Directive 8020 – PS5 Review

In space, no one can hear you scream. That may be for the best when it comes to the horrors inside Directive 8020. Developed by Supermassive Games, the game was released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on the 12th May 2026. Supermassive know their cinematic horror, so prepare for the return of branching choices, gruesome deaths and Hollywood faces. The Standard Edition costs £39.99. The Digital Deluxe Edition increases the price to £49.99. So does it get off to an astronomical start, or is it just a waste of space? A Fear Orbit Experience Directive 8020 feels like an unholy union of Alien and The Thing. A cramped spaceship? Check. A hostile shape-shifting threat? Also check. Growing paranoia making every crewmate feel suspicious? Triple check. The setup captures the suffocating tensi...

Vultures – Scavengers of Death – PC Review

What if you took the classic Resident Evil games, and turned them into a tactical turn-based game. It looks like you'd create Vultures - Scavengers of Death!. Or that's what the game looks like to me. If you want something a little different to other survival horror, then why not pick it up on Steam for £14.99.

The Spell Brigade – PC Review

The Spell Brigade is an Action Rougelike Survivor game from Bolt Blaster Games. The game gives me the mix of Vampire Survivor and a dash of Deep Rock Galactic" Survivor for the mobs. The one aspect that makes it different from those two is that this game starts with Co-op. In fact, they encourage you to play with others. Thankfully, Bolt Blaster kindly gave enough keys to play with others to fully experience the game. So, I'll be giving my full thoughts and opinion on the game. Now everyone, pick your wizard, collect the mana and let's fight the final boss known as this review. See...when you give me a game like this with wizards, I'm hoping a reference of Ball Wizard can one day be reality. Gameplay We start as just a normal orb wizard. Destroying creatures we know aren't friendly...

Resident Evil: The 90s Trilogy – PC Review

Before there was Requiem and a large collection of remasters, there was the original Resident Evil trilogy. The original 90 releases are now available on Steam. You can grab them for £7.99 each now. Check out our other PC reviews here. Once upon a time, these were some of the most terrifying games that ever existed Gameplay Arguably, the first Resident Evil is one of the most important horror games to come out in the 90s, launching the franchise into the public eye and defining a solid run of horror games. After being sent to investigate strange murders just outside Raccoon City, you can play as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine as you explore the horrors of Arklay Mansion. The second installment introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield trying to flee Raccoon City after a ...

Pragmata PS5 Review

Pragmata is an Action, Adventure game from Capcom. A game that was first revealed at the start of the PS5's life back in 2020. It was honestly one of the main reason I originally got a PS5. Which we got a good, strong time of hearing nothing about this project and just hoping to hear something about it. Like the game Little Devil Inside which I'm still waiting to hear something about that game. With some people enjoying Pragmata for not only the gameplay, but the message within it. Others are just tearing it down for clout. Now, 01110011 01110100 01100001 01110010 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01110110 01101001 01100101 01110111 00100001 !

Morbid Metal, a third-person action roguelite by SCREEN JUICE is available now in early access. With publishing by Ubisoft, become an agent of destruction while shifting between characters mid-combat, combining attacks and abilities to overcome sectors of machine foes. You can currently check it out only on Steam. Metal Meets Metal in this Hack 'n Slash Roguelite This game originally caught my eye a few years ago. I added it to my wishlist after finding it, but believe I must have removed it after not seeing much news on development so I didn't notice the news ramp back up over the last year. I think StarRupture was the last game I had a similar wishlist experience with. Was I just as impressed with the re-emergence of Morbid Metal? Find out below! Gameplay Morbid Metal is a third-...

Aphelion – PS5 Review

In my opinion, developer DON'T NOD has created some brilliant games that people don't speak about enough. Aside from the first two Life is Strange titles, they've also developed games such as the wonderful Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and the criminally underrated Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Now, they're set to release Aphelion, a sci-fi action adventure set on an uncharted planet. Aphelion is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC vis Steam. Is this game's narrative on par with the rest of DON'T NOD's back catalogue? And adding to that, is the gameplay enjoyable enough to keep players engaged? Let's find out! Did You Know: "Aphelion" Isn't a Word Made Up For This Game! The nigh-on infinite amount of sci-fi in films, books, games, and so on, has kept me enterta...
