Gray Zone Warfare – PC Early Access Preview

Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical FPS in early access by MADFINGER Games. Take on missions solo or with a squad of your own as you explore a persistent, remote Southeast Asian island in both PvE and PvPvE combat. The game is only available on Steam. Tactics are Needed in the Gray Zone I'm no stranger to first-person shooter games. My most consistently played series over the years is without a doubt Battlefield. They provide a nice blend of ground and vehicle combat that I think draws me, alongside the steady paced action. Gray Zone Warfare is one that I've seen but not really taken a look at as far as FPS games go. I was guessing it would be a mixture of Rainbow Six Siege and Squad from the tactical standpoint. Let me share what I found thus far in my time with the game below. Gamepla...

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance – PS5 Review

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, developed by Bit Bot Media and published by Crystal Dynamics, is a retro pixel-art 2D action platformer and the first original entry in the series in over two decades. The long-awaited follow-up arrives 23 years after 2003's Legacy of Kain: Defiance, the franchise's previous installment. After three remasters in recent years, Soul Reaver 1, Soul Reaver 2, and Legacy of Kain: Defiance, fans of the franchise finally get to explore never-before-seen characters, places, and timelines. Which, at first, may sound intriguing and interesting, but unfortunately, new personalities like Elaleth do not feel like an organic addition to the lore. Instead, the execution falls flat, burdening a beloved franchise with retroactive continuities, or rather, I should say retroact...

Grind Survivors – PC Review

Grind Survivors is a new top-down action roguelike, bullet hell mashup by Pushka Studios. Survive your way through endless swarms of demons in fast-paced biomes, gaining experience and stacking different bonuses to enhance your weapon. Pick up loot, boost your passives, and come back gunning. With publishing by Assemble Entertainment (Sticky Business, Endzone - A World Apart), the game is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic, and GOG. Grind Those Demons! Here I am at it again. Yet another roguelite/roguelike on my plate. Thankfully, I seem to keep coming up with a fresh appetite. It's pretty likely now that anything with "Survivors" in the title gives the average gamer an idea of what's on the menu at least. Does Grind Survivors hold true? Check out my ...

MindsEye – PC Review

MindsEye was released back in June 2025 on Steam. And was shown to be a new action, single player experience by the team at Build a Rocket Boy. Now, I've heard the negatives already about the game, but I'm always happy to give any game a fair shot. In addition, MindsEye has had a few updates since release which are meant to make the game run smoother. You can grab the game for £54.99 on Steam, or the Deluxe Edition, which will set you back £66.99, and that comes with a few extra goodies. Robot evolution, what is the worst that can happen? Gameplay We start MindsEye with a rather interesting opening cutscene, that shows the character Jakob Diaz, and his team. After Diaz sends his drone to check out an underground cave, he uncovers something odd, that leads to him being discharged from ...

Dragonkin: The Banished – PS5 Review

The Action RPG genre can be a tough one to break into. With series such as Diablo, Path of Exile, and the plethora of Warhammer ARPGs, to name but a few. The incredibly addictive nature of grinding, dungeon-delving, and loot-hoarding is one I've been a fan of for a long time. With Dragonkin: The Banished leaving Early Access and releasing on consoles, I knew I had to play it! Created by developer Eko Software (who know a thing or two about ARPGs!), Dragonkin has just launched its 1.0 version. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is priced at £34.99 on consoles and £20.99 on Steam. All You Need Is Loot I'll admit it. I'm one of those gamers that, when they really get into a game, it's the only thing on their mind until the credits roll. With ARPGs, t...

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection PC Review

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (MHS3) is an Adventure RPG from the company making bangers for 2026, Capcom. As the number shows, this is the third installment to the Monster Hunter Stories. The story of the game takes place 200 years after the events in MHS2. Now, since I got to play the second entry, I can tell the major improvements to this current game. So, without further ado, let's start the review and get some Monsties. When you need eggs, courage and an understanding of how rock-paper-scissors works, you too can hunt Monsties. Gameplay MHS3 begins with a slightly generous character customization screen. What? You thought I was going to start with the story? We'll get to that after this, don't worry. Now, I will say that Capcom gave a nice selection for customizing...

Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War – PS5 Review

It's so nice to see Starship Troopers getting so much love these last couple of years. First we had the strategy game Starship Troopers: Terran Command.

New Super Lucky’s Tale – PS5 Review

With the world literally and figuratively burning as humanity marches ever forward towards annihilation, memories of a carefree childhood playing colourful 3D platformers feel like a surreal hallucination rather than something that actually happened. A simpler time when games shipped feature complete and bonus character costumes were unlocked with double jumps and not our wallets. New Super Lucky's Tale burrows its way onto PlayStation 5 on the 26th March to show, once again, that 3D platformers can still shine in 2026, even if it still needs a little polish. A tale as old as 2019 Are you clinging onto nostalgia? What's your favourite platformer? Let us know in the comments below, and maybe you might add this to your list too. Let's get to the review.

Marathon – PC Review

Marathon is the latest IP from the creators of Halo and Destiny. Bungie joins the extraction shooter genre with this FPS, PvPvE style addition set in a failed human colony of the future. It is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox X|S. Shells Will Crack in Marathon Destiny 2 is one of my top games on Steam, Though I haven't been playing for a few expansions now. But my familiarity with worlds by Bungie have me looking forward to what Marathon has to offer. Especially since that whole artwork ordeal was settled. Now that it is here, how is it? Take a look at my thoughts in the review below. Gameplay Marathon is a first-person extraction shooter set in a futuristic timeline beyond humanity's attempt to colonize the planet of Tau Ceti IV. As a runner, your consciousness inhabits a synthe...

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered – PS5 Review

Who would have thought that we'd ever see the Legacy of Kain series again? Well, after last year's Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, it looks like the franchise may be back! Potentially, but we'll have to wait and see, as the latest game, Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered, is another remaster. An updated version of the 2003 title released on PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, does Defiance stand the test of time? Can co-developers Crystal Dynamics and PlayEveryWare bring this almost 26-year-old title to a modern audience? Or, will it only resonate with those of us that have played the original? It's always tough to say with remastered classics! Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is available now on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series...
