Video by Matt S. Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai was a surprise announcement indeed when Degica Games made it last week. The original has been kicking around on PS4 and PC for a while in Japan, but had only been released on PC in the west. Here I go hands-on with the…

Review by Priscilla M. Ubisoft welcomes you back to the insane Rabbid-inhabited world known as Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle with the new Donkey Kong Adventure expansion. This self-contained story is entirely separate from that of the main game with a range new weapons, enemies and some familiar faces. You…

News by Lindsay M. FuRyu has had my heart since The Legend of Legacy on 3DS, though the developer/publisher has been around for just over a decade. It appears as though the company has taken on a bit too much too quickly, as it has announced it will “temporarily suspend”…

Review: Rainbow Skies (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 29, 2018

eastasiasoft/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Rainbow Moon/Rainbow Skies/Reviews

Review by Matt S. It’s hard not to admire the purity with which Rainbow Skies, like Rainbow Moon before it, sticks to a particular vision. The developer wanted to create a grind of a JRPG, with a near complete focus on pushing through one battle after another, with only the…

News by Matt S. In this, the year of character crossover fighting games, one of the most ecclectic and yet fascinating is Blade Strangers. Featuring characters from the Umihara Kawase series, Code of Princess, Cave Story, Hollow Knight and The Binding of Isaac, it’s something of the misfits indie brawler,…

News by Matt S. Back in 2015, a game called Monstrum was released on PC. A survival horror game that sets players the goal of escaping an abandoned cargo ship, this one’s point of difference was that it was procedurally generated, with randomised level design that meant no two playthroughs…

News by Matt S. The dungeon crawler genre has had a surprising surge in support over the last couple of years, but there’s one in particular that has stood out as having done something really, genuinely interesting with the genre. That game is Compile Heart’s Mary Skelter: Nightmares; a game…

Review by Matt S. Here’s a big dirty secret: I like Paladins. I know I rant on about shooters plenty, but there’s plenty about them that I can find enjoyable. When the action doesn’t take itself too seriously, and there’s a good mix of interesting characters and fun levels, I…

PlayStation Plus lineup in July: Rating – not so bad!

News/PlayStation Plus/Sony PlayStation

News by Matt S. Ahhh, PlayStation Plus. The service that people just love to whine about, even though it gives them a monthly stream of new games to play, and a chance to play stuff they might not have otherwise. This month’s PlayStation Plus line-up is pretty decent, it must…
