Blasphemous 2: The Third Sin DLC – PS5 Review

Blasphemous 2 is an action, metroidvania, roguelite from Sevilla-based game developers The Game Kitchen and published by Team17. Its second DLC, The Third Sin, was released on June 6th, and it is completely free. Blasphemy, Sin, and Penance The Penitent One returns to extinguish the sins of the Miracle and bring back peace and balance to mortals once again. In this beautifully grotesque and bloody re-imagination of Spanish catholic themes, the protagonist of this not-so-little expansion sets out to stop Asterion, First of the Penitents, in his fanatic pursuit to fulfill the Miracle's apocalyptic wishes. Get ready to slice, dice, squash, maim, stab, behead, disembowel, mutilate, and otherwise cut your enemies into tiny little pieces Spanish Inquisition style! Gameplay Yes, The T...

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 ...

Solarpunk – PS5 Review

Developed by Cyberwave, Solarpunk is a futuristic survival title set in a technologically advanced world. Despite the survival theme, the game looks incredibly cosy! But is it engaging to play? Solarpunk is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Is Solarpunk the Next Great Cosy Game? Or is it a Solarflunk? You start by creating your character, although options are limited. This isn't too much of an issue, as Solarpunk is first-person (apart from the zoomed-out third-person option in the airship). There is co-op play, though, which ends up with everyone looking virtually identical. From there, you have the option of two game modes: standard or soft. They are essentially the same, except that in soft (does that sound insulting to anyone else?), you keep your inv...

Incantation – PS5 Review

Incantation the game is tied to the 2022 Taiwanese film of the same name and is developed by the team at SOFTSTAR ETERTAINMENT. Although from looking it up, it does say it is more of a prequel. It isn't often we see many tie-in games any more, so I'm interested to see what Incantation has to offer. If you enjoyed the film let us know below, and for anyone looking to pick it up on PlayStation, you can grab it here. Don't forget to chant. Gameplay Assuming the role of a mother who's been searching for her lost child for 6 years, she finally gets a lead. This takes us to Chen Village, but not before being taken off the road in a car crash. Incantation is, at its core, a walking sim, with the player having the occasional puzzle to solve to open up a chest. Beyond that, there will be brief...
