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...

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland – PC Review

When Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland was announced I immediately sensed the nostalgia. The 90s were a magical time, especially if you grew up glued to Nickelodeon, absorbing episodes of Rugrats like a sponge.

A platformer that marries retro 8-bit glory with HD polish, starring our favourite diapered heroes? Count me in! Published and developed by The MIX Games and Wallride, we covered the news about the release of Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland earlier this month. It is currently available digitally on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch. Smells like nostalgia Having spent time shuffling through the world of Gameland, I'm her...

Elsie – PC Review

Elsie is a rougelite, side scrolling, 2d platformer developed by Knight Shift Games and published by Playtonic Friends. I remember finding and playing the demo for Elsie during a recent Steam Nextfest event. At first I thought the game was going to be a Megaman clone.

These Guardians are powered by a limitless power supply known as the Archlight Core. Some time passes and the Guardians become corrupted.
