Police Shootout is a turn-based first person shooter from Polish dev team Hypnotic Ants. Their previous work includes Deconstruction Simulator, Ship Graveyard Simulator and Dreamo. None of which you’ll have heard of but you can tell from each game’s artwork that we’re not dealing with a triple-A studio here. And Police Shootout, pretty much from […]

Police Shootout – PS5 Review

It’s something of a shame that there’s some wonderful throwback first-person-shooters that don’t quite escape the PC’s gravitational pull. Even when some do make it across, I often wonder about the quality of the ports and controllers just don’t have the precision of a mouse. With that in mind, I […]

From Warsaw-based developer Gruby Entertainment and publisher Crunching Koalas comes cyberpunk themed FPS Deadlink. As has become vogue, or de rigeur if you will, it has roguelite elements. The schtick is that you’re the blunt instrument sent by the Corporate Security Agency to keep the megacorps by cracking open a […]

Robocop: Rogue City is a first-person shooter/adventure title from Polish coders Teyon who are best known for doing a pretty good job with Terminator: Resistance and so now are taking on another iconic character from ’80s movies with cybernetic and human bits and a penchant for shooting people. And the omens […]

There’s a weird phenomenon that happens sometimes in the indie game scene, where one dev comes up with an idea and almost immediately, another game releases with an uncanny resemblance to that idea. Last November, I reviewed a game called BPM: Bullets Per Minute Which featured the novel concept of marrying […]

Shadow Warrior 3 is the latest episode of the series that began life in 1997 as a PC FPS but was then rebooted in 2016 by Polish programmers Flying Wild Hog. Since then they’ve continued the series and, indeed, the story which focuses on an assassin called Lo Wang and […]

Serious Sam 4 is a first-person shooter developed by Croatian coders Croteam who are best known for, well, all the other Serious Sam games. This series started way back in 2001 and has included three other main games and a heap of VR spin-offs. The original Serious Sam was something of a […]

The first DLC for Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6 has arrived hot on the heels of the main game. Vaas: Insanity follows everyone’s favourite Far Cry villain, Vaas Montenegro, as he takes a trip into his own psyche just after the game’s main protagonist, Jason Brody stabs him to death. At that point, […]

When Vaas Montenegro, the charismatic psychopathic bad guy from Far Cry 3, talked about the definition of insanity, there was a certain irony that he was a creation of Ubisoft, the publishing behemoth behind such series as Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six. We’re all well-used to their tried and tested formula built […]

Deathloop has the weird distinction of being published by Bethesda, recently bought by Microsoft, but is a timed console exclusive on the PS5. Made by Arkane Lyon it has a lot in common, gameplay-wise, with the Dishonored series but is very much its own thing. You play as Colt, who […]

It’s hard to think of a fanbase that has had it rougher than those of us who like Terminator. With Salvation, Genisys and Dark Fate all disappointing in their own ways, it’s been a series that we’d quite happily leave in past. But there have been some brief moments where […]
