  • Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports – Review

    Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports – Review

    What we have with Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports is a collection of four sports games: Golf, Tennis, Football (Soccer), and Basketball. All four are solid, if rather basic, but given the subject matter here, I donโ€™t think anyone buying this will be looking for deep simulations! These are meant to be light-hearted, arcade-style…


  • Reach new depths in Mining Mechs – Review

    Reach new depths in Mining Mechs – Review

    One of my first-ever reviews was for Dirt Inc, an idle game on Android where you dig ever deeper for increasingly valuable dirt. Now weโ€™ve come full circle and Iโ€™m back to digging the dirt, but this time thereโ€™s ore and mechs. Mining Mechs (available on PC and recently released for console) does find some…


  • Gori: Cuddly Carnage – Review

    Gori: Cuddly Carnage – Review

    Hey kids, do you like violence? Not just violence, but murdering, while tearing apart cuddly toys that have become something more…grotesque? Well strap in and get a splatter guard ready as we enter Gori: Cuddly Carnage. Gori is set in a world where humanity has been destroyed and its only saviour is a cute cuddly…


  • Pushing the PS5 to its limit – Astro Bot – Review

    Pushing the PS5 to its limit – Astro Bot – Review

    This is probably one of the easiest reviews I’ll ever write as I could easily say, “9/10, buy it, you wonโ€™t be disappointed” and leave it at that. But Astro Bot for the PlayStation 5 deserves so much more than that, so here goes. You play as the titular Astro Bot, a little robot who…


  • Kaiju No.8 – Review

    Kaiju No.8 – Review

    So I gave this 12-episode anime a shot because Uniqlo had some cool t-shirts for it. Which is not my worst justification for watching a new show… The first episode introduces us to a world, or at least a Japan where Kaiju (giant monsters) are pretty common. We don’t know where they come from or…

  • Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review

    Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review

    Thereโ€™s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that itโ€™s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and…

    Take on Galacticare’s New Free Challenge Mode – Review

    Not enough death in your dungeon? Too much cash in your pocket? Then grab yourself the free Challenge Mode DLC from Galacticare for PC. If youโ€™re not already a Diabolical Director, you can check out my previous review of the full game here. I also got the PlayStation edition and am happy to report it…

    Launder Your Way To Success in Arcade Paradise VR – Review

    Arcade Paradise VR doesn’t mess around when it comes to nostalgia. The main menu drops you in front of a classic arcade cabinet in some black void with a carpet that instantly teleported me back twenโ€ฆ thirtโ€ฆ a good number of years. Man, Iโ€™m getting old. Once this game gets going, youโ€™ll be managing your…


Pneumata – Is this the horror game you’ve been waiting for?
Pneumata โ€“ Is this the horror game youโ€™ve been waiting for?

A new horror game is on the horizon and not in the season that you would expectย andย I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to play a preview of Pneumata prior to its release. The section of the Pneumata I was allowed to play came from about 60% into the main story.ย Thisย was setย inside an asylum, butย weโ€™re not toldย how this relates to the plot or the motivations Iย was meantย to be having. While theseย certainlyย remained unclear to me, I found myself drawn to reading every text log I could findย justย to try and piece what I could together about the worldย that Iย was havingย to [โ€ฆ]

Can you survive the Withering Rooms? โ€“ Review

Welcome to a world where theย normalย natural rules donโ€™t apply while the rules of the supernatural and Occult run wild and free, thisย is Withering Rooms.

Protect your base and return home – Lesson Learned – Review
Protect your base and return home โ€“ Lesson Learned โ€“ Review

Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve played a tower defence game, but once I saw the art style of Lesson Learned, I knew it was time for a resurgence.

Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains – Review
Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains โ€“ Review

I hadn’t heard of the Xuan-Yuan series much before but it is a long-running RPG series hailing from China starting in 1990.

Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye
Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye

Most people think of VR games as either gimmick-driven or involving leaping around your living room like Tigger with a blindfold. Retropolis 2 is one of the third type: a classically โ€œflatโ€ genre game that has been elevated by dropping it into VR. With the number of escape room-like VR games, I guess point and click was going to be a natural progression. Retropolis is a noir detective story set in a cartoon world of robots. The style is not quite what Iโ€™d think of as cell-shaded, but has lots of big blocks of bold colour, like a picture book. [โ€ฆ]

Frieren: Beyond Journeyโ€™s End – Anime Review
Frieren: Beyond Journeyโ€™s End โ€“ Anime Review

A human Hero, a human Priest, a dwarf Axe Master, an elf Mage and a journey to save the world from the Demon King. Sounds pretty clichรฉ right? But what happens after that?

Relic Odyssey: Ruins of Xantao – Review
Relic Odyssey: Ruins of Xantao โ€“ Review

Relic Odyssey: Ruins of Xantao is a semi-roguelike, semi-survival, semi-dungeon crawler game in early access on Steam from new indie developer Honour Bound Games.

Change your perspective – Aarik And The Ruined Kingdom – Review
Change your perspective โ€“ Aarik And The Ruined Kingdom โ€“ Review

The kingdom lays in ruin, your father is fast asleep and your mother is gone, and only you can save them. This is Aarik And The Ruined Kingdom, a cute 3D puzzle game from Shatterproof Games. You take control of Aarik, the young prince who has found his fatherโ€™s old crown. This crown gives him the ability to change the perspective of the current level. By changing the perspective, new pathways open to you, allowing you to reach new heights and locations, as you progress to the exit. You later find gems which unlock additional powers. One allows you to [โ€ฆ]

Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review
Is Star Wars The Acolyte really โ€œthatโ€ bad? โ€“ Review

Thereโ€™s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that itโ€™s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and enjoy. The Acolyte has its flaws, but perhaps surprisingly theyโ€™re not the same flaws that The Internet is crying about. About 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace, a group of force-sensitive witches raise two girls. Things are a bit creepy and cult-like, [โ€ฆ]
