Funko Fusion – PS5 Review

If you have never heard of Funko, then you must have been hiding under a rock. Funko are the brand responsible for bringing to life your favourite franchises, but in vinyl figure form. The lovable big heads on small bodies are great to have on the shelf, and more recently in your gaming library. Funko Fusion is the creation of 1010 Games which both developed and published the game. Everyone is a fan of something This review is purposefully vague, there is so much to find and discover during your playtime with Funko Fusion that it would be wrong of me to give away too much! Enjoy! Gameplay Aside from all the cool collaborations and fan favourites, you may be wondering what exactly Funko Fusion is about. It all boils down to the game’s villain. Eddy.

Melobot: A Last Song – PC Review

Melobot is a third person, story driven game from an eagle top down view released earlier this month. It was developed by Anomalie Studios and published by Microids. Melobot is available on Steam for £15.99. It is also available to play on the PS Store and Xbox. Melobot: The Last Song offers a unique perspective on a well-told story; nurture nature and protect the environment. I only really needed to play ten minutes of this game to know I'd fall in love with it. As someone who adores simplistic graphical designs with a powerful story behind it, this game holds my heart. Even its title is a prime example of juxtaposition. The combination of a futuristic and sentient robot paired with the beauty of music. Chef's kiss. You can tell I graduated in Literature.. A Mellow Melobot Meanders in...
