Tomb Raider IV – VI Remastered – PS5 Review

The only thing I wanted after reviewing the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Trilogy was a remaster of 4-6. Apsyr apparently heard my prayers and have finally remastered the finale of the original Lara plot as well as Angel of Darkness. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered brings back The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider 5 and Angel of Darkness to modern consoles. Controversially, Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness is one of my favourite games and Tomb Raider IV was the first game I ever finished on my own so there was a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in these games. When the games were announced I pre-ordered immediately but was it worth it? Or did the remaster not hit the mark the same way these games originally did? I don't count poison darts and triggered entombment your average child's tea party You can...

Snezhinka: Sentinel Girls 2 – Switch Review

Publisher and Developer Hinyari9 is back with Snezhinka: Sentinel Girls 2! Out now on Nintendo Switch, this game is a sequel to Marfusha, and this time, the stakes are higher, the taxes are worse, and the violins are sublime. Step into the boots of Snezhinka, a contract employee in a dystopian private military company, fending off waves of robotic foes in a desperate bid to survive, get paid (barely), and maybe, just maybe, find your missing sister. But is this high-tempo shooter a must-play, or does the grind drag it down like an over-taxed pay slip? Snezhinka: Sentinel Girls 2 – 2 Girls 1 Mech Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, I want to hear from you! Are you excited for this one? Are you drawn in by the fast-paced shooting, the cyberpunk-inspired setting, or maybe just the idea...

Ruffy and the Riverside Demo – PC Preview

Ruffy and the Riverside is an Indie Action, Adventure with slight RPG elements. Developed by Zockrates Laboratories UG, with this game being their first step into the industry. Even their publisher Phiphen Games is entering the industry with this banger of a game. If the title didn't let you know that my experience was through a demo of the game. Which I quite enjoyed...even if I beat it all in less than an hour. When I do a full review of the game, I won't be like Ruffy and copy & paste everything here on there....or will I? This is taking changing the environment to a literal sense. Gameplay Ruff and the Riverside has you starting on a falling piece of land with almost no explanation as to why this happened. You're taught the one mechanic you'll be using like crazy is Ruff's Cop...

Tales of Graces f Remastered – PC Review

Tales of Graces f Remastered is an Action, Adventure RPG developed by Tose Co and published by Bandai Namco. It originally came out in 2009 in Japan under the name Tales of Graces and was only available on the Wii. In 2010 it was then ported to the PS3 in Japan, and renamed Tales of Graces f. It didn't get a localization until two years later which makes since since localization takes a lot of effort and time. Especially with a game as massive of a franchise like the Tales of series. Now with today's advances, we can now play this wonderous game on all platforms under the sun. And what a time to be alive to not have to worry if I have the console to play this game! Today I'm playing the game on PC and you can pick up your copy from Steam, for £35. Tired and injured? Why not take an App...

Initially released in 2022, the game released by Dark Point Games SA came to Switch this January and tells the story of Achilles following his story through the battle of Troy where he's meant to face his destiny. Currently available on the Switch Store for £13.99 - is it worth adding to your Steam library? I've sunk a fair few hours (and ships) into the game to give you some insight. Telling the Untold Legend one chapter at a time Gameplay The story of Achilles has been done so many times and very rarely can you find something that does it different. With Achilles: Legends Untold, the devs ...
