Escape from Ever After – PS5 Review

Have you ever asked yourself, "What would you get if you mixed fairy tales, paper-thin characters (literally), and a charming, colourful aesthetic?" No, me neither, but thankfully developer Sleepy Castle Studio did, because now we have Escape from Ever After! This is the developers very first title, and oh wow, does it look like a great debut! Escape from Ever After is a turn-based action RPG, and is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S. Like A Storybook Come to Life! Let's not shy away from the obvious: Escape from Ever After is clearly a homage to the classic Paper Mario titles. As someone who absolutely adored Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for GameCube, I've been looking forward to this since its announcement! But will this have the same m...

MIO: Memories In Orbit – PS5 Review

We're starting 2026 off with a bang with a very strong indie Metroidvania offering from Douze Dixièmes and Focus Entertainment. MIO: Memories In Orbit is, if you'll excuse the pun, stellar. Whilst I certainly have gripes with some elements, I'm very much captivated with the whole experience. I wrote a preview on MIO in June last year when I played the demo, and most of my thoughts there still stand, I recommend reading that too. Following my time with the full game, I now have answers to some of the burning questions I had. Holy Mother of Pearl! Mio Is Precious I don’t really like talking about story details in my review, at least beyond the initial premise. That is especially true for games like this - where the journey of discovery for each player is so important, and will uniquely ...

Mutant Football League 2 – PS5 Review

Do you prefer your American football with a little more... fantasy action? Well, you're in luck, because Mutant Football League 2 is out now! Can developer Digital Dreams Entertainment score a touchdown with this hard-hitting sequel? Or should these marauding monsters be given a penalty? Let's take a look, as we review the PlayStation 5 version! The game is also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and is priced at £24.99. Huddle Up, It's Time To Get Violent! Mutant Football League 2 isn't a game that tries to capture the sport as realistically as possible. This is an 8-on-8 arcade experience, full of brutal, yet humorous, action. Each of the 35 available teams are parodies of real-life teams, such as the Cracksumskull Jugulars or the Killadelphia Evils. No prizes for guessing which ...

A Game About Digging A Hole – PS5 Review

Weird and wonderful indie titles are becoming more and more prominent in the gaming world. Which I, for one, couldn't be happier about! This time, we're checking out A Game About Digging A Hole, which was released earlier in 2025 for PC. Now that developer DoubleBee has released the game on PlayStation 5, it was time to give it a go, and get digging! Can You Dig It? Now, no prizes for guessing what this game's about, but is there a story behind it? Well, kind of! Our protagonist has purchased a new home, thanks to a rather alluring advertisement that states that gold is buried in the garden. How could they resist? It's a basic premise, sure, but enough to give you context as to why you're seemingly digging to the centre of the Earth in your back garden. So, your character splashes...

The Berlin Apartment – Playstation 5 Review

They say that a house holds memories and every memory is a story to tell. Blue Backpack uses their new release to explore the sombre reality of Berlin through different eras through a quaint little Berlin Apartment. This narrative focused game takes you through the lives of Josef (1933), Mathilda (1945), Kolja (1989) and Tonia (1967). Available on the PS Store for £19.99, we took a step into The Berlin Apartment to see whether this game deserves a place in your collection. One Apartment, Many Stories, Much Heart Gameplay As a narrative-driven story, the gameplay of The Berlin Apartment is pretty simplistic. You use the analogue stick to move around along with R2 to interact with the environment. However, this simplistic approach works in the game's favour. Absorbing the story is mu...

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack – PS5 Review

Between 2019 and 2023, developer Gust released three games in the Atelier Ryza series. A trilogy that many believe really popularised the almost three-decade-old franchise. Now, Gust have compiled all three games into Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack! Each game, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX, and Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX includes lots of added content and all previously released DLC. Sounds like a bit of a big collection, right? This review will be using the PlayStation 5 version, which is available for purchase now! The bundle pack, priced at £73.99, contains all three titles for both PS4 and 5. Alternatively, you're able to purchase each separately at £32.99. R...

Demonschool – PS5 Review

Demonschool first caught my attention and jumped onto my wishlist in June 2023, when it appeared on the Guerrilla Collective showcase. Back then it was slated for a 2023 release, which later became late 2024, and then late 2025. Well, Necrosoft Games have finished their development ritual, and Demonschool launched on 19th November. It's available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One & Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Prices vary by store, up to £19.99, but there're introductory discounts into early December. School's Out, Demons Are In Faye is an overexcited demon hunter on her way to college on the island of Hensk. She's sure, thanks to an ancient prophecy, that demons, and the apocalypse, are coming to the island. Immediately upon arrival at the island, things become more complicate...
