Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – PS5 Review

Thanks to the team at Purple Lamp, we see Disney’s Epic Mickey: Rebrushed returning on a new set of consoles and with a fresh coat of paint. Originally an exclusive for the Nintendo Wii, I missed my chance to play it first time round, so I’ll be going in blind for this one. The game launched on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Steam and PlayStation today, 23rd September. Epic tales are told in many art forms. I own Epic Mickey 2: Power of Two on PlayStation 3. But never dived into it due to not originally playing the previous entry. I do enjoy playing some of Disney’s more interesting properties when their characters are involved, aka when they add dark undertones to their games. Making them seem more mature. The best example I can think of is the Kingdom Heart franchise, with the themes of da...

Caravan SandWitch – Switch Review

The Caravan SandWitch is an indie adventure game that was released for PC, PlayStation, and Switch on the 12th September 2024. Developed by French studio Plane Toast, and published by Dear Villagers. Caravan SandWitch’s gentle approach to exploration, beautiful world, and mysterious plot draw players into a sweet experience - even if the Switch sometimes struggles to keep up. Caravan SandWitch – A Cosy Drive Across the Dunes I started playing Caravan SandWitch as a particularly grey weekend set in over Southern England.

If you’ve driven your van across the sands in Caravan SandWitch tell us your thoughts in the comm...
