Fallout 76: Wastelanders DLC Review – Take Me Home, Down Country Roads

It’s fair to say it's been a bumpy ride, with a lot of turbulence in the eighteen months or so since Fallout 76 was released by Bethesda. I’m not going to dive too deeply into the chequered history of the latest instalment of the Fallout franchise, suffice it to say that until now, it really hasn’t been a hit with the fan base. At launch and during the months beyond, the discernable lack of NPCs and any kind of real storyline in Fallout 76 was perhaps the biggest and most confusing oversight on the part of Bethesda. After all, questing, side-questing, engaging storytelling, snarky dialogue and you know, actual NPC's with some character is at the heart of the entire Fallout franchise. So it’s an actual joy to be able to visit Appalachia now and meet a range of NPCs in the form of the...

Streets of Rage 4 Review – Floor Chicken Is Back On The Menu

It's been a long 26 years for fans of the classic beat 'em up series, but finally, Streets of Rage is back! Constant rumours and rebooted projects have given plenty of hope for a fourth title, but it just never materialised. Now that's all changed. Published and developed by Dotemu (alongside Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games), Streets of Rage 4 hits PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam on April 30th. As some of my earliest gaming memories involved taking every chance to shun my Super Nintendo, sneak into my brother's room and take down Mr X as many times as possible, you better believe I jumped at the chance to dive back into the city. The all-time classic Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat ‘em up known for this timeless...
Separation, PSVR Review – Glorious solitude or tortured isolation?

Separation, PSVR Review – Glorious solitude or tortured isolation?

It seems very apt in these strange times to be reviewing a game about separation and isolation especially one that is somewhat different from the normal PSVR fare.  Solo developer Recluse Industries (Martin Wheeler) has released his first-ever PSVR game in the shape of Separation. It is essentially a very personal game and is born out of the death of the developer's father in 2010 and Wheeler's consequential episodes of depression. Wheeler has said that he wanted to create a space where he could explore the feelings of emptiness and loss. He intriguingly describes Separation as an "Ambient Adventure", and a spiritual journey into epic desolation with relaxed exploration with some puzzle elements and no time pressure. He is at pains to state that it is not your usual PSVR walking simulator ...
