Like a Dragon: Ishin! – PC Review

This one is kind of a special one for me. Before the pandemic, I had never played any Yakuza/Like a Dragon titles. I played through most of them during the pandemic and Kamurocho became a somewhat home away from home. I was heavily invested in the internal conflicts and power struggles of the Tojo Clans' top brass. In some of the most isolated moments of the lockdown, I could always count on a "Kiryu-chan!" to cheer me up. So when the opportunity to take a look at Like a Dragon: Ishin! arose, I just had to jump at it! Today we'll be looking at the PC version, which costs £54.99/$59.99 on Steam at the time of writing. It will require 60GB of space. All Around Me are Familiar Faces! When I told a friend I was taking a look at Like a Dragon: Ishin! they asked: "does it involve time t...

Zombie Admin – PC Review

Zombie Admin is an Indie Action Game from Hastily Assembled. This team has brought you titles such as Time Loop Traffic, A Hero's Fudging Quest, Deadline of the dead and many other titles. I will be honest I haven't heard of them or seen the other games they have done, however I am one for games with a Comedic twist. Zombie Admin was released January 18th 2023 on Steam and isn't a bad price at £3.39. Definitely love a good bargain! So Zombie Admin is a Standalone game, and is the first of its own series, it features a charming top down point and shoot, Run and Gun style. I will go into that more below. Here is the charming little Description for the game on steam: "It's the zombie apocalypse, but you can't miss a work day! Scavenge for weapons, survive... and don't forget to resto...

Hi-Fi Rush – PC Review

Coming from Japanese developer Tango Gameworks and American publisher Bethesda, don't miss a beat with Hi-Fi Rush. Hi-Fi Rush threw us all for a loop when it was shadow-dropped on 25th Jan. Available for Xbox Series X|S and PC, today we'll be looking at the PC version. Hi-Fi Rush is included with Gamepass and will require 20GB of space. For those who wish to purchase it, it will cost £29.99/$29.99 on the Microsoft Store. All of your trebles are dead and gone! Hi-Fi Rush was a massive departure for developer Tango Gameworks who are usually known for their more spooky titles, such as The Evil Within and Ghostwire Tokyo. All things considered, the question has to be asked why they didn't do it sooner. Seriously, this game is brilliant! At this point, the combat rhythm game isn't a...

A Space For The Unbound – PC Review

Emotive sojourns are widespread in the indie scene, even beginning to become more prevalent in AAA territory. But rarely do they shed light on a relatively unknown region, be deeply relatable and also mind-bogglingly engrossing all at once. A Space For The Unbound by Mojiken Studio is a side-scrolling pixel art adventure that is both a warm, familiar embrace and a propulsion into a vortex of raw, all-encompassing emotion. Set in a fictional rural Indonesian town in the ‘90s, you play as protagonist Atma, journeying through high school life with his sweetheart Raya. But humdrum everyday life soon becomes anything but humdrum. Both possess supernatural abilities, Atma is troubled by dreams that feel familiar and a mysterious force threatens their very existence. What follows is a journey ...

Clunky Hero – Playstation 4 Review

Clunky Hero is the latest wacky platform hit from Estonian Developer Chaos Monger Studio. Combining platforming, Metroidvania, and RPG elements with tons of humour. This offers a strong storyline that will appeal to gamers who enjoy platformers. It's a fun game where you can talk to characters, do side quests, buy and sell items, and swap weapons and accessories, all the whilst laughing at itself. When You Order Armor From Wish Clunky Hero appealed to me when I first saw the trailer. Its story just sounded utterly bonkers and the narration tied everything into a lovely parcel. Available for both PC and Consoles (Playstation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox) Gameplay A 2D platformer that sets out the story straight away, your wife has been kidnapped and turned into some "duck-faced woman" ...

Necroboy: Path to Evilship – PC Review

Chillin' Wolf bring us the slightly odd adventure of a certain NecroBoy on his Path to Evilship in the cunningly titled NecroBoy: Path to Evilship. Whilst newly arrived on my desk, it has indeed been out since October 2022, in fact it was released rather aptly for Halloween. Kudos to Gravity Game Arise Co for a little creative marketing. Not entirely sure how to prepare for my upcoming journey, but I do have my pentagram and Mary Shelley reference book. Time to raise the dead and a little bit of hell as well. NecroBoy: Path to Evilship - Hellishly Good, or just plain Hellish? Gameplay NecroBoy: Path to Evilship is a brain game, thinking is the way forward. You get to control NecroBoy throughout the many crypts as he delves deeper into the journey to take the title of NecroMan. Movemen...

Lil Gator Game – Switch Review

Every now and again a game is released that I completely underestimate at first glance. I’m not sure if it’s down to some residual peer pressure in my head. Sometimes, in my imagination, I have the critical eyes of certain friends looming over my shoulder when I start up a game. So if the game is a little too colourful and happy-looking then my own fickle decision-making weakens and prostrates itself to my friends’ illusionary judgement. I looked at the pictures and announcement video of Lil Gator Game and thought on some level that it wasn’t necessarily for me. I wanted something a little less whimsical. But I was wrong. It’s difficult to realise without playing it, but Lil Gator Game is a triumph. It’s one of those games with a universal appeal—like Donut County, or Katamari Damacy. And,...

MEGALAN 11 – Switch Review

Megalan 11 is an exploration puzzle title which is available across various platforms. Developed by Arkhipov Pavel and published by MAYO Games this game was originally released in 2020. 11 Day And Counting! With its release back in 2020 it's possible that some people missed it, especially console-only games. After all, they most likely wouldn't be checking the Steam store. After much love, it is finally here and we managed to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch version. Gameplay On loading the game, we are getting signals from a planet. A very orange planet, where we are looking to land. After many screams, the spaceship crash lands and this is where it all begins. The idea is that you have to escape the planet that you are stranded on by building and ensuring that your crew are surv...

Scrap Riders comes to us from Spanish developer Games For Tutti and is published by the French publisher Microids.

It’s the end of the world as we know it. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, surrounding a cyberpunk-styled city “Uber City”, Scrap Riders is a pixel art adventure game which combines beat ‘em up and point ‘n click style gameplay, a Monkey Island meets Streets of Rage if you will, to offer a fun and witty title. That is when it’s not beating you over the head with its references. You play as Rast, a member of the titular Scrap Riders. An outlaw biker gang of misfits. You sta...
