Ultimate Zombie Defense – PC Review

Ultimate Zombie Defense is a nice casual action twin-stick shooter made and published by the small team at Terror Dog Studios. Some team members have even worked on well-known games, like Warhammer 40K and Total War titles. It is available to purchase now for £3.99, alongside a carnival map DLC for £1.99 on Steam. Defend against the oncoming hordes! I remember playing an old flash computer game called Boxhead with my friend, and Ultimate Zombie Defense reminds me of that. I enjoy getting to higher rounds and trying different guns and strategies. Who doesn't love causally fighting waves of zombies and trying to beat their own high score? Gameplay Players will get to select from four classes (Heavy, Medic, Specialist, and Engineer), each with their own skill tree. Classes are levelle...

Battle Axe – PS5 Review

Developed by Henk Nieborg and Bitmap Bureau Ltd we have Battle Axe. The nostalgic-styled hack-n' slash was originally released in 2021 with Q4 2022 release for the Playstation 5 Special edition. Mercia Will Not Rest! So join me as I jump into Mercia with my trusty character on my journey to Etheldred's lair! If you haven't already make sure you also check out our review of Final Vendetta!

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – PC Review

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the latest offering from game developers Fatshark released on 30th November 2022. The devs have had success previously with best-selling and award-winning Vermintide. Here however you are flung into a dystopian world full of corruption and war. The game sees you take the role of a repurposed prison escapee thrown into serving the army, who are fighting off a heretical cult known as the Admonition. STOP.....HAMMER TIME! Warhammer 40,000: Darktide's main feature is teaming up with others to work together in a multiplayer co-op style of gameplay. I find myself gravitating towards this style of gameplay. I love where games feature a more co-op style of gameplay as opposed to the PVP games such as Warzone. Do you enjoy co-op games like this? If so, leave a commen...

Death Squared – Switch Review

Developed by SMG Studio, Death Squared is a fun multiplayer puzzle game that puts up to 4 players in control of cute robotic cubes to solve individual test rooms. Published in 2017, this game came to my attention when I was looking for a cooperative game to enjoy with my wife. After many hours of joyful and successful puzzle completions – and possibly some accidental and vengeful friendly fire – I am happy to be able to review my ongoing experience. While I am playing it on the Switch, Death Squared is also available on Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS and Android. Death Squared - Try Not to Die! Death Squared presents players with individual puzzle levels, reminiscent of Portal testing rooms, where players have to cooperate and coordinate their cube-shaped robots (often with chicken ...

From Space – PC Review

From Space is a top-down co-op action shooter that can be played solo or with up to four friends. This sci-fi adventure is by Triangle Studios (It Came from Space and Ate Our Brains) and brought to us by Curve Games (Autonauts vs Piratebots, Embr, I Am Fish). It is available on PC via Steam and on Switch as of November 3rd! Aliens Have Invaded in From Space! Alien invasions seem to be a popular genre in all types of entertainment media. I'd reckon they rank up there along the lines of Zombies and Post-Apocalyptic themes, which also tend to go hand in hand. Though the overall theme itself feels outdone at times, it's nice to look at a game like From Space and think, "Hey that looks different... could be interesting." What about you reader? Are there certain genres or themes in games or ot...

Gotham Knights – PS5 Review

Gotham Knights is an open-world action RPG from developer Warner Bros. Games Montréal & publisher Warner Bros. Much like the Arkham series we see these caped crusaders fighting crime across Gotham while contending with supervillains, criminals and police alike. Based on DC's Batman: Gotham Knights comic series it is a fresh take on a Batman video game with characters we know and love or love to hate. There is some controversy around the game with Batgirl's in-game bio. In this Gotham, The Killing Joke is canon including Barbara Gordon being paralysed and becoming Oracle. The in-game bio states she overcame this with hard work which has offended the non-able-bodied community. The news that Gotham Knights wouldn't be released on PS4 and Xbox One will be upsetting for gamers who haven'...

The Last Oricru – PS5 Review

Games are hard to make. Successful games are even harder to make. The amazing medium that gaming is has transitioned from one man teams where the programmer of the game made everything, to teams of devs with roles that include artists, sound designers, level designers, environment artists, animators, writers, directors and producers (to name but a few). The Last Oricru is an ambitious undertaking as the first release for developer GoldKnights. Respect the Ratvolution The Czech based studio built the game with a fairly small team for the scope of this 3rd person action RPG. Played here on PS5 the game is also available on Xbox Series X|S and Steam. Gameplay With no recollection of the past, players assume the roll of Silver who is dropped into the middle of a conflict between two fac...
