Brok the InvestiGator – PS5 Review

I've been following the development of Brok the Investigator for quite some time and was delighted when it got announced for consoles. Developed by French solo indie developer CowCat Games, the game was initially released on PC in August 2022. Brok The InvestiGator - Punch & Click! Fabrice Breton (who is CowCat) completed the majority of the work himself including game design, programming, writing and artwork. Played here on PS5 the game is also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and Linux. Gameplay Brok the InvestiGator is a mix of a point and click adventure and a beat'em up. Hence the "Punch & Click" moniker given to it by its creator. Set in a light cyberpunk world where animals have replaced humans, privileged citizens live under a pro...

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...

2D pixel art platform games are where it all started for me. Mario on the NES /SNES/Gameboy, Sonic on the MegaDrive - timeless classics that I still return to and that countless game developers have been inspired by. Go! Go!

Hitman Freelancer – PS5 Review

The 2019 NoClip documentary "The Fall & Rise of Hitman" put the revamped Hitman series on my radar. In that documentary IO Interactive CEO Hakan B.

Ten Dates – PS5 Review

FMV style console game hits are few and far between these days. When I played the excellent thriller Erica on PS4 back in 2019 I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality interactive story telling. Ten Dates is a romantic comedy interactive game from award winning indie studio Wales Interactive. The team have established themselves as one of the champions for the revival of the FMV genre with their aim to further blur the lines between film and games as they evolve the medium. Ten Dates to find love Played here on PS5 the game is also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Epic Games, Mac, iOS and Android.

Deliver Us Mars – PS5 Review

Deliver Us Mars is the follow-up to the excellent 2018 hit Deliver Us The Moon. KeokeN Interactive are a dutch developer and both titles run using the impressive Unreal Engine 4. Deliver Us Mars is out now on PC via Steam and Epic Game Store. Consoles will also see a release of the title and that is what we are checking out today. Boldly Go Where No-one Has Gone Before I really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon, so when this was announced it went straight on my Playstation Wishlist. The thought of being an astronaut was just too much to pass up. Gameplay In spite of the fact that Deliver Us Mars takes place 10 years after the events on the moon, the game isn't a direct sequel. Due to this, gamers can experience it as a standalone title. Personally, I strongly recommend playing the origin...
