8 / 10.0 - Cyber Hook
Jun 28, 2021

It's only when things slow down in Cyber Hook that things feel clunky and awkward. The rest of the time this is a senses-heightening adrenaline shot to right to the eyeball.

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 goes for a family-friendly approach that works, but can't compete with the fun of the Mario & Sonic titles.

7 / 10.0 - Very Very Valet
Jun 17, 2021

Very Very Valet is a decent, decent effort from Toyful – a quirky premise executed in an eye catching and genuinely funny way, with the positives nearly always outweighing the negatives.

There are simply far better options available than Will Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town, and as such this cannot be recommended as anything near to the best the console offers.

5.5 / 10.0 - Turrican Flashback
Jan 25, 2021

A compilation of some good and some average games, but given the historic nature of them all, it'd have been nice to see a bit more effort put into this package.
