few pedestrians that were out, stalked the city streets on their own secret errands. Somewhere, some how a crime had been committed. Blues and Bullets is an episodic game set […]

And so the end has come, the final part in the rather brilliant The Walking Dead: Michonne miniseries. My reviews of episode 1 and 2 ( here and here) have praised the story and the urgency of the action. It’s time now to find if this final instalment lives up […]

Agent 47 gets to visit more places than Alan Whicker, and in Hitman: Episode 2 Sapienza you get to have a tour round an Italian coastal town for some murder and sun. It is an odd prospect reviewing Hitman as the gameplay is still identical to the first episode we […]

Hitman – Episode 2: Sapienza – PS4 Review

April 27, 2016 in PS4 tagged assassin / bald / dress-up / episodic / hitman by Steven

I’ve had a very much love hate relationship with the Hitman series of games. In a very real way this resulted in me loving Blood Money, liking Contracts and having just an odd sense of general apathy towards Absolution. The new instalment comes out some three years, and a new […]
