Sneaky Bears PSVR Review – Bears Everywhere

Sneaky Bears is here on the PSVR and is published by War Ducks LTD. This is an on the rails PSVR shooter using move controllers. You are trying to stop the evil Frankie from destroying humanity after he was discarded by the family who owned him. So, let the shooting begin. Gameplay Sneaky Bears has three modes, there is Survival Mode, Fire Mode and Bomb Mode. The game controls made me feel like I’d been thrown into an action movie. Even though I was wielding dual toy pistols I felt like a bad ass. First of all, there's Survival Mode, you fight waves of angry bears with a sole purpose of taking you out. First off you’ll notice your guns are holstered like a cowboy, on the left is a shotgun and on the right is a pistol. Reach down and draw!! Blam Blam I am an unstoppable gunslinge...

Nidhogg 2 Review – Worms Everywhere

Nidhogg 2 is a quirky hacking, slashing, stabbing fencing game. Which is now 16bit instead of 8bit like the original. It's a hard game to describe but I'll do my very best. Gameplay Nidhogg 2 gameplay is split into three different modes. You have Arcade Mode, which is yourself versus the computer. There is Local Multiplayer which is a good old-fashioned on the couch war with your friends. This can be the classic one on one, or you can set up a tournament for three to eight players. Finally, there is Online Multiplayer where you can play ranked matches or unranked matches. Again, these are one on one battles. Nidhogg 2 plays like a game of tug of war. There are seven screens and you both begin on the middle screen. You then kill your opponent anyway possible, you can use your fee...

DeadCore Review – Dead To The Core

Developed by 6 friends who met while studying game design in France, who call themselves 5 Bit Games, and published by Bandai Namco. DeadCore – previously named DeadLock started life as an entry in the 7DFPS Game Jam back in 2012, an event which tasks developers with creating a first-person shooter in just one week. After a minor crowd funding campaign, development began in January 2013, aimed at turning their creation into a full commercial release. They soon caught the eye of publisher Bandai Namco, who promptly snapped the game up. Deadcore suffers in one particular area: it has no purpose. Game Play If you’re looking for a game with story ( Who isn’t? ) I’m afraid you will be in a state of unease with Deadcore because quite frankly, there isn’t one, but more disappointingly the game ...

LawBreakers Review – Definitely NOT Overwatch

LawBreakers, originally called Blue Streak, was a free to play game or that's what the theory was. However, that has all changed. It comes in two flavours available on the PlayStation Store, the Standard version at £24.99 or the Deluxe version with some extra skins at £29.99. The back story to the game wasn't explained very well whilst in-game. This left me having to search online to find out the story behind LawBreakers. This wasn’t hard but a minor inconvenience all the same. LawBreakers is set in an alternate future after an event called “the shattering”. This wasn’t really made clear but at my personal guess it was some sort of act of mother nature, possibly? This event has caused problems with the laws of gravity. Anyway there are two factions in the game “The Law” the law enfor...

Dead Purge: Outbreak Review – Head Shot or Head Flop?

Dead Purge: Outbreak by Microlith Games is a first person zombie shooter set in a post-apocalyptic era that is available for the PC. With the zombie shooter genre constantly being pushed upon me via the daily shared videos on social media of Days Gone and my friend's showing off their latest gameplay from Call of Duty Zombies my appetite is constantly whetted. Boasting of "beautiful locations & dozens of weapons" along with a "realistic combat system & multiple game modes" I sat down at my PC and looked forward to what was going to unfold. Gameplay Ok, so lights down nice and low, headset on and most importantly; nothing around my feet incase there are a few jump scares! Hitting "Play" on the opening screen I proceed to choose game mode. Hang on, there is only "Horde" an...

Unbox Newbie’s Adventure Review – Keep or Recycle?

Unbox - Newbie's Adventure by indie developer Prospect Games is a 3D platformer set in a colourful large world. Taking control of a cardboard box, yes you heard me right, it is down to you to single handedly raise the reputation of the Global Postal Service (GPS) that is currently in a down hill spiral thanks to parcels going missing and failed delivery times. Proving yourself "as a sentient, self delivering package", this game sounds so riveting, the enemy is introduced as someone called "Boss Wild" and the little evil minions, "Wild Cards". Gameplay Having sat through the intro that builds up to your dramatic arrival into the GPS I was under the impression that I was about to be unleashed into a fun, action packed world and couldn't wait to begin. Through the tutorial it is expl...

Pixel Worlds Review – Minecraft This Is Not

In Pixel Worlds players can create their own worlds with building blocks and different items that range from furniture to clothing items. Players also build platform levels for others to play, marketplaces for trading the ingame items and info worlds to help new players, among other things. Privately held mobile games developer, Kukouri Mobile Entertainment developed this game for high end mobile devices like Apple iPhone, iPad and Android platforms, but for this review I played through Steam. Gameplay I had very little expectations going into Pixel Worlds. I knew basically nothing about it other than it was something like Minecraft, which I have played and enjoy for some relaxing building, but boy was this nothing like Minecraft! The first faux pas for me was that you had to choose ...

AereA Review – Musical Hit or Musical Tragedy?

AereA is a music themed action RPG (ARPG) developed by Triangle Studios and published by SOEDESCO. Presented in 4K resolution, you are to play as one of the Great Maestro Guido's disciples as you explore the mysterious floating island of Aezir. Your quest? to find 9 primordial instruments in order to restore balance and peace to the world. With a fair amount of ARPGs currently currently on the market such as Victor Vran and Super Dungeon Bros, I was wondering how AereA would squeeze itself into the genre and set it apart from the others. Gameplay The intro kicks in and a simple menu appears set to a background containing Aezir broken into a number of smaller islands and a floating airship. Selecting "start game" I embark on choosing my save slot and selecting my character. ...

Nex Machina Review – Dodge, Dip, Dive, Duck and Dodge

Nex Machina, a collaboration between Housemarque (Resogun and Alienation) and legendary game developer Eugene Jarvis (massively famous for Defender, Robotron & NARC), is an explosive arcade experience that gives a strong nod towards the fun coin-op games I used to play down the arcades in the 80s/90s. As I patiently wait for the game to load I am greeted by the intro screen showing a machine of death, its eyes glowing on and off, red with power. The retro arcade electronic music kicks in and I am prompted to press X to continue. Gameplay A list of game options presents itself and allows you to either experience arcade mode; an arena; or a single world. A grin crosses my face as I see that local 2 player co-op is supported (I'm easily pleased as I seldom get to play on my own...
