Postal 4: No Regerts – PS5 Review

From the Developers at Running with Scissors that brought amazing titles such as Postal, Postal 2, and so on comes the latest in this epic franchise: Postal 4: No Regerts. With all the crude humour and hilarious one-liners that Postal fans know, remember, and expect from this series. Postal 4: No Regerts goes on to meet these expectations and somehow keeps the momentum going. There has always been controversy to this game franchise purely from the satirical and crass humour. For example, Postal 2 was banned in Germany and New Zealand for the sheer amount of violence and animal "abuse". Postal 4: No Regerts, yes that's how it's spelt Are you a long-time Postal fan? Have you been looking forward to Postal 4: No Regerts on consoles? let us know in the comments below! Gamep...

Destiny 2: Lightfall is an action shooter that takes place from a first-person perspective. Lightfall launched on 28th February on Xbox. PlayStation and PC. With Cross-Save it is possible to access your character in any format (although you will need the expansion for each format) Eyes Up Guardian A week has gone by since the launch of Lightfall.

Gamedec – PS5 Review

Gamedec is a cyberpunk-esque point-and-click game developed by Ansher Publishing that was previously released on Switch and PC before making the switch over to PlayStation. Dying to become a detective? Gamedec is certainly a unique game, that I think you would struggle to find any game that is of similar playability. I haven't seen a game like this before, and when I heard that it was coming to PS5, I knew I needed to try it out, especially considering my day job is somewhat similar. Gameplay Set in the 22nd century in dystopian Warsaw City, virtual reality has taken over, becoming a way of life. Both the rich and the poor use it to escape the reality of life itself, however, there are always consequences when it comes to living a life that is not your own. This is where you, Gamed...

Scars Above – PS5 Review

From the Developer's Mad Head Games, Scars Above is a fairly challenging sci-ﬁ third-person action-adventure shooter with an interesting story and very mysterious lore. Mad Head Games also brought us games such as the Nevertales franchise and Rite of Passage. I haven't seen many of the titles they have made before, but it seems to me that they are more of a mobile games developer and this seems to be their first major console-related title. Scars Above, monsters, and science below The game caught my attention because of what it had on offer. It had survival elements, stranded on a planet and a mysterious alien race. What more could you ask for? Did you know about Scars Above before reading this? Are you excited to get stuck in and play it? Let us know in the comments! Gameplay Scars Ab...
