7.5 / 10.0 - Hyper-5
Jun 27, 2023

Hyper-5 combines solid shoot ‘em up action with realistic visuals and the end result is a bit of a mixed bag. I like the look of it but those visuals also cause visibility issues for the player. While the gameplay is fun and upgrading your ship is satisfying, you’ll be playing the same few stages over and over to do so which can get a bit old.

Pretty Girls Tile Match is another solid entry in the long running line of games and should please anyone who has been following them thus far. It’s simple, fun tile matching with a lot of stages to run through and not much else.

Loop8: Summer of Gods has some good ideas going for it but needed a bit more work in some areas for me to be able to fully recommend it. I enjoyed the story but it takes time to get good and I had to endure a lot of repeated parts to get to it. On top of that the combat can be a bit confusing and doesn’t offer enough control over your team. There’s some good things here but just know you’ll have to deal with quite a few annoyances along the way if you decide to jump into this one.

7.5 / 10.0 - Nocturnal
Jun 20, 2023

Nocturnal is a gorgeous action platformer but one that won’t show you anything new when it comes to gameplay and story. I enjoyed the exploration, combat, and puzzle solving but none of it did anything to stand out from many other similar games I’ve played.

We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie remasters another entry in this series to good effect and should please prior fans and newcomers alike.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble is another solid entry in this long running series that delivers plenty of bubble popping fun. Being able to play the story mode with multiple players is cool and while there isn’t a ton of gameplay variety, there is still plenty to sink your teeth into.

I wasn’t too impressed with Cyber Citizen Shockman but I’m glad when obscure games get made available to a bigger audience. The movement and jumping just doesn’t feel good to play and because of that I had to resort to using the newly added cheats just to get through it. This can be a decent way to spend an hour or so jumping into the past but I don’t think anyone needs to rush out to play this.

7.5 / 10.0 - Strayed Lights
May 25, 2023

Strayed Lights offers up some solid combat encounters, a beautiful world, and an excellent score that makes it worth playing even if some other parts like the story and exploration aren’t as great. The game is very cinematic and nailing the parrying against basic enemies and bosses is satisfying. If you’re OK with getting through it in just a few hours then I’d give this one a solid recommendation.

Mia and the Dragon Princess has some downsides but still makes for an enjoyable interactive experience. The performances by most of the cast are great and it has far better action scenes than I expected. The writing can be cheesy at times but it also managed to get some laughs out of me. It also doesn’t overstay its welcome and has helpful features that make getting to the new stuff on replays much easier. It isn’t the best FMV game Wales has done but if you’ve been enjoying the genre I have no doubts you’ll enjoy this one too.

9 / 10.0 - Hunt The Night
May 18, 2023

Overall, Hunt the Night is a great looking action-RPG that will push your skills to the limit but one that is very rewarding when you pass its challenges. It has dark and beautiful world to explore, challenging combat against great enemy designs, and lots of lore and things to find.

7.5 / 10.0 - Nuclear Blaze
May 10, 2023

After spending a couple hours putting out fires in Nuclear Blaze, I can say I enjoyed my time with it even if it has some issues. It’s a short game and it doesn’t change up much in the gameplay as it goes but manages to be fun nonetheless.

8 / 10.0 - Murderous Muses
Apr 20, 2023

Murderous Muses changes things up by mixing gameplay with FMV sequences to create a pretty compelling murder mystery experience. Exploring the gallery and trying to piece together who the murderer could was fun and each playthrough being different makes it compelling to jump back in whether you solve the case your first time or not.

8 / 10.0 - The Last Worker
Apr 15, 2023

The Last Worker is a great trip into a dystopian world that has a great art style, well written story, and strong voice performances.

After spending several dozen hours in this world, I can say Atelier Ryza 3 is a fantastic send off for these characters. The world is more enjoyable to explore than ever, the alchemy systems are more refined and as deep as you want them to be, and the combat is satisfying even if it can be a bit daunting to learn at first.

8 / 10.0 - Ten Dates
Mar 24, 2023

Ten Dates is another enjoyable FMV game from Wales Interactive and one any fan of their previous titles or rom-coms in general will probably enjoy.

9 / 10.0 - Ib
Mar 24, 2023

Having not known anything about Ib going into it for this review, I finished and came away from it very impressed. If you’re a fan of horror and pixel art experiences then Ib will be right up your alley. The atmosphere is unnerving throughout and the puzzles never left me stumped for too long. Ib is a spooky delight and one I fully recommend if you enjoy such things.

DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is a delightful and fun super hero adventure that both older and younger players can enjoy. It has some witty writing, fun combat, and enjoyable exploration although all of this would’ve been better if you could play the campaign in co-op and had a bigger roster of playable characters.

I didn’t expect much going into Zombieland: Headshot Fever Reloaded but I came away from it finding that I had a lot more fun with it than I expected. The shooting feels great and the levels being so replayable made me want to keep jumping back in to try and set a better score.

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe is a welcome remaster of one Kirby’s better adventures and makes some smart additions to make the whole package more enjoyable. Letting everyone play as Kirby and use his copy abilities is fun and the addition of the new Magolor modes helps to bring some different gameplay to the mix.

9 / 10.0 - Demeo
Mar 17, 2023

Demeo is an excellent dungeon-crawling adventure that is fun playing by yourself but even more so with others in the community. You can play it without VR but it feels much more immersive inside the headset as you actually perform the actions.
