6 / 10.0 - MudRunner VR
Jul 2, 2024

It's an OK experience that won't change the world. Seasoned MudRunners or SnowRunners may get a kick out of this for a few hours, but overall I found it to be pretty mundane beyond the realistic driving elements.

7.5 / 10.0 - HappyFunland
Jun 18, 2024

With a running time of barely 3 hours, HFL is short but sweet, and with a little replayability by way of hidden collectibles, there is a little more you can eke out of it here and there.

8 / 10.0 - V Rising
Jun 12, 2024

V Rising is as triumphant on PlayStation 5 as it is on PC. However, the only major downer on PS5 is needing to pay to play online, but that's now a standard difference between PC and console gaming.

8.2 / 10.0 - V Rising
May 26, 2024

V Rising is a tough game, but a damned good one. The learning curve is steep and while there are already guides out there for enhancing your playthroughs, the game offers so much variety and so many ways to accomplish things that even if you suck at it, you crave for more!

If you're into this style of game, the studio behind it or manga/anime culture and are looking for a jaunt this sequel to 2064 may well be for you!

Endless Ocean Luminous could be far better in a lot of ways, but as it stands it's good enough to have eked out a decent chunk of my time collecting hundreds of fish and hunting down the elusive mythical beasts!

It's a faithful port of the arcade game which adds two extra stages, but it is massively underwhelming for anyone hoping for something fun to play.

I cannot express any more admiration for this title. It set out to provide comedic adventure action that draws inspiration from the games that the developers loved growing up. This title succeeds on every level in providing a well rounded and stellar experience that just keeps on giving.

Mario vs Donkey Kong is a fantastic game even today, and anyone who has never played this sort of escape room hijinx before should definitely take a look, because it's devilishly addictive!

Gameplay and translation issues aside, there is a great idea here that is well presented overall, if a little confusing in its execution. Even if it's difficult to enjoy as a detective experience, the core elements that make up Chronique des Silencieux have merit and could easily be improved in patches, updates and possibly sequels.

Aspyr really pulled through in making a superb package for new explorers and old adventurers to dig into, but I still have no clue why there is no platinum trophies on the PS5 edition?!

A nice little bunch of games with some admirable QOL features that make it easier for this generation of gamers to appreciate the good old days. Despite the omission of any gallery, music, extras etc its still fantastic to see pioneering franchises available to all in 2024.

8.5 / 10.0 - Go Mecha Ball
Jan 31, 2024

I really enjoy Go Mecha Ball. Its beautiful visuals, playful design and stellar playability make for an undeniably powerful combination. Game Pass users should be on this day one, and PC gamers should be buying this up ASAP to enjoy it while its hot!

6.3 / 10.0 - War Hospital
Jan 21, 2024

War Hospital is not for everyone, but it does offer an intriguing insight into 1918's war support operations. The game's bleak and unforgiving nature is compounded by a huge plethora of systems and databases that become monotonous and cyclic.

5.2 / 10.0 - Shuyan Saga
Dec 14, 2023

I would have loved to score this game far higher, but the delicate balance of storytelling and gameplay is just not there. The storytelling and artwork are what massively carry the points I've scored for this title because in my opinion far more effort needed to be put into making compellingly fleshed-out beat-em-up sections as this game should have been absolutely incredible.

I'm quite disappointed by Gangs of Sherwood, as despite looking and sounding great on paper, the presentation is low-end, the voice acting is alarming, and the environments are rudimentary.

8.2 / 10.0 - Robocop: Rogue City
Nov 2, 2023

I really like this game, but it could be so much better with a little more polish. I have no doubt that RoboCop fans will have an absolute blast with this game, and Teyon has really excelled in bringing fresh but fitting content to Old Detroit for us to stomp and blast through.

9 / 10.0 - Trepang2
Oct 8, 2023

It's stealthy, it's gruesome, it's tactical and it's gung-ho all in one fell swoop! Trepang² has the aesthetics of Crysis, the mechanics of 00s shooters and the gory story of B-movie horror-style games with all the blood-soaked trimmings. It feels retro in its action and it has a definite "FPS-version-of-House-Of-The-Dead" vibe to it with its bosses and progressively damaged and bullet-riddled scenery.

7.7 / 10.0 - Train Sim World 4
Oct 1, 2023

A definite bump to TSW3: TSW4 brings more trains, more routes, and more freedom to craft your own fun within the sandbox available. Dovetail is continually improving and refining the formula for avid train lovers.

8.7 / 10.0 - Ugly
Sep 21, 2023

I have to say I'm deeply impressed with Ugly. From the lateral thinking to the graphical presentation, the clever mirror mechanics to the scale of the levels, the little bursts of humour and the intense storytelling: it's an absolute humdinger of a game for people who get a kick out of brain-melting platforming challenges!
