Returnal Ascension review
Returnal was one of 2021’s best games and Sony made the surprise announcement of Returnal DLC earlier in March. Today I’m going to be checking out Returnal Ascension including all the reasons to jump back into the chilling alien adventures with Selene. Returnal ended up towards the top of many games of the year lists…

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 review
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a game I mention every two weeks on the podcast, not because I play it a lot, but because I run through the UK sales charts to check out the best selling games that week. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is always in the top ten. I think it may have…

Nightmare Reaper review
Nightmare Reaper is a new first-person shooter with a retro twist from Blazing Bit Games. This is a homage to old school first-person shooters like Wolfenstein, Quake and Doom by mixing the retro look and feel with more modern concepts like rougelike elements. The end result is a fun, frantic shooter which gets me nostalgic…

Kirby and the Forgotten Land review
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the latest outing for our spherical pink friend, and it’s his first outing in 3D. The game is developed by HAL Laboratory, and they’ve done a wonderful job converting Kirby to the 3D environment, providing some excellent combat, great platforming and overall a very wholesome and fun experience on…

Tunic review
Tunic is a game that’s been talked about for sometime, but finally it’s been released and it’s well worth the wait. This is an isometic, Zelda-Souls mash up, with plenty of exploration, puzzles and surprisingly tough boss battles. When you first start out in Tunic you don’t have much. You are a cute little Fox,…

Vampire Survivors review
Vampire Survivors is a bullet hell-like shooter and then throw in rougelike mechanics to create a surprising and very satisfying game, one that will likely bring you back time and time again. For a game that’s called Vampire Survivors, it’s surprising that you don’t play as a Vampire. There are loads of monsters in the…

OlliOlli World review
OlliOlli World is a brand new skating game from Roll7. Rather than your Tony Hawk or Skate type of Skateboarding game, this is a 2D sidescroller that is very easy to pick up and play. It’s a great game for long trick sessions, or if you want to fill in a gap in your schedule.…

Lost Ark review-in-progress
Lost Ark was released in the West this past week after a successful closed beta back in 2021, after a few successful years in Korea, Russia, and Japan. This game is huge, with very satisfying combat and layers upon layers of depth, each will compel you to come back day after day. There’s been a…

Sifu review
Sifu is a new stylish, kung fu action game from SloClap. This one reminds me of my Double Dragon days, but instead of a side-scroller this is in full 3D and has all the bells and whistles of a next-generation game. It’s also pretty tough and had deep fighting mechanics. Sifu is fairly straightforward in…

Pokemon Legends Arceus review
Pokemon Legends Arceus has arrived as the first ‘big’ first-party potential blockbuster of the year. Gamefreak and the Pokemon franchise have been in a rut and fans have been calling for a shake-up in terms of mechanics, and Pokemon Legends Arceus is a step in the right direction. When it was first announced we wanted…

Dark Souls Remastered review
Dark Souls originally came out in 2011, and since then it’s helped redefine the action RPG. I, unfortunately, missed it the first time around, and with Elen Ring coming out soon, now seemed like the perfect time to revisit Miyazaki’s first masterpiece. Today I’m going to run through my thoughts and impressions of Dark Souls…
