Croc Legend of the Gobbos Remastered – PS5 Review

Croc is hopping back into action in Croc Legend of the Gobbos Remastered. Argonaut Games has taken up the task of fitting this classic game into more modern settings through upgraded graphics, a brand new control scheme and some other features. This funky little remaster is available on the Playstation Store for £24.99 Gems, fur balls with crowns and a whole lot of jumping Gameplay Simply put, Croc does exactly what it is meant to do. It plays a lot smoother than it used to (or maybe I'm just better at games now) whilst keeping that nostalgic feeling alive.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land – PS5 Review

The Atelier series is a long-running Japanese RPG series from developer Gust and publisher Koei Tecmo. With this latest release, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land, the series now has 26 main entries, and 17 spin-offs. With such a vast history, it can feel daunting to jump in at the latest point and essentially ignore all the previous games. However, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So, I'll be bringing you a review from the point of view of an Atelier newbie. As a small aside, I do have the Ryza trilogy in my backlog, so hopefully this will give me a flavour of what to expect there. You, Me & Yumia A cold-open gives us a glimpse at a party of characters, riding a large platform upwards. Among the party is main character Yumia Liessfeldt. Suddenly,...

Rugby 25 – PS5 Review

Rugby is a complex game with rules upon rules upon rules. Thankfully Big Ant Studios have given it a go. Now I've been waiting for a decent Rugby game since Jonah Lomu Rugby in 1997. Can Rugby 25 bring back some of the highs I felt? Let's find out. Crouch, Bind, Set There have been so many Rugby games released over the years. Even EA got involved a couple of times. This is the first foray, however, for Big Ant Studios. Albeit in the Union code, having previously released a Rugby League game and even an AFL game. Surely this only bodes well for the Australian developer? Gameplay If you have ever watched or played Rugby, then you know its complexities.
