Bus Simulator 27 – PS5 Review

It seems like every job going has had a simulator game or two dedicated to it. Although, I'd wager the humble driver has featured in the most. Bus Simulator 27 narrows down that broad range and puts you behind the wheel of a bus. Who'd have guessed? For this iteration, development was handled by Simteract, not stillalive studios who worked on the previous titles. Despite Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop receiving mostly positive reviews, will this change of team work out for the best? Or is this a bus we'd rather have missed? Bus Simulator 27 is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Build a Mighty Fleet of Buses in Bus Simulator 27! With just having finished a review for Train Sim World 7, and currently playing House Flipper Remastered Collection, a lot of ...

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 Review

Marvel's Wolverine is an Action, Adventure game from Insomniac Games. Following the success of the Marvel's Spider-Man series, Insomniac Games took the mantle to work on another character. We're playing as James Logan Howelett, aka the Wolverine. If you're coming into this series blind and don't know the characters, oh are you in for a treat. I will prefer now that this game is not referencing any comics or any other media. The only things you'll find here are their names, and powers that are the cannon part of some of the mutants lore. Now sharpen your claws and bear your fangs, because we're slicing through this review. You would always hear about Honey badgers not giving a flip. But have you met this Wolverine!?! HE DRANK ALL MY WHISKEY!!!! Gameplay Marvel's Wolverine starts us ...

NHL 27 Deluxe Edition – PS5 Review

From developers EA Vancouver, NHL 27 is the newest addition to this well-established series. Whilst I am the type of player who enjoys sports games, growing up in England means that I am not exposed to the likes of American Football and Hockey. However, because I am just a simple girl, TV shows such as Heated Riverly and Off Campus have introduced me to the world of hockey. Therefore, when NHL 27 was released, I wanted to experience playing hockey myself (within reason). Skating on thin ice Having been released on 11/09/2026, NHL 27 is available to buy now on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Whilst I was extremely lucky to be given the Deluxe Edition (which comes in at a whopping £99.99), the Standard Edition is currently available for £69.99. As stated above, NHL 27 is my first hockey ...

Earth Must Die – PS5 Review

After releasing for PC early this year, developer Size Five Games' newest title, Earth Must Die, is now available for consoles! As a fan of the developer's previous works, such as Ben There, Dan That! and Lair of the Clockwork God, I was quite looking forward to this one! Touted as a "British Comedy Adventure Game", will Earth Must Die both amuse me and satisfy that puzzle-solving itch? Earth Must Die is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Earth Must Die? Harsh, But Understandable... Some of my favourite games of all time are Point and Click titles. Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango — I've done my fair share of pointing and clicking! Although the genre became somewhat forgotten after the 90s, there have still been some incredibly fun adven...

Hazard Pay – PS5 Review

I’ve always had a soft spot for a good puzzle game. So, when the opportunity came to get my hands on Hazard Pay, I was more than happy to take on the challenge. Hazard Pay is a solo-developed project from Smitner Studio, published by Numbskull Games. It released on the 10th September for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Steam. It costs £11.99, with a 20% launch discount. In this pixel-art puzzler, you play as an IPT clean-up worker. You must mop up secret biohazard incidents under orders from a mysterious voice on the radio. So, does Hazard Pay wipe the floor with the competition? Or should you leave this one in the hazardous materials bin? A Mop-topian Adventure Set in an alternative 1982, Hazard Pay gives us a simple premise. Clean up the mess, erase the evidence and leave nothin...

The Blood of Dawnwalker – PS5 Review

It's hard to remember the last time a developer's debut videogame has had this much hype. But Rebel Wolves' The Blood of Dawnwalker has had a lot of industry veterans working on it. So, it should live up to the hype, right? Well, we've seen many a game fail to do so over the years. Will The Blood of Dawnwalker be any different? The Blood of Dawnwalker is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Blood of Dawnwalker Made Me Afraid of Vampires Again I won't be getting into any spoilers in this review, as The Blood of Dawnwalker is a narrative-heavy title. An incredibly dark one at that! You play as Coen, a young man that lives in a village ruled by vampires. Said vampires (known as Vrakhiri in game) are led by the ruthless, unjust Brencis. Each month, ...

Duskfade – PS5 Review

Jump, swing, and slash your way through a throwback 3D platformer in Duskfade! Coming to us from developer Weird Beluga, Duskfade harkens back to classic action platformers from the sixth-generation of consoles. Available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, is Duskfade a fun evolution of games gone by? Or is it just another title stuck in the past? Duskfade: A Stunning Homage to PS2 Classics Duskfade opens with a seemingly light-hearted narrative.

The Sinking City 2 – PS5 Review

I'm a big horror movie fan, although I have to admit I'm not the best when it comes to playing horror games. One jumpscare is enough to send the controller flying across the room and get my heart racing. Thankfully, The Sinking City (or more specifically, the PS5 remaster I played) wasn't full of cheap scares. Instead, it focused more on investigation, with combat taking more of a back seat. Now, with The Sinking City 2 developer Frogwares has flipped these two mechanics around, with this sequel being much more like a traditional survival horror. Considering their history with detective titles, would this gambit pay off? Would my heart be able to cope with all the Lovecraftian monsters out for my blood? Let's dive in and find out! The Sinking City 2 is out now, and is available on Pl...

Nightmare Shift – PS5 Review

Another low-budget horror coming straight off the bus is Nightmare Shift. This game is developed by Binary Lunar, and has us playing as a new employee at a Motel. What is the worst that can happen? The game is available on Steam, but I'm checking out the PS5 version. I check out a lot for different horror games to see if they are worth your hard-earned money so why not check out some of my other reviews here. Hope you enjoy your stay. Gameplay We play Nightmare Shift through the eyes of Emma, who has just gotten a new night shift job at a motel. Players get the quick rundown of how the motel works by one of the reoccurring characters Anderson. All the scenes are scripted when it comes to clearing rooms ready for the guests, so sadly you don't get any real control. After everything is ...
