Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan Review

Rainbow Billy is a colourful, wholesome, fun-packed game developed by ManaVoid Entertainment. It was originally a Kickstarter project back in May 2018 but has since won Ubisoft Indie Series Grand Prize and received funding from the Canada Media Fund. Looking back at the Kickstarter after having played the game it's easy to see where the extra time and funding have been used to improve the initial showing. The World of Imagination has fallen under a curse, cast by the monochromatic, evil Leviathan. The Leviathan is determined to make Billy and the rest of the world abandon their hopes and joys in favour of accepting a bleak reality. It's up to Billy, and their friends, to travel around the world, cheer everyone up and restore the colour. Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan - In A ...

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 Review

Developed by DOMO Studios, SOFTSTAR, DOMO Production, and published by Yooreka Studio and EastSoftAsia. Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is an action roleplaying game that is rooted deep in Chinese history and mythology. Xuan Yuan Sword 7 - Sun Tzu Would Be Proud The fact that the Xuan Yuan Sword series has been around for 30 years and I've never heard of it has blown my mind. With this instalment being the first one to hit the west. I'm sure there will be many more fans of the franchise because it just seemed to be overshadowed by other RPG juggernauts like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Maybe it's time for this game to step out of the shadows. As usual, if y0u enjoyed this review then you can check out my latest one here.

Life Is Strange: True Colors – PS5 Review

I have long been a fan of the Life Is Strange series, as such I jumped at the chance to review the brand new title by Deck Nine True Colors. The series has always been episodic, except The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit which served as a prequel/story addition for Life Is Strange 2. Life Is Strange: True Colors is the first full title to be released in its entirety. Having this in mind I was really interested in how True Colors would fit the emotion into it. Will the choice to move away from episodic affect True Colors? Taking on the role of Alex Chen is an emotional rollercoaster. For those unfamiliar with the Life Is Strange series, strap in. If there is one thing that the series is good at, it's pulling at those heartstrings. True Colors continues the series style of a story-ba...

Kena: Bridge of Spirits Review

After numerous delays since its announcement in June 2020, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is finally here. You can be forgiven for looking at it and thinking it is reminiscent of a Pixar movie. That's because the developers and publishers, Ember Lab started life as an animation studio. You may recall a fan film based on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask called Terrible Fate? That was Ember Lab, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits is their first game. Kena: Bridge of Spirits - The Path of a Spirit Guide is a Lonely One Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a game developed and published by Ember Lab and was released as a timed console exclusive on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 21st, 2021. If you bought the PlayStation 4 version, then you will also be entitled to a free upgrade to PlayStati...

Sonic Colours Ultimate Review

Time and time again it has been said that Sonic's transition to 3D hasn't been as easy as, say, a certain plumber's. For that reason, I didn't even touch a 3D Sonic game until 2011 when Sonic Generations came out. It's also no secret that I am a HUGE Sonic fan and my heart lies in his heyday on the Sega Mega Drive and I didn't want anything taking that away from me. I really enjoyed Sonic Generations, but apparently, I've missed out by skipping the Sonic Adventure games on the Dreamcast. Given the reputation, I think it's acceptable to approach new 3D Sonic games with caution. Sonic Colours Ultimate - Is it Heads and 'Tails' Above the Rest? But Sonic Colours Ultimate isn't strictly a new Sonic game. It's a remaster of Sonic Colours which was released in 2010 exclusively on the Nintendo W...

Lost In Random Review
