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...

Achilles: Legends Untold – Nintendo Switch Review

As someone who's a huge fan of Achilles mythology, souls-like games and needed more reasons to use my Nintendo Switch, I was very excited to be able to get my hands on Achilles: Legends Untold. 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 ...

Stars In The Trash – PC Review

Stars In The Trash, developed by Valhalla Cats, is a beautiful hand-drawn video game. It was released at the start of December on Steam for £9.99. We did have early access to this game but we had to delay our review due to a little accessibility issue. There was a level in the game where the screen strobes in a big way, and with no warning message, I wasn't willing to publish our review. A couple of emails to the PR team and we got a message saying that the devs had pushed an update. They also thanked us for bringing it to their attention as it wasn't something they had thought about. Now here we are at the end of January and the update has been out a little bit, so sit back and check out our epilepsy-friendly review for Stars In The Trash. Instant Animated Classic Invoking feelings o...

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – PS5 Review

I don’t know about you guys but I found Dynasty Warriors 9 terrible with the open-world side of things. But KOEI TECMO seems to have changed their approach with the newest entry to the franchise Dynasty Warriors: Origins. I played the initial demo released prior to launch, and I really enjoyed the gameplay, so here’s hoping the full release is the same! The game has two versions available on PS5. One is the base game (costing £64.99) and the other is the digital deluxe. The deluxe nets you the soundtrack, 72-hour early access, letters, and the official art book. However, it will also set you back £79.99. Warning! Gifs used in this article might contain flashing imagery. Someone has to play mediator to the three kingdoms. I’ve played the Dynasty Warrior franchise since the good old o...

The Spirit of the Samurai – PC Review

Digital Minds Games have brought us The Spirit of the Samurai. A side-scrolling action platformer where we play Takeshi, a Samurai looking to defend his village from a looming evil. Out now on Steam for £16.99. I saw it all in a dream. The story begins with a young boy looking to meet a Kitsune. Once it appears, it tells us the story of a past samurai who once existed. The samurai in question was called Takeshi, and he could communicate with the spirits, who then tell him of the return of an ancient evil. This sets us up for our story. Gameplay Gameplay-wise, The Spirit of the Samurai is pretty straightforward. You have a sword which you can unlock various combos for. A bow for long range and some damaging consumables such as kunai. Upon slaying enemies you earn XP which, after...

Empire of The Ants – PC Review

Empire of The Ants has me assume control of a brave little ant as it helps its colony. Tackle the harsh world of mother nature in this new strategy game by Tower Five. The game is out now on Steam and goes for £34.99, while for another ten quid will land you the Deluxe Edition. In the deluxe you’ll get digital artwork, soundtrack, and wallpapers. We may be small, but we are many. Gameplay The ant is a scout with no name who is tasked with controlling your colonies’ units. Empire of The Ants isn’t an open-world but mission-focused. The first missions typically give you a rundown of the game mechanics. Not all the missions have you control units, however, some ask you to recover workers or scout areas. These missions I found a little dull compared to the combat-based ones. The nest...
