Quake II Review

Quake II is a great value package, well priced and showered with love and care. It may not go on playlist rotation, but it’ll be hard to turn down a game of Quake II when asked.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review

Maybe this is not a game of the year contender, but it’s probably a good starting point for the new direction and rejuvenation of Double Dragon.

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales Review

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales may not top many game of the year lists, but it is a unique experience that is fun to play throughout its short runtime.

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch Review 

F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch is not the best Metroidvania out there, but in a sea full of them, this would definitely be swimming close to the top. That is all thanks to its fantastic combat, upgrade system and setting.

Ghostwire: Tokyo Review

Ghostwire: Tokyo can be a mixed bag. Occasionally brilliant, it follows that up with lacklustre sections and clunky mechanics.

Mayhem in Single Valley Review

Mayhem in Single Valley is one for fans of retro goodness.

Discovering the joys of Valheim on Xbox

I am just at the beginning of my Viking based Valheim adventure, and cannot wait to see what I discover next.

LEAP Review

One lesson that should have been learned before launch is in the title - Look Before You LEAP.

Delving into the visual delights of Strayed Lights

Strayed Lights is beautiful and mysterious...

Blood Bowl 3 Review

A title with so much potential, Blood Bowl 3 fumbles the ball in the final minute.

WILD HEARTS Review

WILD HEARTS is one for both fresh faces and hardened veterans, and should be seen as the first legitimate threat to Monster Hunter’s unopposed reign at the top.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Review

An easy game to recommend for fans of Ghostbusters that are looking for a chill ghostbusting experience, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is less likely to appeal to single players.

GoldenEye 007 Review

GoldenEye 007 is perfect.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Review

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is peak SpongeBob and a good time all round!

Evil West Review

There is not a dull moment to be found in Evil West.

Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising Review

A game that is going to be more enjoyable for Cobra Kai fans than unfamiliar players, the licence is used very well here, but it’s still not one that can be fully recommended to everyone. All that said, if you love some Karate Kid action, there is no better game than Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising.

Tanuki Sunset Review

Tanuki Sunset is a fun arcade jaunt that nails the aesthetic of the 1980s. However, it’s difficult to fully recommend, and that's due to some graphical issues and a short run time. 

Gungrave G.O.R.E. Review

A true disappointment is what we have here in Gungrave G.O.R.E.

Ghost Song Review

Ghost Song is a game worthy of your attention.

Embraced by Autumn Review

The intro promises some future dramatic, potentially even salacious turns, but not one of the four different stories delivers. It’s all too tentative. In the end, Embraced by Autumn could have done with just a little more confidence and sass.

Call of the Wild: The Angler Review

When all the aspects of Call of the Wild: The Angler come together, the resulting mix is actually a pleasant place to spend a few hours.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Film Review

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is definitely a better movie than the original non-Energon Transformers saga, but also a less exciting one.

Latest Reviews

Immortals of Aveum Review

Immortals of Aveum should be praised for its original concept, writing, and new world-building. It's a new franchise that is brave.

XEL Review

For the good - the visuals, audio, navigation of paths and occasional combat moments - there are tens of things in XEL that will hold you back.

The Isle Tide Hotel Review

If you're an FMV fan then you're going to enjoy a lot of what The Isle Tide Hotel has to offer. But just remember - don’t ever leave your room at night.
