John Wick Hex Review – Every Dog Has It’s Day

Given the nature of the John Wick franchise, it comes as no surprise that the blockbuster film would hand the license over to a video game developer. We have seen and experienced countless crossover titles but unfortunately, the majority of them lack the quality and passion that the source material deserves. This is why I was shocked to learn that the immensely talented Mike Bithell and his team were developing John Wick Hex, a prequel to the film series. Could this crossover hit the bullseye or will it miss the target? Gameplay John Wick is about relentless action at a break-neck speed. He floats between enemies and orchestrates a symphony of death in an instance. John Wick Hex successfully replicates the glorious violence in a considered, tactical, and cerebral manner. Each miss...

Streets of Rage 4 – PS4 Review

It's been a long 26 years for fans of the classic beat 'em up series, but finally, Streets of Rage is back! Constant rumours and rebooted projects have given plenty of hope for a fourth title, but it just never materialised. Now that's all changed. Published and developed by Dotemu (alongside Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games), Streets of Rage 4 hits PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam on April 30th. As some of my earliest gaming memories involved taking every chance to shun my Super Nintendo, sneak into my brother's room and take down Mr X as many times as possible, you better believe I jumped at the chance to dive back into the city. The all-time classic Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat ‘em up known for this timeless...

Separation, PSVR Review – Glorious solitude or tortured isolation?

It seems very apt in these strange times to be reviewing a game about separation and isolation especially one that is somewhat different from the normal PSVR fare. Solo developer Recluse Industries (Martin Wheeler) has released his first-ever PSVR game in the shape of Separation. It is essentially a very personal game and is born out of the death of the developer's father in 2010 and Wheeler's consequential episodes of depression. Wheeler has said that he wanted to create a space where he could explore the feelings of emptiness and loss. He intriguingly describes Separation as an "Ambient Adventure", and a spiritual journey into epic desolation with relaxed exploration with some puzzle elements and no time pressure. He is at pains to state that it is not your usual PSVR walking simulator ...

Do you want to release that inner child and have a go at driving some diggers and dumpers? Well, thanks to Construction Simulator 3 you can do just that! Developed by weltenbauer.

Persona 5 Royal Review – Takes Your Time, Takes Your Heart

Atlus' Persona 5 released on Playstation 3 and 4 in 2016 to widespread acclaim. Fans of the J-RPG genre loved the lengthy story, in-depth character relationships and action-stealth exploration and critics were into it too. Persona 5 Royal is an upgraded, even more content-rich edition of the original title. There is a lot to explain, and I hope to make this review accessible for those like myself who do not have a degree in Shin Megami Tensei lore. Persona 5 Royal can be purchased digitally for £49.99. In Persona 5 Royal you play as *name of your choice* (we'll call him Phil from now on), a nerdy looking fellow who got chucked in the sin bin for using his fists to stop a powerful man from carrying out a rape. Phil is a good lad, but has been forced to transfer across the country to a ne...

Resident Evil 3 Review – Bloody Brilliant!

News footage infests the television showing chaos from around the world. A disease. An infection. The brain dead roam the desolate streets hunting for food. Yes, the Coronavirus has really done a number on us. In order to escape this horrid reality, the majority of us turn to the virtual world. Here we can lose ourselves in a universe far different than our own. Lurching on to the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC on April 3rd is Resident Evil 3, a remake of the 1999 classic which shares more than a few similarities to our current predicament. Capcom reinvigorated the Resident Evil franchise with the horrifyingly terrific Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. In a landmark move for the franchise, Capcom transformed the game from a sub-par action-orientated horror game (Sorry Resi 6) to a dark, tw...
