PLAYISM will be publishing 34EVERLAST – a ten-minute “super condensed” action game that’s “specially designed for busy working adults.” This Unreal Engine powered affair sees the world ending…only, you’re somehow caught in a loop. It mixes combat, action adventure, boss battles, and escape room sensibility to create something with 30+ routes to find and explore …
The original Fight Crab is a game we’ve been wanting to try for a while, but have never found the opportunity to. We’d best hurry as a sequel has just been announced. Or we could just wait for that, we guess. The concept is pleasingly simple – giant crabs duke it out, clutching all manner …
GameMill’s winter line-up is looking quite busy, with Skull Island: Rise of Kong, Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance, NASCAR Arcade Rush, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 due. Now we can add The Walking Dead: Destinies to that last. Ah, licensed games. It’s enough to remind us of the olden days. The Walking Dead: …
Goose Byte’s debut title sees humanity take to the skies to find a new home. By combining exploration, invention, and survival, it hopes to move the multiplayer open world genre forward – a bold claim. Powered by the uber-flashy Unreal Engine 5, The Signal is said to be an accessible affair, offering a new recipe-sharing …
Developers certainly have their work cut out when it comes to bringing complex strategic games to consoles. A PC set-up offers the luxury of a keyboard and mouse with hotkeys, shortcuts, intuitive mouse scrolling, and more. Reconfiguring a multitude of button inputs to a joypad can be a tricky, but not impossible, task. Gord’s developers …
We’ve been here before. No, not the fact that Dust & Neon is a former Switch exclusive making its way to new formats, but rather the concept of robots in the wild west. Both 1994’s Wild Guns and the popular SteamWorld series use this premise, along with the occasional episode of Futurama – all of …
News of Red Dead Redemption gaining a re-release hasn’t exactly filled the gaming community with glee, especially after rumours of a full-on remake. But considering the Switch version brings portability, and the fact that RDR has never graced a Nintendo platform before, the proposition here is a tad more appealing than on PS4. The £40 …
Polish developer Purple Ray Studio is pulling no punches with their debut title – Boti: Byteland Overclocked is a lavish-looking 3D platformer with drop-in co-op play. Set in Byteland, data bot Boti is tasked with saving the cyber-landscape from bugs and viruses – with his floating companions, One & Zero, helping. Boti is able to …
For a second week running LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the UK’s no.1 in both the all formats retail chart and the PS5 top twenty. World Cup fever helps FIFA 23 stay at #2 for a second week, with the evergreen Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remaining at #3. Potential GOTY candidate Zelda: Tears …
By 2003 the PlayStation 2 had been available for three years – successfully establishing itself as the must-have console for that generation. The writing had been on the wall for the humble PSone for some time, and come January 2003, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe released their last major title for the long-serving 32-bit system, publishing …
Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption remake have swirled for some time, so it does seem just that news of a straightforward re-release – priced at £40 – has irked Rockstar fans. While it does feature the Undead Nightmare DLC, it’s lacking the multiplayer component. There’s no native Xbox version either, although this is less …
Who hosts an announcement-filled showcase late on Friday night, just as journos are settling down for the weekend? THQ Nordic, that’s who. The ever-growing publisher revealed a handful of new games during last night’s digital showcase, along with fresh trailers for Gothic Remake, Outcast – A New Beginning, TRINE 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy, ALONE IN THE …
Ahead of this weekend’s Quakecon, Bethesda has released an “authentic, enhanced, and complete” version of Quake II onto the digital storefronts – including PSN and the Switch eShop. It’s available for £7.99, or as part of Xbox Game Pass. Calling it a “complete” package is no exaggeration – it even includes the N64 version of …
Remember publisher ININ’s claim that Parasol Stars news was imminent? Well, today is the day. The 2005 Taito arcade game Spica Adventure – originally released in Japan only – is set to gain a console re-release early next year, with physical releases available to pre-order in November. While not a direct sequel to Parasol Stars, this …
It has been said that Xbox Game Pass is the Netflix of gaming. That certainly rings true with Venba – also available on PC, PS4, and Switch – with this being a short narrative-driven affair with a runtime of a typical movie. It even resembles a contemporary animated Netflix film, featuring a bold and heavily …
