Not only am I not a games developer but I’m pretty sure that if I devoted myself one hundred percent to learning how to make them, I wouldn’t be able to make something capable of being sold on PSN if you gave me an entire year off to learn the […]

1 JYDGE is the latest in the unofficial trilogy of distopian twin-stick shooters from 10TonsLtd and comes hot on the heels of their previous one, Time Recoil. Borrowing heavily from both that game and Neon Chrome (which we really learned to love after we reviewed it), JYDGE follows is a mixture […]
JYDGE – PS4 Review
Time Recoil is the latest joint for 10TonsLtd, a developer that we’ve been following for a while here and it follows the template set by one of their earlier games, Neon Chrome, which you might know as a recent PS+ freebie. After cutting their teeth on basic physics puzzle/arcade games […]

You generally know what you’re going to get with a Housemarque game. Slick twin stick action and plenty of visual flair are the cornerstones of what the Finnish coders do but there’s a couple of things that are surprising about their latest joint. Firstly, Matterfall comes hot on the heels […]
Matterfall – PS4 Review
It seems that not a week goes by that we do not end up talking about a new independently developed Rogue-like action game. Once an underutilised genre, The Rogue-like has gone from strength to strength, cosying with many different genres in the process. For today’s indie Rogue botherer we have […]

Nex Machina is the latest shoot ’em up from twin-stick powerhouses Housemarque, best known for the masterful Resogun and the not-quite-as-special Alienation and Dead Nation games. As expected, it is another twin-stick shooter and it comes with a degree of anticipation even if this is one of the most crowded […]

Another twin-stick shooter with a bit of levelling up? Yes, Demon’s Crystals isn’t going to be winning any awards for originality and this little arcade shooter has an absolute tonne of competition on PSN already – I’m pretty sure we review at least one a month – so let’s keep […]
Demon’s Crystals – PS4 Review
Having recently rediscovered Neon Chrome, a cyberpunk twin-stick shooter roguelike that sees you taking on level after level of robotic enemies punctuated by occasional boss battles and plenty of opportunities to upgrade your offensive and defensive capabilities, it figured that basically the exact same thing would come along again and […]

5 These Stardust games seem to show up whenever Sony put out a new bit of hardware and Super Stardust Ultra VR continues the tradition, arriving as a launch title to support the PSVR headset. We’ve always liked this series of arcade-style twin-stick shooters but the PS4 entry for the series […]
Super Stardust Ultra VR – PSVR Review
Buenos Aires based coders OPQAM first came to our attention with their open-world twin-stick shooter Project Root, a game that we absolutely detested. We went as far as to give it two out of ten which didn’t reflect how well the game was put together technically but rather just how […]
DOGOS – PS4 Review
Who’s up for some arcade twin-stick business? That’s what’s on offer from Inversus, the brainchild of Ryan Juckett. The Bungie employee is now trying his hand at going solo and his first project looks to deliver some arcade goodness to the PlayStation 4. Is it another Everyday Shooter? In some […]
