South Of Midnight (Xbox Series X) – Review

The swamps in the Deep South are murky but awfully inviting. Compulsion Games, creators of ‘We Happy Few’ and ‘Contrast’, two games I dug into myself, have created such a magical world in their newest project, ‘South Of Midnight’, and it’s pretty decent. A tale set in the dreary bayou

A Working Man (Movie) – Review

Directed by David Ayer, A Working Man is an action thriller based on the novel, Levon’s Trade: A Vigilante Justice Thriller: 1 by famed comic book writer, Chuck Dixon. Ayer also co-wrote and did the screenplay with Sylvester Stallone, meaning audiences will be in for an adrenaline-fuelled ride where rules

Only Way is Down (Steam) – Review

Surprisingly, I’m not new to playing as a cat in a platformer, albeit my previous experience was more dystopian sci-fi. Only Way is Down by Jilted Generation Productions takes it to a more realistic place, with a small side of silliness that often falls flat. Starting firmly on the ground

Your House (Steam) – Review

Recently, Steam concluded its latest Steam Next Fest, and throughout, I got to experience numerous great indie game demos, including a couple of extraordinary point-and-click and visual novel adventures. But now that it’s over, I was left with an itch. That was fixed when I stumbled upon ‘Your House’, a

Mullet MadJack (Xbox Series X) – Review

Mullet MadJack has officially arrived on Xbox after only being available via Steam since May 2024. It brings with it a wave of 90’s anime nostalgia and adrenaline-fueled, first-person shooter action. Developed by HAMMER95 and published by Epopeia Games, this single-player FPS challenges players to conquer a cyberpunk dystopia with

Atomfall (Xbox Series X) – Review

Atomfall asks a simple question: What if the Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957 actually turned part of Britain into an irradiated wasteland? In this alternate version of England, Rebellion has traded in its third-person, stealth action games like Sniper Elite, for a first-person, survival action game akin to ‘Fallout’ or

Rise Of The Ronin (Steam) – Review

‘Rise of the Ronin’, a 2024 ARPG, by Team Ninja, is finally on PC and developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES. With a release on PC plagued with woeful dramas due to a rumored stuttering issue, I was concerned when tasked with tackling this otherwise highly acclaimed PS5 title. I remained

Split Fiction (Xbox Series X) – Review

In 2021, ‘It Takes Two’ was released to critical acclaim, winning numerous ‘Game of the Year’ awards and changing the co-op genre forever. So, you could probably forgive Josef Fares and his team at Hazelight Studios if they wanted to rest on their laurels for their next game. However, after

Blood Typers (Steam) – Review

Outer Brains Studios has thought out of the box with ‘Blood Typers’, a survival horror, retro-styled adventure game but with a twist. The only way to complete the game is to type, so you have to learn to type quickly. This game was lots of fun from start to finish,

Police Shootout (Xbox Series X) – Review

‘Police: Shootout’, developed by Games Incubator and Hypnotic Ants, is a turn-based, first-person shooter, a bizarre combination indeed. Here, you must step into the footsteps of a cop and make all the hard decisions, some harder than you may realise. The story has a decent premise. You play as our

GLUM (Steam) – Preview

Glum—what better word describes my feelings after playing ‘GLUM’? Maybe that was the intention of developer and publisher CinderCat Games, but after spending three hours playing the demo, as much as I wanted to have fun with GLUM, I never found it. Glum is a goblin minion whose overlord has

WARRIORS: Abyss (Xbox Series X) – Review

If you walked into a kitchen where publishers Koei Tecmo and developers Omega Force were preparing a meal primarily consisting of ‘Dynasty Warriors’ and ‘Samurai Warriors’ as the key ingredients, then sprinkled in some herbs and spices reminiscent of ‘Hades’ and ‘Vampire Survivors’, you would get ‘Warriors Abyss’.
