Persona 5 Royal review
Persona 5 Royal is now available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Steam. If you haven’t played Persona 5 Royal then now is the perfect time to do so. This is a massive, 100+ hours JPRG, however, it manges to maintain a great pace throughout, it’s always entertaining and probably available on your…

Marvel Snap review
Marvel Snap is a mobile card game that has managed to reduce the complexity and distill it into micro-bursts of distilled fun. The game is getting a wide range of praise from all angles, and for good reason too. This is short, sharp, snappy and a load of fun, and today I’m going to run…

A Plague Tale: Requiem review
A Plague Tale is back with its sequel, Requiem, following on from the first game A Plague Tale Innocence, which managed to pleasantly surprise audiences when that was released back in 2019. It wowed fans with its unique rat-tech, and now A Plague Tale Requiem is here to improve on the first game, as Amicia…

Scorn review
Scorn is a puzzle game; unsettling and often very off-putting. It has tons of atmosphere, although I have a feeling this is going to be a very divisive game. You exist in a very fleshy world. It appears as if muscles adore the walls, and blood makes every surface slippery. Machines and living entities appear…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection review
2022 has been a big year for the Heroes in a Half-Shell. First, we got Shredder’s Revenge, and then Konami decided to release the ultimate package for Turtles fans with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Cowabunga Collection. This is a collection of NES, SNES, Megadrive and Gameboy games, plus a load of instruction manuals…

Overwatch 2 review
Overwatch 2 was released this week after a couple of successful beta tests earlier in the year, plus the original Overwatch is no more. This is an iterative change rather than a huge redesign for Overwatch, which was considered many people’s game of the year back in 2016. Much has changed in the shooter landscape…

The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow review
The Excavation of Hobb’s Barrow is a gothic, narrative adventure game set in the small northern town of Bewley. Wary of outsiders and damp with rain, this Victorian town is the perfect setting for this excavation mystery and adventure where we follow the exploits of Thomasina Bateman, trying to solve the mystery of Hobb’s Barrow.…

The Last of Us Part 1 review
The Last Of Us is considered one of the best games of its generation, probably the best game on PlayStation 3, and The Last Of Us Remaster could be considered one of the best games on the PS4. Now, in 2022, we’ve got The Last Of Us Part 1, a remaster-slash-remake, which brings the game…

Tinykin review
Tinykin is a 3D platformer, that looks a lot like Pikmin, although plays rather different. It’s fast, there’s plenty to explore and it’s a game well worth checking out. Tinykin speaks to the collector in you. It’s a game that can be played in short play sessions, it’s pick up and play and you can…

Midnight Fight Express review
Midnight Fight Express is a new isometric punch-up simulator, where one man takes on an army of enemies in this modern take on the beat ’em up genre. The game is also packed with pop culture references including Fight Club, plus the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, meaning you’re going to be in for…

Rollerdrome review
Rollerdrome is a cross between Tony Hawk, a first-person shooter and Running Man. It’s a new kind of sport where players skate for their lives while mowing down bad guys at the same time. This one is a console exclusive to PlayStation 5 and may be one of the best under-the-radar indies this year. While…

God of War review
God of War, originally released in 2018 on the PlayStation 4, was a fantastic reboot of Kratos’ character from the original trilogy. God of War went down as one of the best games on the PS4, plus it was many people’s Game of the Year in 2018, and today I’m going to revisit the game…
