The Forest PS4 Review – Sun, sea and suspicious people.

Have you ever wanted to just get on a plane and head out anywhere? How about you hop on a plane, it crashes, you survive and land on the most beautiful little island you have ever witnessed? As much nature as a David Attenborough documentary and beautiful scenery. Sounds amazing right? how about if it means your only child was missing on the island, and the other occupants of the island are slightly cannibalistic and deformed, just slightly... Endnight Games, an independent games studio bring us their second title The Forest. The Forest is available on PC, Ps4, although it is not yet released for the Xbox one there are speculations and also questions as to if it will ever be available for the Microsoft platform.

Riot: Civil Unrest PS4 Review – Clash Of The Pixel People

Riot: Civil Unrest is, as it sounds, a game based on riots. Developed by Merge Games you get to play as either the Police or angry protestors in scenarios that simulate actual events around the world. Cue some Kaiser Chiefs, I predict a riot? Gameplay On initial thoughts of what Riot: Civil Unrest could entail, I found myself really looking forward to getting stuck into a real-time riot simulator as it is something I have never taken part in in the real world. You see riots all the time reported in the media, therefore taking control of one of the sides involved in an attempt to win the clash was an interesting idea. Reading into the background bumf to the game, you learn that the creator of Riot: Civil Unrest, Leonard Menchiari has experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV p...

At Sundown: Shots in the Dark is a hide and seek style multiplayer shoot-em-up stealth game created by mild beast games and Versus|Evil. At sundown is available to play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo switch and PC. It’s available through local play, training and also you can unlock different game modes as you level up. If you’re looking for a 90’s vibe gaming this may be a game for you! This screams SEGA gaming to me! Gameplay In the game, the light is your enemy, the best thing to do is keep hidden, and if you see any enemies shoot them and return to the darkness. Keeping away from any bullets that may be coming your way you can also collect small crates that give you options such as infinite ammo, a shield and other fun things. You can level up your guns meaning your rev...

Pode PS4 Review – Teamwork Has Never Felt So Rewarding

Pode, by independent developer Henchman & Goon, is an amazing co-operative platform puzzle game that has been inspired by Norwegian culture. Available on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch this exploration game is quite simply amazing and a breath of fresh air to me. Gameplay Pode features two main characters; a little rock called Bulder and a fallen star called Glo, together they must work together as they wander through the mysterious and magical Mount Fjellheim in a mission to help Glo get back into the sky. Incidentally, Pode is Norwegian for "Graft"! Playing as either two-player co-op or in single player you must utilise each of the character's special abilities in order to activate and reach the exit on each level. In the early stages, the basics of movement and jumping ...

Hitman HD Collection PS4 Review – You Are In My Crosshairs

Hitman HD Collection by IO interactive is available now for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Gameplay Hitman HD Collection is two games in one. Firstly you have Hitman: Absolution and secondly is Hitman: Bloodmoney. Both these games have been remastered to 4k resolution with enhanced graphics with 60fps. Now I am a longtime fan of the Hitman series since the original PC releases, so I was very happy to receive a review code to revisit my time as Agent 47. All the classic weapons are here from your Silverballers to fiber wire and poisons. Depending on how you choose to play each of these games will change your experience as Agent 47. Personally I love to take my time and wait for the perfect moment to strike. There is nothing better than treating each hit provided like a work ...

Dirt Rally 2.0 PS4 Review – Gritty Racing

Do you want a rally game that is both immersive and entertaining? Well then look no further than Codemasters lastest release Dirt Rally 2.0, released on PS4, Xbox One and PC we return to the gravel tracks, asphalt roads and winding tracks. Gameplay Without teaching you to suck eggs, Dirt Rally 2.0 is an immersive and deep rally game that brings new elements to an already brilliant game (Dirt Rally). I put a massive amount of time into the previous iteration, but was left feeling a little let down with the lack of post-release content, only a few rallycross tracks saw that mode let behind, but with Dirt Rally 2.0 we get 8 rallycross tracks and a whole bunch of new locations for you to race around. Being the official racing game of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, you get to ra...

Dead or Alive 6 PS4 Review – King of the… Oh Wait!?

Dead or Alive 6 is the latest in a fairly long running franchise from Team Ninja. Personally, I don’t have too much experience with this particular series, however, I am a big ‘Beat’em up’ fan so when given the chance to review this I was looking forward to it. Everyone knows the DOA games, however not necessarily for the fighting, it has a somewhat rough reputation as ‘oh the one with the bouncing breasts’ which, while true enough is a little harsh in my opinion (at least going into the review). The Developers did make it clear that Dead or Alive 6 would be a much more serious entry into this genre and offer more in the lines of competition and less ‘jiggle’ mechanics. So, does this game offer more than a little titillation? Let’s find out… Gameplay Dead or Alive 6 is split int...

Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek PS4 Review – Yawn Found Me Again!

Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek by Tiny Build is the second installment of the gaming franchise and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. Conceived as a prequel to the first Hello Neighbor game, it is fairly similar in gaming experience and notoriously harder in my opinion when it comes to solving puzzles. Let's break it down! Gameplay The first Hello Neighbor game saw you play the role of a young boy who thinks he has seen something untoward happening in his Neighbor's basement and attempts to sneak into his house and uncover the truth, check out a film called "The Burbs" if you enjoy the storyline. If any of you have played the game you will appreciate that the neighbor, Mr Peterson, was relentless in his pursuits of you and most of the game was about being ...

Spike Volleyball PS4 Review – A Real ‘Dump’ of a Game?

Spike Volleyball is the latest entry in the sports line-up from the team that gave us Tennis World Tour; Big Ben Interactive. Now I’m not going to claim to be a volleyball expert, I think the only time I have ever watched a real Volleyball match was during the 2012 Olympics. My expertise of this sport is firmly within the realms of Tekken Ball back on the PS1 (Yes, I played as Gon the little Dinosaur wearing Boxing Gloves) That being said, I was open minded to a more realistic volleyball game and thought it could be interesting, so here we are all ready to do a review… Gameplay As soon as the game loads up it throws you into a tutorial game giving you the very basics of how to play, I needed this as I mentioned I have no experience with Volleyball as a sport so any help was ver...

Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 Review: A New Light after 14 years of Darkness?

Kingdom Hearts 3 is the latest in a line of releases from Square Enix, and the first completely new full title in the series since 2005. Being completely honest, back when the first game was released in 2002, I was just finishing up my A-levels and heading out into the real world, so I didn’t have much time for a ‘Disney game’ (or that was my mind-set at the time). When Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced and the buzz around it started to happen it intrigued me and resulted in me purchasing the PS4 HD remastered collection just before Christmas in a bid to catch up ready for its release (that and I had a feeling I might be doing a review). I only managed to get through the first game, due to time constraints and other reasons, but it did make me realise that I should have given this serie...
