Postal REDUX Review – A Symphony of Slaughter (17+)

Postal REDUX is all the glorious murder from the original 1997 PC game Postal but remade in HD and with the Unreal Engine 4.  Once again it has been developed by Running With Scissors but this time around it has been published by MD Games.  It was originally released on PC in 2016, Switch in November of 2020, PlayStation 4 in March in the US, and April for the UK.  Postal REDUX was announced in 2014 but the PlayStation 4 version was cancelled in 2017 due to poor sales on the PC. In Postal REDUX the air ripens with the odours of the dead and dying.  It smells like...Victory Thankfully, MD Games announced a port of the game in September of 2020, and here we are.  We have the original game and all its expansion packs, so 23 stages in total.  Back in the day, Postal received moderate reviews...

Paradise Lost Review And Q&A With The Developers

World War II games tend to lend themselves well to an alternative history, take a look at the Wolfenstein games for instance.  But rather than blasting Nazis to bits, Polish developers PolyAmorous offer us something a little deeper than guns blazing, retro-futuristic technology for their debut title, Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost was developed by PolyAmorous Games and published by All In! games and released on March 24th, 2021 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The Mind Is Its Own Place, And In Itself Can Make A Heaven Of Hell, Or A Hell Of Heaven - John Milton (Paradise Lost) As a huge fan of World War II history, I could not wait to see what alternative path the developers had come up with.  If you have played Paradise Lost, let us know in the comments below.

Demon’s Souls Review – Your Souls Are Mine

Bluepoint Games are back with their signature style of remaking a game. They tread a fine line between making a game look incredible, whilst retaining the original layout, controls, and features. Demon's Souls is the latest showcase of their talents. Whilst some would like to see them tackle their own original title, I feel like the skill involved in how they remake games could be aimed at even more classic titles. Demon's Souls of course is the game that dawned the Souls-like. True, it was Dark Souls that really blew up and ushered in a whole new genre. When you play Demon's Souls however you start to see all the seeds being planted in design and how it evolved to become Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
