Save The Ninja Clan Review – Ninja Gore Fest

Save The Ninja Clan is the latest release from Developer Willz and Publisher Sometimes You, it is a challenging 2D side scrolling platformer released on PS4, Xbox One and PC. I'm sure most of us can agree that the general reason we all game is that we like to experience the thrills and excitement of things that in truth could never happen to us in the real world, we like to feel we are super-human to a degree, hunting down villains, killing hordes of monsters/zombies, or even playing as the number 1 striker for our favourite football team. Well Rebellion takes those ideas and thoughts then proceeds to crush them without mercy. This game is truly designed to make you realize that you are not super-human in any way and it wants to beat you into submission, doesn't that sound fun? Well tha...

Puzzle Showdown 4K Review – Pass Me My Pipe & Slippers?

Puzzle Showdown 4K developed by Kingdom Games (the devs behind the "Five" series on Steam) and published by 70 Times 7 LLC is a jigsaw based puzzle game that is available both on the Playstation store and Steam.  I must admit that when I was asked to review a jigsaw game I really thought it was going to be some horror/survival type featuring the well known doll from the Saw series.  How wrong was I!!  Instead of blood and all manners of fiendish traps I was faced with a family friendly jigsaw puzzle based game in which I am to try and piece together aesthetically pleasing 4K wallpapers on my screen. Gameplay Ok, so my first reaction as I sit infront of the PS4 Pro is "really?"  I remember playing similar games in the past on a Nintendo DS and that was only when I was really bored.  C...

Serial Cleaner Review – The Ron Jeremy Moustache Is Back!

Created by Polish developer iFunforAll and published by Curve Digital, Serial Cleaner undoubtedly takes some inspiration from Hotline Miami with its top-down viewpoint, retro art-style and 70’s beats, but instead of carrying out the carnage you’re cleaning up after it! Serial Cleaner is a story-driven, fast-paced stealth/action game, characterized by a 1970s theme and aesthetics. The protagonist cleans up murder scenes by disposing bodies, covering up blood stains and hiding murder weapons and other incriminating evidence. Exploring, experimenting and fast paced decision making are the key words here. Getting caught and questioned would put a black mark on the protagonist’s career and the environment is often crawling with itchy-fingered police officers accompanied by nosy bystanders. T...

Induction Review – Mind Altering Puzzle Perception

Induction is an indie game that centres on using time travel to create time loops, in order to solve mind bending puzzles. Whilst this concept will be familiar to fans of Valves series Portal, it is used in different ways to great effect in Induction, and has caused me to ponder the solution to puzzles for days on end. You take control of a cube and can move in 4 different directions to push objects around and reach the goal area of that level which appears surprisingly easy at first. However you are swiftly introduced to the key ability of this cube, which is the power to create one clone of your cube that will then play out every action you have performed up to the point you made a clone. The aim then is to manipulate a variety of objects across multiple timelines to proceed into the ...
