NITRO GEN OMEGA – PS5 Review

Giant mechs will always have a place in my heart. No matter the medium, mechs are inherently cool. That's why I was very excited to get my hands on NITRO GEN OMEGA. This slick, anime-inspired title has you take control of your own customisable crew of mech pilots in a post-apocalyptic world. Developed by DESTINYbit, this stylish tactical RPG looks like it could be something special. Is that the case, though? It certainly looks the part, but is there enough substance here to match the impressive visuals? NITRO GEN OMEGA is out right now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. NITRO GEN OMEGA: Style and Substance! AI has overrun the world. Humanity is barely surviving. Sounds eerily familiar so far... Survivors ...

Deadhaus Sonata – PC Early Access

Deadhaus Sonata is a new title from someone who worked on Legacy of Kain and Too Human. In this game we will be assuming a role of an undead vampire that will bring terror and fear to the world. The game is now out and begins its early access life on Steam for just £16.75. I personally haven't played any of his previous work, so I won't know if there are any nods to his other games. But maybe check out our reviews for some of the Legacy of Kain releases. Bring terror to a new land. Gameplay Deadhaus Sonata, throws you into the tutorial after a small screen of dialogue. There is not much in the way of story-telling from what I could see, rather most information is placed in lore stones. These are green obelisks found in the world and the hub. In the hub I could do a couple of things; e...

Starfield – PS5 Review

As an avid space lover and someone who was relentlessly checking in daily on the Artemis 2 mission, Starfield on the PS5 surely did launch at the perfect time for me to return to. Houston We Have A Problem I first rocketed myself (no more space puns now, I promise) into the world of Starfield back in 2023, and sadly, it’s hard to say right now that the PS5 port has successfully stuck the landing. It looks gorgeous, sure, and playing on a PS5 Pro means you can max out the frame rate, but even with all of this at my disposal and decent-sized patches from Bethesda themselves, I still found Starfield quite tedious to play through as a result of frequent frame drops and game crashes. If you’ve not yet played Starfield, it’s very much like most Bethesda titles. You’re the chosen one, you s...

Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi Switch Review

Kazuma Kaneko's Tsukuyomi is a Rouge-like, Tabletop, RPG from COLOPL Inc. A revised version of Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter that was released on May 6th 2025. Updating a few bit from the original from a larger story, one new character, a better interface and fixing the card effects in battles. For some, people who came to play this game because Kazuma Kaneko's name is on the game. Which for those who don't know, he's the original artist for the demons in the Megami Tensei series. But let's get to the bottom of this case. However, don't be surprised when we get to discussing the art portion of the review. Slaying the Spire II has prepared me for this game a bit too much. What does it mean to be a Tsukuyomi We start off playing as Tsukuyomi of Izayoi appearing in the Hashira. This co...

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection PC Review

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (MHS3) is an Adventure RPG from the company making bangers for 2026, Capcom. As the number shows, this is the third installment to the Monster Hunter Stories. The story of the game takes place 200 years after the events in MHS2. Now, since I got to play the second entry, I can tell the major improvements to this current game. So, without further ado, let's start the review and get some Monsties. When you need eggs, courage and an understanding of how rock-paper-scissors works, you too can hunt Monsties. Gameplay MHS3 begins with a slightly generous character customization screen. What? You thought I was going to start with the story? We'll get to that after this, don't worry. Now, I will say that Capcom gave a nice selection for customizing...

Esoteric Ebb – PC Review

Esoteric Ebb is a high-fantasy isometric open-world RPG, where you play as bumbling cleric Ragn. It is developer Christoffer Bodegård's debut game, published by Raw Fury (Blue Prince).

Celestial Return – PC Early Access Preview

There’s subtlety, and then there’s Celestial Return. Developed by Metaphor Games and published by Shoreline Games, this neon-soaked detective RPG doesn’t creep onto your screen so much as bleed into it. This doesn’t ease you into Netherveil City. It throws you in, neon-first. Coming to Steam, and currently running a Kickstarter. Celestial Return - Not quite a star Before we really get into Netherveil, I’m curious, are you the sort who clicks every dialogue branch just in case, or do you streamline towards objectives? Gameplay You play Detective Howard, a worn-out investigator armed with a rusted badge, a sentient rose that refuses to stay quiet, and a pocketful of dice that matter far more than you’d expect. Netherveil is a dying city. Suicides pile up. Corpses crawl. Conversations fra...

Under The Island – PS5 Review

If you're a gamer of a certain vintage, chances are you have fond memories of the '90s and early 2000s. From Alundra to the 2D Zelda titles, there were plenty of brilliant action RPGs during that era. With Under The Island, developer Slime King Games attempts to capture the magic that made these classics so memorable. Blending elements of modern and retro (are we calling the '90s retro now? I feel old...) games, Under The Island may well be a great debut for the developer. Can the gameplay match what is arguably a gorgeous-looking love letter to games gone by? Under The Island is out now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. With that said, let's get on with the review! Above, Around, and Under The Island! With...

Styx: Blades of Greed – PS5 Review

Styx: Blades of Greed is a third-person stealth-action RPG adventure developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon. The game is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, starting February 19th. Weaponized Goblin Mode In this third entry of the franchise, players return as Styx, a cunning goblin thief with a particular set of skills, including silently infiltrating castles, eluding enemies' sight, and executing hushed assassinations in a smart mix of stealth and strategy. Styx first appeared as the smaller half of a smash-and-stealth duo in Of Orcs and Men (2012). He was obviously the stealth portion of that tag team. Since then, the little green gobbo has continued his mischievous adventures by himself in Styx: Master of Shadows (2014) and Styx: Shards of Darkness (2017). No...

Mewgenics – PC Review

Do you love cats, do you love turn-base games?! If so, then from the mind that created The Binding of Isaac, The legend of Bumbo, and Gish, Comes Mewgenics. A game all about breeding felines ready for fighting. Aim to get the best of your little fur balls as you send them out into the world to cause hell. Expect various items, monsters, and jokes when it releases on Steam for £24.99 Make them babies!

Send cats out and beef them up and gain new skills/ passives. If they survive and once they return home - which you are able to do when reaching the end of a stage, they shall become retired and unable...
