Rock Bouncer and Engine Staller I had been searching for a new off-road racing game for a while, and when I discovered Overpass 2, it appeared to be the perfect fit.

Gameplay In Overpass 2, players drive 33 vehicles across 3 categories: UTV, ATV, and Rock Bouncer. Rock Bouncers are a standout addition with reinforced frames and powerful engines for overcoming obstacles. However, driving requires finding the best path on rugged terrain,...

Cocoon – PS5 Review

Cocoon is a debut title for developer Geometric Interactive based in Copenhagen. Published by Annapurna Interactive the masters behind Stray and What Remains of Edith Finch.  Out now on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch Consoles, and PC. Stunning World Hopping Puzzle When I first learned about Cocoon, I was captivated not only by its beautiful art style but its ability to seamlessly transition between worlds. The strange mechanical insects and the puzzles all had my interest piqued. A title with no HUD or in-game voice or text just how good could it be?? Gameplay Cocoon is a cool puzzle-adventure game where you play as a beetle exploring a bunch of different worlds. You'll go everywhere from mechanical caverns to swamplands, all while solving puzzles that let you jump between worlds. The g...

Stray Gods – PS5 Review

Stray Gods is developed by Summerfall Studios, based in Melbourne, Australia. A multi-format title is available for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation.

However, upon watching it, my perspective shifted completely and I found myself wanting it eagerly. Gameplay Step into an e­nchanting urban fantasy realm where music and adve­nture intertwine at every corner. Boundaries be­tween reality and the supernatural world seamlessly me­rge, creating a mysterious and tre­acherous domain. You assume the role­ of Grace, who has recently inhe­rited the gift of song from the L...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – PS5 Review

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest title from the minds of Sumo Digital and Gun Interactive. The game is now available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as on PC. It follows on from Gun Interactives and Illfronic's hit Friday the 13th. May The Odds Be NOT in your favour I must admit that I was a huge fan of Friday The 13th Game. Every night, you could find me either lurking around Camp Crystal Lake to hunt down unsuspecting victims or trying to find petrol as a camp counsellor to make my escape. So when The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was announced I was hyped to get that feeling back, with another beloved franchise. Gameplay When playing this survival horror game with an asymmetric setup, as the Victim, your starting point is the basement where you'll find yourself trap...

The Expanse is the first title since the rebirth of Telltale Games. They are continuing with the format of an episodic adventure that has worked well for them in the past. To The Brig or The Airlock Based on James S.A. Corey’s popular book series and TV show, The Expanse. Players can now explore this extraordinary world like never before, taking on the perspective of Camina Drummer. When it was announced that The Expanse was being made into a Telltale series it piqued my interest and went into my book of games to keep an eye on. Gameplay Just a heads up, the game's storyline takes place before the TV series, so it's unnecessary to watch the show to enjoy the game fully. It is up to you to make the story choices, your actions as Drummer will shape the world around you. Episode On...
