NBA 2K25 PS5 Review

Another year and it's time for the yearly updates to all your favourite sports-ball video games. This article is devoted to NBA 2K25 and all that is new with the game. It's been a couple of years since I've played one of 2K Games offerings, so this review might have some stuff that may not be as new to you as it is to me. But let's go on that journey together. It's Heating Up! NBA 2K25 and 2K Games have been the go-to basketball game for a number of years, but surely there is something for a newcomer as well? Let's see as we dive into some more details. Gameplay Look I'm not going to go into how you play, or even what the game is about. I think you are smart enough to know that this is a basketball game and what that entails. What I will do is give you a low down of what I found enjoya...

If you have never heard of Funko, then you must have been hiding under a rock. Funko are the brand responsible for bringing to life your favourite franchises, but in vinyl figure form. The lovable big heads on small bodies are great to have on the shelf, and more recently in your gaming library. Funko Fusion is the creation of 1010 Games which both developed and published the game. Everyone is a fan of something This review is purposefully vague, there is so much to find and discover during your playtime with Funko Fusion that it would be wrong of me to give away too much! Enjoy! Gameplay Aside from all the cool collaborations and fan favourites, you may be wondering what exactly Funko Fusion is about. It all boils down to the game’s villain. Eddy. Eddy is everything that Freddy Funko ...

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – PS5 Review

Thanks to the team at Purple Lamp, we see Disney’s Epic Mickey: Rebrushed returning on a new set of consoles and with a fresh coat of paint. Originally an exclusive for the Nintendo Wii, I missed my chance to play it first time round, so I’ll be going in blind for this one. The game launched on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Steam and PlayStation today, 23rd September. Epic tales are told in many art forms. I own Epic Mickey 2: Power of Two on PlayStation 3. But never dived into it due to not originally playing the previous entry. I do enjoy playing some of Disney’s more interesting properties when their characters are involved, aka when they add dark undertones to their games. Making them seem more mature. The best example I can think of is the Kingdom Heart franchise, with the themes of da...

Pneumata – PS5 Review

Back in April, I checked out a preview for Deadbolt Interactive’s new game Pneumata. If you want to know my initial thoughts of the game, click here. Today I'm looking at the full release of this new survival horror to see if it delivers. You can pick Pneumata when it releases this month on the 20th for the PS5. Disclaimer: some GIFs used in this review contain strobe effects and flashing images, please be careful. Why is it always the small towns that are the issue? Additionally, I would like to warn you that Pneumata contains heavy flashing images. Even though the game provides a warning, I do not recommend it for individuals with epilepsy or other conditions that can be affected. I don’t suffer with anything myself, and found the game too much. Gameplay The game begins with o...

Antstream Arcade has been around for a while but recently launched on the PlayStation 4 & 5. We were lucky enough to get sent not only a code to access the game early but also a 12-month subscription. So what does this retro arcade app offer? Keep reading to find out! RETROOOOOO!! So what exactly is Antstream Arcade? What does it offer? Both valid questions needing answers. Which is just what I'm here to do with this review.

Star Wars Outlaws – PS5 Review

After two recent successful releases where you play as a Jedi, Star Wars Outlaws is “The first open-world Star Wars Game;” where you play as a regular nonforce sensitive thief, Kay Vess. Star Wars Outlaws was developed by Massive Entertainment, and published by Ubisoft. The game was released on August 30th, 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. Star Cry Ubisoft has become synonymous with the open-world genre in recent years. Running around sprawling, yet often repetitive, maps, chasing question marks, and collecting dozens of meaningless trinkets just to tick another box off the checklist. For many players, including myself, the formula has grown a bit stale. So, when early previews for Star Wars Outlaws dropped, I was immediately intrigued by the promise of something fresh—a different k...
