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. As clouds rolled in and rain beat down on my roof, I rode across deserts inspired by Provence, and uncovered mysteries that hooked me. So, let’s take a closer look at why. If you’ve driven your van across the sands in Caravan SandWitch tell us your thoughts in the comm...

The Casting of Frank Stone – PS5 Review

The Casting of Frank Stone takes the universe of Dead by Daylight (with original story) and turns it into the interactive storytelling style that I know and love from Supermassive Games. There are two versions of the game, standard (£32.99) and deluxe (£39.99). The deluxe version includes instant access to the “Cutting Room Floor” and some additional outfits. Honestly, I prefer playing the killer myself. Now, I’m not such a fan of the actual gameplay style of Dead by Daylight, but I enjoy the lore it has. That’s why I was happy to see The Casting of Frank Stone in this kind of gameplay style. I have played a good few of Supermassive Games previous titles, such as Until Dawn, Dark Pictures series and The Quarry. All fantastic games in my opinion. I’m really hoping the The Casting of F...

Vampire Survivors – PS5 Review

Vampire Survivors is a 2022 roguelike shoot'em up game developed and published by Luca Glanace. The game has been so popular that Glanace went on to found 25 person strong studio Poncle, who work solely on the game. Vampire Survivors is initially set in Italy, where hordes of monsters have been summoned by the face of the game, our very own evil Bisconte Draculó. Which very closely resembles the tale of Count Dracula. He has set monsters upon the land to ravage. The Belpaese family and other heroic survivors take it upon themselves to hunt down and defeat Draculó. The later introduced DLCs include more heroes, more locations and even more chaotic fun than before! The game had been in an early access period from December 2021 and has now finally hit the PlayStation storefront. After a lo...
