Redeemer: Enhanced Edition PS4 Review – Hotline of War

Back when this game originally released, one of the developers over at Sobaka Studio described the game as a mixture of Hotline Miami and God of War. It was a very bold claim with both of the series the developer compared his game to being absolute juggernauts in the gaming industry. Whilst those claims are quite exaggerated, I can definitely see where the developer was coming from and now that Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is gracing consoles, it's time to take a look back at the game to see what improvements have been made. Gameplay In the game you play as Visily, a soldier turned monk who is just trying to live out his remaining years in a mountaintop temple. When his past catches up with him, all Hell breaks loose, leading to the capture of his monk brothers and the destruction of the m...

Judgment PS4 Review – Fists of Justice?

Judgment is the latest release from Ryu ga Gotoku Studios & Sega, the teams that created the well-loved Yakuza series. Judgment is being called the spiritual successor to Yakuza as its set in the same fictional Japanese Red-Light District of Kamurocho. But, it's set after the conclusion of the Kiryu Saga. As a fan of the Yakuza series, I was both excited and a little nervous about getting my hands on Judgment and seeing what might be contained within… Gameplay Players take on the role of former Lawyer turned Detective Takayuki Yagami. Weighed down by the knowledge that he was responsible for the acquittal of a Murder suspect who then killed his own girlfriend. Yagami is entangled in a case where his former employer is defending a Yakuza charged with murder and thus our story un...

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled PS4 Review – Woobeega!

Well, it is finally here! after all the hype and excitement I finally got hold of a copy of Activision's Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled (referred to herein as CTRNF.) Having not played it for many many years since its original form on the PS1, it is scary to think that when CTR originally came out I was 19, young, free and playing the field, with no real responsibilities, and here I am age 38 with a wife, mortgage and 4 kids, how times change! The Crash Bandicoot franchise seems very much alive since the successful launch of the N'sane Trilogy, how will this blend of Crash Team Racing, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing work out? Will dev Beenox be able to resurrect the nostalgia? Gameplay Ok, let's cut to the chase. The real reason you are probably reading this is to see ...

F1 2019 PS4 Review – Rise of a Legend

Codemasters have returned with the latest instalment of the F1 franchise and this year they have released F1 2019 earlier than usual. A Whole 2 months earlier than F1 2018. So why should you part with your hard earned money and purchase this game, only a whole 10 months after you probably bought last years? Let's Find Out! Gameplay Rather than going into the game telling you that it's a racing game, the best thing to do is to let you know what has changed in F1 2019. So the first thing that you will come across is the new F2 feeder series scenarios at the start of the career mode. This is a great way to introduce you to a couple of new characters that will pop up throughout your career. However this Feeder series is skippable, but its a great introduction into the game itself. U...

Home Sweet Home Ps4 Review – Hide and Seek and Scream

Is it safe to come out now? For the last couple of weeks I have been playing through Yggdrazil Group's first-person horror/puzzle game Home Sweet Home, and those that know me will remember how easily I can jump when playing games of this nature! Gameplay With elements taken from Thai folklore which indeed adds to the story and atmosphere, you are fooled into thinking this is another typical horror game when you wake up in a room as a guy called Tim who has no memory as to how he got there but is aware that he has a family that he needs to find. With the basic scenario set out, you begin your single player mission to walk about the rooms and hallways of the building looking for answers. It does not take that long to come across strange goings-on when you see out of the corner of your...

Leisure Suit Larry Wet Dreams Don’t Dry PS4 Review

Calling all Sierra fans, your favourite 80's sleazy Lounge Lizard has returned, this time on PS4 in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry. Larry Laffer is back in the gaming saddle after taking the reigns back off his nephew Larry Lovage in the last two ‘alternative’ instalments. Wet Dreams Don’t Dry comes to us from CrazyBunch, who look to return Larry to his point and click adventure roots. The question is, does this game offer up some Stiff Competition or is it just a flaccid failure of a game from a series that should’ve stayed in the 80’s? Gameplay I’m sure anyone old enough to remember the original games only really remembers them because of the adult content and really being ‘too young’ at the time to play the game. This is because for the most part the story content only in...

Dollhouse PS4 Review – Dollhouse of horrors

When finding out what game I want to review I always check out what kind of game it is, and as someone who plays a lot of horrors and watches numerous horror films with minimal flinching I thought would take Dollhouse and put my horror gaming skills to the test, but it was not like any other horror game I previously played! From the creators of many games including Ether One and Truck Driver SOEDESCO have teamed up with Creazn Studio and they have released this wonderfully creepy psychological horror 1950's Hollywood film noir for us all to enjoy! it is available on all PS4, PC and Xbox One. Gameplay You're an ex-detective called Marie, who has awoken in a location she does not know along with amnesia, the only thing you remember is the death of your daughter. You can hear a woman...

Anthem – A Game I Still Want to Love

When Anthem released back in February, I was looking forward to a lengthy relationship with a game that brought refreshing gameplay and a new IP to the table from a studio that was well-known for its deep and rich storytelling. I spent more time streaming Anthem than I had anything else in a long while and I thought for sure I had found my new home. Post-launch plans were in place by BioWare for future content to keep the game fresh and things were really looking like they were on track for an avid community for a while to come. This new, shiny treasure was going to be amazing! Sadly though, healthy infancy wasn’t in the cards for Anthem. Almost immediately after the game went live for the full launch, it was already drawing criticism for falling short of its massive potential. Play...

Bubsy Paws on Fire PS4 Review: A Furry-ous Platform… Er?

Bubsy the platforming Bob-Cat returns to us in this latest addition to the series from Accolade, this time courtesy of developers Choice Provisions the creators of games like Runner 3. As a child, I’m going to be honest, I was more into Sonic, but I do remember playing the older Bubsy games. So, when I was given the chance to do this review I thought great, some old school style gaming for a change with a bit of nostalgia sprinkled on for me. Let’s just say I didn’t get what I was expecting… Gameplay Right off the Bat, Bubsy Paws on Fire is a different style of game than I was expecting to play, instead of a traditional Platformer it was very quickly apparent that this is more of a side-scrolling speed-run game. You play as one of 3 characters; Bubsy (of course), Virgil and Wool...

American Fugitive PS4 Review – Old School GTA Returns!

American Fugitive developed by British studio Fallen Tree Games and published by Curve Digital is a 3D top-down open world game that has strong roots with the original Grand Theft Auto games. Available across all platforms, I was lucky enough to take the PS4 version out for a spin! Gameplay American Fugitive is set in a quiet American country town called Redrock County back in the 1980s and yes it is single player. You take on the character of Will Riley who arrives at his father's house following a late night phone call to find him lying dead on the floor. Even though you had no part to play in the cold-blooded murder of your father, you are framed and locked up in a prison. Powered by vengeance and determination to find out who actually committed the crime you break out of jail...
