The Relic: First Guardian – PS5 Review

The Relic: First Guardian is a new action, RPG coming to both PC and PlayStation 5. Right now, I am checking out the PS5 version, and honestly I don't know what to expect. The game will be available for £44.99 on PS5 just in case you wanna pick it up. I think this game will test you, mentally. Gameplay The Relic: First Guardian starts rather quickly with any real build up. Our character is awakened by what seems like a priestess, who advise us to meet her at a camp later. Along the travels the game does put an odd amount of notes for you to read, and I mean a lot. Initially you would expect a little more into the world of The Relic, but no a fair amount just seem nonsensical. Weapons-wise we begin with a sword and shield but can find more when reaching the more open-wold area. In my t...

Lets head into the game. A Long Time Ago... Released across all platforms, Star Wars fans are going to absolutely love this DLC pack.

Viking Frontiers – PS5 Review

Grab your axe and bow, and get ready to fight for survival! Developed by BLUM Entertainment, Viking Frontiers puts you in the role of a surviving member of a Viking clan cast out of their homeland. You'll need to hunt, build, and raid your way to the top, as you attempt to keep your clan alive. After its release on Steam last year, Viking Frontiers is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Despite the mixed reception received for the PC version, I was nonetheless excited to try this one out! Survival is Everything in Viking Frontiers... When it Works Viking Frontiers opens in the most generic way imaginable. A quick text crawl sets the scene: your father has had his Jarl rights stripped from him during a time of political unrest. With your clan chased out of their homelan...

Denshattack! – PS5 Review

Developer Undercoders has quite a collection of unique videogames under their belt. Denshattack! looks to be perhaps the most off-the-wall (or should that be off-the-rails?) game they've developed to date. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, is Denshattack! as fun as it looks? Or is it all style, no substance? Well, get ready for something crazy, as we kickflip our way into the review! Did You Know? Denshattack! Translates to Train Attack! It's obvious right from the get-go that Denshattack! is a wholly original concept. From games like Noby Noby Boy to Goat Simulator, I love me some weird! Got any favourite gaming oddities? Let us know in the comments below! Gameplay In its absolute simplest form, I'd describe Denshattack! as Tony Hawk's Pro ...

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round – PS5 Review

2019's DEAD OR ALIVE 6 received average review scores on its release. Whilst it was praised for the deep combat mechanics, it was criticised for a poor story mode and barebones multiplayer. Now, developer Team Ninja has released DEAD OR ALIVE 6: Last Round for current gen consoles. Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, what does this new and improved version have to offer? Well, prepare for a punch to the gut, because this game is far from being a knockout... DEAD OR ALIVE 6: Dead On Arrival I am, admittedly, kind of a casual fighting game fan. Although I do enjoy beating people up (virtually, of course), I tend to stick to the single-player content. Unfortunately for me, fighting games are often more focused on multiplayer. With that said, do you have any recommend...

Copa City – PS5 Review

As someone who usually focuses on the action on the pitch, I had never really considered just how much planning goes into hosting a major football match. Copa City offers a chance to step into that role and see what it takes to get a city ready. Released on the 16th June, Copa City is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for £32.99. However on PC players can pick it up for £26.95. Developed and published by newcomer Triple Espresso, the game puts a fresh spin on football. It shifts the focus away from the players and onto the people responsible for making match day happen. The question is, does Copa City earn its planning permission, or does the whole project collapse before kick-off? City Planning in Progress Football games usually have you scoring goals, lifting trophies,...

Tour de France 2026 – PS5 Review

The most recent addition to Cyanide Studio's established cycling simulation series is Tour de France 2026. Published by Nacon, it released on June 4, 2026, for £34.99 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Players can take on the route for the 113th edition of the cycling epic. The question is, does this year's instalment ride away in the yellow jersey or does it struggle to keep pace with the peloton? Equipping the Training Wheels I have never been much of a cycling fan. I do not dislike the sport, but it is not something I would normally sit down and watch by choice. At most, I might leave it on in the background during a lazy Sunday afternoon, occasionally looking up in disbelief at the endurance of riders who can tackle hundreds of kilometres when a few sharp turns and a modest ...
