Are you ready for Rogue Flight? – Review
Rogue Flight slapped me in the face with a retro anime-inspired trailer mere weeks ago, and now it’s here (or nearly, the launch date is 25th October) on PS5, PC, Switch and XBSX. It’s a blast from the past with some good old-school arcade-inspired shooting ‘em up. Think of something like Afterburner. Or minigames from…

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 we’ve come full circle and I’m back to digging the dirt, but this time there’s ore and mechs. Mining Mechs (available on PC and recently released for console) does find some…

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
There’s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that it’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…

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 twen… thirt… a good number of years. Man, I’m getting old. Once this game gets going, you’ll be managing your…

Star Trek Prodigy Season 2 – Review
Remember how Star Wars had its kids animated shows in Clone Wars and Rebels? And how they eventually evolved into a core part of the franchise with quality storytelling, popular with fans of all ages? Well, Star Trek Prodigy has pulled that off in only two seasons. The CG animation and kiddy characters and humour…

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 “flat” genre game that has been elevated by dropping it into VR. With the number of escape room-like VR games, I guess point and…

A Tactical Future – Capes – Review
It’s probably bad form to start a review by directly comparing it to another game, but remember how people wanted Marvel Midnight Suns to be X-com with superpowers but were disappointed by random card pulls and small arenas? Well, Capes is here to save the day in a tactical turn-based combat with a team of…

Simulated Space Chaos – Space Docker VR – Review
My PSVR2 may not be covered in dust, but my PlayStation HOTAS certainly was until I discovered Space Docker VR. It has been out a while but still provides a unique experience on PSVR2—space flight, complete with Newtonian laws of physics.
