Having previously completed an in-depth review of ‘Ready or Not’ on the Xbox Series X, I was eager to see how the PlayStation 5 version measures up. With the PC release widely regarded as the definitive way to experience the game, and the Xbox Series X offering impressive performance, the

Dear god, I love me some Survival games. What I want to love more are pirate games, but lately I’ve been let down by them. Not mentioning any names, but pirate games generally don’t live up to the likes of great television media such as ‘Black Sails’, ‘Pirates of the
I recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with ‘Killer Inn’, a new social deduction game developed by Tactic Studios and published by Square Enix. Even though this meant setting a few alarms and waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am, I was keen to get my first
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is what Leenzee Games and publisher 505 Games describe as a “hardcore action RPG/Souls-like. I was curious to see this fantasy version of late Ming Dynasty China.

It’s been more than a decade since I used to enjoy watching YouTubers freak out while playing ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’, a game that revolutionised the horror genre for many people, including myself. Then, in 2015, Frictional Games released their next game, ‘Soma’, one I sadly never got around
For years, Donkey Kong has lived in the shadow of his platforming peers, occasionally leaping into the spotlight but never quite holding it. That changes now. With Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo has created something bold, beautiful, and bananas in the best way possible. This isn’t just DK’s return to 3D,
There’s something that continuously draws us back to old/retro games. Is it nostalgia? Is it wanting to relive the memories? Did we love the storyline? Maybe the somewhat now dated graphics and the soundtrack kept our blood pumping as we eagerly awaited the next boss battle or the revealing of

When Death Stranding was released in 2019, it received a mixed reaction from the gaming industry and fans alike. Years later, some have come around on the game labelled as a “walking simulator” by harsh critics, while others remain unchanged. I was a firm believer from the very start. However,

‘Baby Steps’ is an upcoming game from ‘Getting Over It’ creator Bennett Foddy, developed in collaboration with Maxi Boch and Gabe Cuzzillo of ‘Ape Out’. At first glance, it looks like another entry in the emerging “Foddian” genre—games defined by deliberately awkward movement and frustratingly precise control, named after Foddy himself.

The ‘Yakuza’ series is one of SEGA’s premier franchises, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, which all began in 2005, on PlayStation 2. Now rebranded as ‘Like a Dragon’, which is also the English translation of its Japanese name Ryū ga Gotoku, the series has seen a slow but well-deserved
There’s always been something deeply fascinating to me about the Chornobyl setting—an entire city and its surrounding towns suddenly abandoned, frozen in time by the disaster.

‘Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma’, the latest entry in the beloved lifestyle sim series developed by Marvellous Inc. and published by XSEED Games, marks a bold new direction.
