The Sheep Detectives (Movie) – Review

Based on the award-winning 2005 novel, Three Bags Full, by German author Leonie Swann, The Sheep Detectives is a murder-mystery comedy film directed by Kyle Balda and written by Craig Mazin. While the novel is more suitable for older readers due to its themes of crime, death, and murder, the

Invincible VS (Xbox Series X) – Review

The Invincible comic series by Image Comics was created and written by Robert Kirkman in 2003, running for 144 issues before concluding in 2018. It was a unique take on the superhero genre, and although it found niche success, it was still critically acclaimed by avid comic readers and even some of

Gecko Gods (Steam) – Review

Sometimes, you just need a relaxing puzzle game in your life. I didn’t think I did, but I absolutely did. Something with such a calm experience that lets the trash of the day waste away from your mind and perhaps your soul. Little indie game ‘Gecko Gods’, developed by Inresin,

Mortal Kombat II (Movie) – Review

Simon McQuoid returns with Mortal Kombat II, a louder, bloodier, and far more confident sequel that finally leans into the franchise’s ridiculousness without losing sight of its brutal spectacle. Once more, the surviving cast of 2021’s Mortal Kombat step up to defend Earthrealm against a new enemy. With a flurry

ASKA (Steam) – Review

ASKA is the Viking survival game you never knew you craved. No longer will I wonder what managing unruly Vikings is like—now it’s my full-time occupation! This gem, brought to us by the development team at Sand Sailor Studio and Thunderful Publishing, has kept me on the grind for hours.

SAROS (Playstation 5) – Review

Housemarque has built a reputation around fast-paced action and stylish chaos, and after spending time with SAROS, it feels like the studio is refining everything it does best. Set on the mysterious planet of Carcosa beneath an ominous eclipse, the game places players in the role of Arjun Devraj, played

The Shore (PlayStation 5) – Review

I’ve always loved the ocean. Not for summer beach trips, but for dark, stormy days where the waves swell fiercely. Scenes like these make my mind wander, pondering what lurks beneath the whitecaps. In reality, it’s just marine life and pollution. But, in The Shore, developed by Ares Dragonis and published by Dragonis Games, Eldritch horrors await.

Kiln (Xbox Series X) – Review

Kiln’ is one of those games you find yourself thinking, ‘What were developers, Double Fine Productions, smoking when they came up with this concept?’ It’s not every day you play an online, multiplayer, base-destroying brawler, but as a ceramic pot. The story is a pretty simple premise. Celadon, a god-like

Ground Zero (Steam) – Review

Ground Zero doesn’t hide what it wants to be. From the moment you step into the fog-covered ruins of Busan, it wears its inspirations proudly: a deliberate throwback to classic survival horror, where tension builds slowly, and every bullet feels like a decision between life and virtual death.  As an advocate for

MotoGP 26 (Xbox Series X) – Review

MotoGP2026 is the latest offering from developer Milestone S.r.l , being described on their game page as having “a renewed physics built around a new rider-based handling system, a more complete career mode, dynamic riders rating and much more”.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire (Xbox Series X) – Review

In the past, I never really gave the indie scene the attention it truly deserved. It’s easy to get caught up in big-budget releases and familiar franchises, but spending more time with smaller titles has made one thing clear: some of the most creative and memorable experiences are happening outside

Hacked: The Streamer (Steam) – Review

Hacked: The Streamer is a choose-your-own-adventure game from developer Button Interactive and NAISU. The game is described on their site as “You are blackmailed in Hacked: The Streamer.

Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred (PC) – Review

I had extremely high expectations coming into this DLC from the developers, Blizzard Entertainment. I reviewed the original base game Diablo IV on release back in May 2023, and the first DLC, Diablo IV: Vessel Of Hatred’ at the end of 2024. Being incredibly pregnant at the moment, I felt

Last Flag (Steam) – Review

Last Flag is a fun take on the old children’s game, Capture the Flag. Add a dash of 2026 gaming, and you have a strategic character progression shooter coming to take all your attention. Mac and Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons), the co-founders of Night Street Games, have given us an

Pragmata (Playstation 5) – Review

In a world of sequels and remakes, it’s hard for new, original ideas to break through into the zeitgeist. Capcom is different, though. After the past few years of reminding the industry of their storied legacy, they’ve now arrived with something fresh and incredibly unique sci-fi game, ‘Pragmata’. We play

2nd EVE (Steam) – Review

Whenever a game describes itself as a Souls-like, a little part of me screams with joy. It’s by far my favourite sub-genre within gaming, but how does 2nd Eve, developed and published by Gamer Cloud, handle these expectations? You play as Sister Superior Zola, a nun who is tasked with

Blood Reaver (Steam) – Review
