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). Set in the fictional city of Norvik in an original setting with a rich world of lore and history. An explosion at a local tea shop ignites the story as a political conspiracy unfolds. And in a world full of monsters and magic, finding the culprit won't be easy. Ragn is thrown this hot potato and has five days to solve the mystery before the city's first democratic election. Esoteric Ebb is a blend of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and Disco Elysium mixed with stylised graphics. The game was intriguing from the start, and you find out for yourself as it's out now on PC.

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...

Nioh 3 – PS5 Review

Here I am checking out the latest release by Team Ninja, Nioh 3. So expect to be fending off infamous Yokai, all while aiding lords and being friends to spirits. I've been enjoying the Nioh games since the first, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the devs have cooked up this time. Maybe some influence from their other titles like, Rise of Ronin, or Wo Long, Who knows, but I am up for it. You are able to purchase the game on PlayStation for £64.99 or pick up the Digital Deluxe Edition for £94.99. Which nets you a few extra goodies, and season pass. Finally, if you don't want to drop that amount on a game you aren't even sure you will like, then why not check out Nioh 3's demo here. Gifs used may contain flashing images. Time Is A Funny Thing, Sometimes You Just Get Sent Back. Ga...

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack – PS5 Review

Between 2019 and 2023, developer Gust released three games in the Atelier Ryza series. A trilogy that many believe really popularised the almost three-decade-old franchise. Now, Gust have compiled all three games into Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack! Each game, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX, and Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX includes lots of added content and all previously released DLC. Sounds like a bit of a big collection, right? This review will be using the PlayStation 5 version, which is available for purchase now! The bundle pack, priced at £73.99, contains all three titles for both PS4 and 5. Alternatively, you're able to purchase each separately at £32.99. R...
