Under The Island – PS5 Review

If you're a gamer of a certain vintage, chances are you have fond memories of the '90s and early 2000s. From Alundra to the 2D Zelda titles, there were plenty of brilliant action RPGs during that era. With Under The Island, developer Slime King Games attempts to capture the magic that made these classics so memorable. Blending elements of modern and retro (are we calling the '90s retro now? I feel old...) games, Under The Island may well be a great debut for the developer. Can the gameplay match what is arguably a gorgeous-looking love letter to games gone by? Under The Island is out now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. With that said, let's get on with the review! Above, Around, and Under The Island! With...

Docked – PS5 Review

Developer Saber Interactive know a thing or two about vehicle-based simulator games. From SnowRunner to last years RoadCraft, this team has made some genuinely engaging titles! Now, they're set to release Docked, which sees you taking control of your very own docking business.

Available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for £24.99, is this the next must-play simulator title from a well-established dev? Or should it be cast out to sea and left well alone?

Unfortunately for Tommy, a ship carrying some ha...

Resident Evil: Requiem – PS5 Review

He's better, bigger, stronger and prettier than ever. Leon Kennedy returns in Resident Evil: Requiem the latest addition in the class Capcom horror/action series. Currently available on the Playstation Store for £64.99, can Requiem live up to its predecessors? How the hell do you get back to Racoon City? Gameplay Resident Evil Requiem immediately goes against the established RE curve by allowing the player to choose their POV. In an attempt to combine the nostalgia of the over the shoulder shots with the first person horror that appeared in Biohazard, Capcom let you personalise your experience from the menu. It recommends playing Grace's story from 1st person whilst using the over-the-shoulder camera for Leon. You can swap and change these settings as you go through the game depending...

Tavern Manager Simulator – PS5 Review

Developer One More Time's debut title, Tavern Manager Simulator, has opened up shop on PlayStation 5! Originally released on Steam back in 2024, and in January 2026 for Xbox, this simulator is exactly what it says on the tin. Or... title, in this instance. Sitting at a "Very Positive" user review score on Steam, it seems like this could be a must-play for fans of the genre! So, for anyone that's ever dreamed of opening up a cosy little pub in the countryside, let's get right into the review! You Set 'em Up and I'll Knock 'em Back Tavern Manager Simulator opens with you taking control of a rundown tavern that is in dire need of renovation. Thus, it's up to you to restore this place to its former glory and bring in the patrons. It starts off slow, with the opening missions including...

Cash Cleaner Simulator – PS5 Review

Mind Control Games' debut title, Cash Cleaner Simulator, was an indie smash hit when it was released on Steam last year. With its current user rating of "Very Positive", this is one I've had my eye on as a console gamer for some time! And, wouldn't you know it, the game is out now for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! Simulator games usually give players the opportunity to try out relatively mundane jobs, albeit in an engaging way (sometimes). With Cash Cleaner Simulator, this job is anything but mundane! The premise is simple: launder dirty money! Who Knew Money Laundering Was So Satisfying? I do love a good sim title! From PowerWash Simulator to Electrician Simulator, and practically everything in between. I'm always on the lookout for something weird and wonderful, much like C...

Cairn – PS5 Review

What's this? Back-to-back reviews of games I did back-to-back previews of last year? That's continuity, folks. This time I'm playing Cairn, the latest game from The Game Bakers; a small French studio — just 17 full-time members working remotely around the world — responsible for Furi and Haven. It's clear these guys have some serious range. Speaking of, Cairn sees protagonist Aava tackling a mountain range, culminating in an attempt to climb the yet unconquered Kami. In order to summit this killer mountain, Aava will need grit, determination, and perseverance... as will I. Nothing Worth Doing Was Ever Easy As a realistic climbing/survival simulation, nothing I've ever played previously compares to Cairn. Yes, we have games with climbing and stamina mechanics such as A Short Hike and Jusa...

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Vision of Four Heroes – PS5 Review

I am excited to be playing Dynasty Warriors: Origins' new DLC, Visions of Four Heroes. Here is hoping for more epic battles, and maybe a more in-depth look into the four heroes we will see. I have already reviewed the base game, so why not check out my thoughts on that. The DLC is available on PlayStation 5 for £28.99. Oh boy, that seems a little steep. Gifs used in this article may contain flashing. A Tiger Among Dragons. Gameplay The Vision of Four Heroes gives us four mini what-if campaigns. That show the player what would have happened if Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhou, Yuan Shao, or Lu Bu, had not fallen in battle. You start the DLC via your room in the Inn. Zhang Jiao's is first, but once his story is told, you are able to choose the other three in whatever order you please. I opted f...

Nioh 3 – PS5 Review

Here I am checking out the latest release by Team Ninja, Nioh 3. So expect to be fending off infamous Yokai, all while aiding lords and being friends to spirits. I've been enjoying the Nioh games since the first, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the devs have cooked up this time. Maybe some influence from their other titles like, Rise of Ronin, or Wo Long, Who knows, but I am up for it. You are able to purchase the game on PlayStation for £64.99 or pick up the Digital Deluxe Edition for £94.99. Which nets you a few extra goodies, and season pass. Finally, if you don't want to drop that amount on a game you aren't even sure you will like, then why not check out Nioh 3's demo here. Gifs used may contain flashing images. Time Is A Funny Thing, Sometimes You Just Get Sent Back. Ga...
