Shenmue III – Review

Shenmue III is a Japanese game developed by Ys Net and Published by Deep Silver. It is the third installment of a continuous story, with this title released eighteen years after the second game. Thanks to its cult following who raised two million dollars in under seven hours, as well

Romancing SaGa 3 – Review

In today’s modern world, technology advances at such a rapid rate that it’s often hard to comprehend the extent that many developers will go through to develop new and exciting games. On one side, we are met with games that you would swear upon looking at them that ‘this looks

Disgaea 4 Complete+ – Review

Disgaea 4: Complete + is the updated and remastered version of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten. Created by Nippon Ichi Software, this game along with the previous games in this series is a tactical RPG, with a very mobile feel to it. The story of Disgaea 4 is a little

Need For Speed Heat – Review

I think it’s fair to say that the past couple of Need for Speed games haven’t really felt like they’ve lived up to the older games in the franchise. Personally, I loved the days of Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon, so when EA announced Heat, my eyes lit up and

The Outer Worlds – Review

Given how much I adore the Fallout franchise, it often comes as a surprise to people when they find out I never played Fallout: New Vegas. The main reason for this, is that I never really felt like anyone but Bethesda could pull off a game like that. Having said

Rising Hell – Review

Rising Hell is a fast paced, heavy metal vertical platformer developed by Tahoe Games and published by Another Indie and Toge Productions. Being in Early Access, this roguish game brings a lot of potential and fun. Starting off, Rising Hell being in Early Access by no means should be a

8

Duped – Review

Duped’, an indie game created by Reuben Moorhouse, that was released on steam back in 2017, and is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 years later, is a very intriguing puzzle game. Duped is the story of the life of a lonely square. It’s not just a plain cube

ReadySet Heroes – Review

I’m normally a big fan of dungeon crawlers. Making my way across the map, exploring every nook and cranny looking for that epic weapon, or that one armour piece that makes you resistant to all damage types. Leveling up a character and choosing my own destiny has a huge appeal

10

Zunius – Review

The team at COAF Research have helped bring life back to the retro age, by releasing their debut title, ‘Zunius’. Described as a ‘Psychedelic, Rogue-Like Bullet Hell’, you’ll be rocketing around various alien planets, shooting your foes down until your heart’s content! So fire up your blasters as we dive

8

Encased (Early Access) – Review

For those who are familiar with classic RPGs such as Fallout 1 & 2, you will definitely feel at home with ‘Encased’. It is all brought together with its unique story and setting that seems strangely familiar to Stalker games including many winks to the Fallout franchise. Starting off your

Heist – Review

Heist is a noir, cat burglar game that puts you in control of a smooth, trench coat wearing, gadget wielding thief that has no name and no intention to be seen. With stealth as their key weapon of choice along with a variety of gadgets at your disposal it is

Devil’s Hunt – Review

Bear with me because this going to be a stretch hybrid. Have you ever wondered what Devil May Cry mixed with Darksiders with a very Miami Vice-esq protagonist would be like? (told you it was a stretch) but if you answered “YES” or “Hmm, that sounds strange yet cool” then

Borderlands 3 – Review

There are so many looter – shooter games available these days that we are spoiled for choice. From Destiny to The Division and even Anthem, all of them offer a vast amount of loot to be found and a seemingly limitless amount of potential to build the character the way

9

Hunt: Showdown – Review

Clean underwear, that’s what you will need when playing Hunt: Showdown. I am pretty sure I soiled mine just in the tutorial! Hunt: Showdown reeks with elements of games such as Resident Evil, DayZ & even a bit of an old favorite of mine, Hexen. While the horror genre is

Gears 5 – Review

It’s finally here. Gears 5 by The Coalition is out now and available to the masses, and i’m going to come out and say it right off the bat, Gears 5 is definitely one of the best installments in the Gears of War franchise. Let’s start with the campaign. In

ONINAKI – Review

Published by Square Enix and developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, Oninaki is a hack and slash, action RPG where players take control of Kagachi, a young Watcher, who upholds the principles of reincarnation. People are forbidden to mourn the loss of their loved ones, as it is believed that grief

Whipseey And The Lost Atlas – Review

Blowfish studios, the independent, Australian video game publisher are back, not long either, after dropping a previous extremely fun title, ‘SubDivision Infinity DX’. I was given the pleasure of playing and reviewing that too which is available on their website, so I was definitely excited to get my hands on

Control – Review

It’s become common knowledge around the office that I really enjoy anything relating to the supernatural. I mean, you just have to look at what I use to wear in my old clubbing days to see that I’m a little strange like that. Fortunately for me, 505 Games has recently

RAD – Review

What is with the flood of 80’s inspired games as of late? I have literally reviewed like nine or ten in the last 6 months and it seems like the fad is not dying soon. It seems with the success of television shows in the likes of Stranger Things it

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden – Review

I have never been a strategy, turn based game player. They require patience, thought-out movement and finesse. All attributes, I definitely do not possess, believe me, ask my colleagues. I loathed my last experience with one and that is no exaggeration. I’ve avoided them since. Mutant Year Zero: Road to

Dragon Quest Builders 2 – Review

I never really understood the fad that was Minecraft. I mean, sure… digging stuff up, building things and wacking enemies with a wooden sword was kind of fun. While there are some incredible creations out there, there is really only so much you can do. Mine, build, kill and survive.

Subdivision Infinity DX – Review

This little gem I’ve been toiling away with recently is from Sydney based Publisher, Blowfish Studios. When I was offered this to review, I was expecting an indie style game but what I got was a little under 2Gb of pure fun! Space! The final frontier… Or is it? I
