Cyberpunk 2077 Review – Cyberjunk 2020?

Eight whole years since the first announcement of Cyberpunk 2077, eight whole years. We got our first trailer in 2013, then silence. The trailer was classy and looked every part next-gen, perfectly accompanied by the song Bullets, by British avant-garde rock band Archive. It blew me away, and hype began. Then, radio silence ended E3 2018 and, Keanu Reeves happened... so all aboard the hype train again! "Wake The F*** Up Samurai, We Have A City To Burn" - Welcome To Cyberpunk 2077 Cyberpunk 2077 is an action role-playing game that was released on December 10th, 2020 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia. Both developed and published by CD Projekt Red, it was their first game since 2014's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game is based on the pen and paper role-playing s...

Spirit Of The North Enhanced Edition Review – Who Let The Fox Out?

Spirit of the North Enhanced Edition on PS5 was developed by indie team Infuse Studio and published by Merge Games in November 2020. It was previously released on PS4 in February 2019 and later on Switch and Steam in May 2020. This Enhanced Edition boasts 4k 60fps gameplay and updated textures, lighting and objects. There are also 3 new skins, 2 of those are exclusive to PS5. Spirit of the North was created by Taylor Christensen and Jacob Sutton who both specialise in art rather than programming. They’ve done a tremendous job at using this as a strength, rather than a weakness; leaning into visual design being a core element of the game. Spirit of the North Enhanced Edition PS5 Review - Who Let The Fox Out? This is a game almost devoid of hand-holding and relies on the player to pay a...

Yakuza: Like A Dragon Review – Even Dragons Have Their Endings

With Kazama Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima finally out of the Tojo Clan after 7 games, Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a brand new adventure. Known as Ryū ga Gotoku 7 in Japan, the '7' was dropped from the title to indicate that it is not like the previous games. As usual, Ryū ga Gotoku Studio was at the developing helm with SEGA publishing. Yakuza: Like A Dragon was first released in Japan on January 16th, 2020 on PS4. After translations from Japanese to native languages were done, it was later released on November 10th, 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. A PS5 release is also slated for March 2nd, 2021.

Astro’s Playroom Review – A Celebration Of Sony’s Legacy

Sony's latest mascot is a little robot called Astro. Astro debuted in a strong, PlayStation VR game called Astro Bot Rescue Mission. This was a critical and commercial success right out of the door, offering a charming 3D platformer with a VR twist. Despite being a full game, it was arguably the flagship tech demo for the VR unit itself for a long time. Well SIE Japan Studio is back, and their Asobi Team has put Astro right back in the spotlight. A self-proclaimed tech demo designed to show off the features of the new DualSense controller. This actually undersells Astro's Playroom, which in realistic terms is a competent platformer with a slew of Easter eggs to keep any Sony fan smiling. Check out what we made of it in this Astro's Playroom review. Astro's Playroom Review: A Tech Demo Wi...

Remothered: Broken Porcelain Review – Fragile, But Not Completely Broken

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is the follow up to the award-winning Remothered: Tormented Fathers which released in 2018.

Wonder Blade Review – Streets of Blade?

If you’ve played Streets of Rage or more recently and fittingly, Castle Crashers, then Wonder Blade will seem very familiar to you. This is a 2D side-scrolling brawler that doesn’t do much to separate itself away from other games of it’s kind. That’s not to say this is a bad game, but there is no new ground broken here. Filled with pop culture references and comical cartoon violence. It’s hard not to enjoy the simplicity of mashing hordes of enemies and bouncing around the screen in this colourful adventure. Having won iOS GOTY in 2018 from Reddit, TouchArcade and AppAdvice, Wonder Blade makes its way to Playstation 4. If you've had a chance to play Wonder Blade, I'd love to hear what your take on it is. Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts in the comments below! As always, y...
