Coffee Talk: Tokyo – PS5 Review

They say good things come in threes: The Musketeers, primary colours and Egyptian God cards to name a few. So when I heard that Toge Productions had teamed up with Chorus Worldwide for a third entry in the cosy late-night conversations experience that is the Coffee Talk series, I was ready. This time, the series swaps Seattle for Tokyo, trading the American midwest for the bright lights of one of the busiest cities in the world. Coffee Talk: Tokyo launches on 21st May 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and Steam for a reasonable £12.99. So, does this latest blend hit the spot like a perfectly brewed espresso, or is it about as appealing as Monkey Spit Coffee? A Place to Venti The core premise of Coffee Talk: Tokyo stays true to previous entries as each evening, you serve drinks and...

The House of Hikmah – PC Review

 Have you ever played a video game inspired by the golden age of Arabic scientific and cultural development? Would you like to? The House of Hikmah is a 3D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Lunacy Studios, in their grand debut. Lunacy is an interesting studio: an independent, fully-remote, junior-built team dedicated to making diverse, narrative-heavy stories. Will Lunacy's ethically-sourced games nudge out a healthy space in a crowded market that can't even support Fortnite? Well, based on the experience I, a pasty white boy who is most certainly not part of the target audience, had with it, I believe they can. The House of Hikmah is a short, comfortable, well-crafted experience, like drinking a bowl of homemade soup. But what makes it so satisfying? The Key To Success ...

Lost and Found Co. – PC Review

Hidden object games have had a big resurgence in the last few years, from the simplistic to the multi-layered. Lost and Found Co. manages to be both. A cosy Where’s Wally?-style spot-a-thon from Bit Egg Inc., sees the past and present collide on various levels in a wholesome adventure. The ancient goddess of war, Mei Long, suffers from dwindling faith, with fewer and fewer visitors to her shrine every day. What's worse, a shadowy yet up-and-coming corporate figure seems to be involved. With the help of duckling-turned-young-boy Ducky and the questionable merchant Kit, Mei must renew people's faith by finding lost valuables. All while being stuck in cute, tiny dragon form. A Throwback With Bells & Whistles On Back in the mid-2000s, three things were certain about me. I was determined ...
