Bright Memory: Infinite – PS5 Review

Bright Memory: Infinite is a sci-fi single-player FPS set in 2036 China where you investigate a singularity threatening the world. It was made by indie developer Zeng Xiancheng of FYQD Studio with their first major release and publisher Playism (DEEEER Simulator). Bright Memory was originally released in Steam early access in 2019 as an episodic game. After success on Steam, Xiancheng was inspired to re-release Bright Memory in full rather than in episodes. FYQD Studio has found success, both in Steam early access and being awarded the Unreal Dev Grant from Epic Games. I played the PS5 version of Bright Memory and it is also available now on Windows PC, Switch and Xbox series S&X. We wrote an article on the GameSpot Play For All 2021 gameplay trailer reveal which you read here. ...

Redout 2 – PS5 Review

Having cut my teeth in the early PS1 days on the utterly cool Wipeout, I've always had an affection for the futuristic "Anti Gravity" racing games. Redout 2 is the follow-up to the 2016 critical hit Redout. Developed by the small Turin-based team 34BigThings, this sequel aims to deliver more insanely exhilarating racing than its predecessor. Having not played the original game, I was excited to jump in and rediscover the Anti Gravity genre that I've not played since the fantastic Wipeout Omega Collection. Insane speeds taking you from Redout 2 Blackout Played here on PS5 the game clocks in at just 14.85GB install size. It's also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam/Epic Game Store. A Nintendo Switch release is also planned down the line. Let us know in th...

F1 22 – PS5 Review

Developed by Codemasters and published by EA, we bring you F1 22. Available on PC, Xbox and Playstation F1 22 is available now. A Lot Has Changed In The Past 20 Years! As you can probably guess by the above highlight, it really has been 20 years or more since I last picked up an F1 title. I haven't really avoided them but they have never been on top of my list to pick up. It could be worse, I could have said the last F1-style title I played was Exhaust Heat. I have no idea what is in store, but having started watching F1 again over the past couple of years I was excited to pick this title up. Gameplay I was slightly worried (along with being excited) about picking up F1 22 to review. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of F1, I just enjoy racing in general. I can't tell you who has ...

Barn Finders – PS4 Review

Barn Finders is the latest game from developer & publisher Duality Games (Unholy). It is a first-person Simulation video game set in Ameryka, a fictionalised version of the USA. Travelling all over, the aim is to strike gold in finding various valuable items for clients and hopefully sell the rest for a profit. The title refers to the protagonist's pawn shop and home. The game was made possible after a very successful Kickstarter campaign, making more than double its target. I found Barn Finders to be an interesting blend of games like House Flipper and reality TV like Storage Wars. Already released on PC & VR in 2020, Barn Finders is now available on Playstation, Xbox and Switch consoles. Barn Finders - a diamond in the rough or plain old junk? There is a reason that ente...

Dolmen PS5 Review

Almost a year after Dolmen was announced at a Koch Media preview event, it is finally here. I've been anticipating this since I saw it and now I finally get to play it. My initial impression last year was that looked like a mixture of Dark Souls and Dead Space - Dark Souls in Space! If executing correctly, that sounds like an amazing idea. Dolmen - Less Like Souls, More Soulless Dolmen is the first major game developed by Brazilian studio Massive Work Studio and published under the newly formed Prime Matter. The game was released on May 20th, 2020 on both generations of PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. A dolmen by definition is a single chamber tomb. Will this game live up to its namesake? Will the game be filled with wonder and treasures, or will it be empty and nothing but bare bones? Rea...
