Pneumata – Is this the horror game you’ve been waiting for?

A new horror game is on the horizon and not in the season that you would expect and 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. This was set inside an…

Abduct Yourself A Farm In Sokobalien – Review

Sokobalien recently received a console port so I jumped at the chance to play this cute alien puzzle game from Cavylabs and MadCat Corp. Just like many extra-terrestrial beings, your little alien avatar has a penchant for stealing livestock from farmlands for some unknown, definitely un-susworthy reasons. As such, it is down to you to push the various…

Courtney Collins – Interview

Whilst strolling through the enchanted forests of some unnamed land, I was fortunate enough to stumble across a wild fantasy author who agreed to sit down and talk with us for a while. Courtney Collins is the co-author behind the upcoming epic fantasy Vows & Valor series. Writing with her husband, Clarke Collins, they have…

Are Jigsaws the key to healing your trauma? Doctor Cat is here to find out – Review

Did anyone ever sit down to do a jigsaw puzzle and think “Boy I could do with some trauma while I try and do this”? If so, then the Doctor Cat has you covered! Doctor Cat is a jigsaw game at its heart but framed as, you are the titular Doctor, a psychologist, and the jigsaws are images of the patient’s trauma, while the…

Adaptations in all but name

With the breakout success of Helldivers II, I revisited the movie Starship Troopers. Aside from the main premise, shooting bugs on alien worlds, the two properties share quite a few more similarities, parodying the war economy satirising propaganda and “managed democracy” so much so that aside from the name Helldivers II is a perfect game adaptation of the movie…

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Review

It’s hard to be the second in a trilogy. You don’t have the same benefit of the world-building and exciting introduction of the first, nor the satisfying wrap-up and climax of the third. Add onto all of this being a reimagining of one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved games of all time, and…

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

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 enjoy. The Acolyte has its flaws, but perhaps surprisingly they’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, […]

Launder Your Way To Success in Arcade Paradise VR – Review

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 own arcade keeping the place tidy, buying new machines, setting the cost per play and bonus you get to play the games in your spare time! There are challenges on each of the 37 games available that once completed boost the cabinets’ popularity. So being […]

Are you ready for Rogue Flight? – Review

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 countless other titles including Bayonetta and Kingdom Hearts? Please don’t tune-out at my Gummi Ship allusion, Rogue Flight is different! Primarily, Rogue Flight is a 3D third-person space shooter with your view set behind your overpowered starfighter as waves of enemies and giant bosses fly […]

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 don’t think anyone buying this will be looking for deep simulations! These are meant to be light-hearted, arcade-style fun, best experienced with friends. Golf is basic, as I say. You can switch between an overhead view to gauge distance and a behind-character angle to take the shot, which is taken by pressing “A” to start a power bar, “A” to stop it, and […]

Do you want all the cosy collectables in an infusion of magic and wonder? If so, look no further than Infinity Nikki, the open-world RPG from Papergames and InFold Pte. Ltd. If you’ve been around the Internet for a while, you may already be familiar with the bubblegum-pink-haired protagonist of this adorable series. This is the fifth instalment and a sequel to Shining Nikki which was released for mobile and closed in 2020. The series features Nikki and her […]

Explore the Unknown in Two Point Museum – Review

Explore the Unknown in Two Point Museum – Review

In the decades since the creation of the management-sim genre, there have been many attempts to redesign and rejuvenate the formulae. However, few have been able to reach the heights of popularity as seen in Two Point Hospital. With the success of Two Point Campus now under their belt, will Two Point Museum bring anything new to the table? Or will it just be another Hospital wannabe? As a budding new Director, you have been given charge of your very own museum. Or should I say, museums as, unlike previous entries, you will have to jump back and forth between […]
