Submarine Survivor review

After playing so many half-baked and downright lazy auto-shooters, all hoping to cash-in on Vampire Survivor’s success, it’s understandable why I approached Submarine Survivor with caution. It seems that developers are currently scrambling to base their survivor games on certain distinct themes before anyone else, paying little attention to trying to implement new ideas outside …

Fireball 2 review

Look back at the Xbox 360’s launch and you’ll notice the absence of a standout system seller. The line-up mostly consisted of spillovers from the original Xbox, such as Rare’s Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo: Elements of Power, along with multi-format games from EA and Activision. That’s unless you happen to take the first batch …

Revenge of the Savage Planet review

This follow-up to 2020’s Journey to the Savage Planet makes the bold decision to switch from first-person to third-person. The perspective used in the original brought about comparisons to Metroid Prime, whereas the switch to third-person makes this PS5/Xbox Series only sequel feel far more inspired. It’s saying something when you may be too taken …

Spellcaster University review

The premise for this academy management sim sets the tone perfectly. Every 254 years a demonic force rises and attempts to conquer a magical realm. After someone accidentally marked the wrong year on a calendar to highlight The Lord of Evil’s return, the fate of mankind is at stake. With only a few years left …

Blazing Trail review

Have you ever watched a trailer for an upcoming game that aligns with your tastes, only to notice a certain something which may harm its potential? Perhaps a racer where the AI appears far too aggressive or even passive, or maybe a modern day shoot’em up where enemy bullets blur into busy backdrops? Blazing Trail’s …

KIBORG review

Combat systems in arena brawlers, especially those pitting you against several enemies at once, tend to put gratification above technicality. Grab a baseball bat and swing for the fences, making blood spurt and enemies hit the ground hard. KIBORG presents similar grisly sights, only it’s clear from the outset that the technical side of things …
