Action Arcade Wrestling Review

From developers VICO Game Studio, and published by Reverb Triple XP we have Action Arcade Wrestling. Available on Nintendo Switch, Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 for the low price of $14.99/£12.49 respectively. With an aim to recreate the feeling of the 16-bit wrestling games. Does it succeed in this aim? We aim to answer that question. Action Arcade Wrestling - Bringing back the old school Being an old wrestling fan of 22 years, I have been playing the games for many years also. Before your WWE 2K games, and even before your WWF Raw and No Mercy games, you had the 16-bit era of games. The ones I have the most memories of are WWF Super Wrestlemania and WWF Royal Rumble. Although similar, there are some differences and in some cases improvements, which I will get to in this review. If...

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt is the debut foray into AAA games for Swedish company Sharkmob. It is an online multiplayer third-person battle royale taking place in Prague, Czech Republic. Fighting through the city and the only rule is to keep your existence a secret, the titular masquerade. I didn't come across any plot for the game but it is faithful to the World of Darkness setting. Definitely inspired by games like Apex Legends and PUBG, Bloodhunt however is like their goth cousin. Going it alone or in a trio, fighting to be the last vampire standing, and maintaining the masquerade is all that matters. Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodhunt - Something to Sink Your Teeth Into I kept up on news and other player's thoughts and I found there was some disappointment. Many people were expe...

Deathloop Review

Deathloop is finally here ladies and gentlemen. Deathloop is a brand new IP developed by the brilliant minds at Arkane Studios who brought us Prey and Dishonored what can we expect? Well, the game director Ding Bakaba has described it as an "inverted Cluedo". It is essentially a big old murder mystery where you are stuck in a time loop played from a first-person perspective. It was originally announced at E32019 and again at the PlayStation 5 showcase in 2020 and scheduled to release later that year. But, after a couple of delays due to the ongoing pandemic, Deathloop is finally here. Deathloop - If At First, You Don't Succeed...Die, Die Again Since Microsoft acquired Zenimax Studios, the parent company of publishers Bethesda, they have honoured the agreement to make this a timed con...

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Review

Just hear me out for a second. So, Sniper Elite and Hitman meet in a bar and have a few drinks together. It's all getting a bit amorous as the drinks are flowing. Soldier of Fortune is sitting in the corner thinking "I'm having some of this". They all go home together after many, many drinks. Nine months later, they give birth to a baby game. And that game is Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. The Sniper Ghost Warrior series has had more misses than hits over the years, so it doesn't hurt to take a little inspiration from other stealth games. Especially when you have been lingering long in the shadow of a certain other sniper-based game that I have already mentioned. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 - One Shot Too Many, Or Does It Hit The Mark? Polish developers CI Games has self-publishe...

The Big Con Review

Just imagine, what would happen if every piece of pop culture and cliche from the '90s became a human form and made a game, this would be the result. The Big Con is an action RPG game developed by Mighty Yell and published by Skybound Games. It was released on August 31st 2021 on PC and Xbox One. The Big Con - It's what would happen if an episode of Saved by the Bell focused on a heist I find myself very attracted to anything heist related, especially movies. Baby Driver, The Killing, and Snatch are some of my favourites. I've even seen Rififi, bet you haven't even heard of that. Anyway, I've never really played any heist games so I was really looking forward to this. And I do love me some 90's nostalgia so it's great to see. Let's give this a shot and see if it's worth it. If you're loo...

Rogue Spirit Early Access Review

Rogue Spirit is a 3D rogue-lite action game now available for Early Access on Steam. The developers, Kids With Sticks, have partnered up with publisher 505 Games to bring this third-person adventure to the masses. Kids With Sticks already spent about 19 months developing the game and plan to have it be in Early Access for 7 months. Of course, this is an estimate and not set in stone. If you're a fan of roguelites such as Hades, Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 2, and the like, then Rogue Spirit will be one to add to your collection. Bounce between bodies in Rogue Spirit The aspect of possessing bodies to switch up abilities is what made Rogue Spirit catch my eye. I did not prepare myself for the challenge of playing another roguelite though. Needless to say I will be playing through my frust...
