The Persistence Enhanced Review

The Persistence Enhanced a stealthy first-person shooter where you need to harvest the stem cells from your opponent's spine. Yes! you read that right, stem cells are the main requirement for progression within the game. Have you got the spine to survive this nightmare? Thank the team at Firesprite for sending the code for Persistence for an honest review of their title. I jumped at the chance to be thrown into space aboard a stranded ship with no engine, all while currently orbiting a black hole!! Playing the role of Security officer Zimri Elder, things are already stacked against you. In addition to this, you are dead along with the rest of The Persistence crew. Gameplay In a setting that reminded me of the 1997 film 'Event Horizon' the ship's cloning machines have gone into o...

Farm For Your Life Review

Hammer Labs and Secret Item Games have brought their title Farm For Your Life to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The team at Secret Item Games were kind enough to send me a code to play on the PlayStation 5. Farm For Your Life combines a lot of different aspects, farming, the zombies, and cooking. Old McDonald Can Keep This Farm Let us get this out of the way, I am not a huge fan of farming games. However, I chose to put all of that aside and see how the game juggled different elements. I do however like zombies which is good because this is a farming simulator with a difference. The winds blow in and decimate your village unleashing an apocalypse of the undead and the few survivors that remain. Gameplay You are welcomed with a character creation where you can customise y...

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Review

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a third-person platform shooter developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is important to point out that, Rift Apart is not a sequel to the 2016 Ratchet & Clank title on PS4, which was more based around the movie. It is in fact a sequel to the 2013 PS3 title Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus. Insomniac Games have taken Ratchet & Clank to another dimension Rift Apart has arrived and has smashed its way through all dimensions to land on the Playstation 5. I am a huge fan of the Ratchet & Clank series so jumped at the chance to write a review for the latest installment. Unless you've been out battling Sandsharks or Robomuts by now you must have seen at least one screenshot of Rift Apart. So you may...
