The free-flowing biker delivery game Parcel Corps looks like something SEGA may have signed onto. Publisher Secret Mode has seemingly taken a shine to it instead. Developed by Billy Goat Entertainment, it sees you sign a contract with one of three courier corporations and start a new career as a freelance bicycle messenger. The remaining …
Publisher tinyBuild has signed the debut title from OMYOG – a dinosaur-filled first-person shooter inspired by Crysis, set on a dense jungle island. FEROCIOUS, as it’s known, is powered by the Unity engine and has been designed using a mixture of hand-crafted and photo-sourced assets. Foliage is destructible, trees physics-based, and the island’s shores feature …
Despite packing a critically acclaimed punch, Street Fighter 6 couldn’t dethrone Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom last week. Diablo IV has managed it though – and it’s also no.1 in the PS5 and Xbox Series charts. The hellish top-down RPG wasn’t able to top the PS4 chart, however, where Hogwarts Legacy still rules the roost. …
Long Way Home – a studio formed of UK industry veterans, with past works including Mass Effect Trilogy, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Days Gone – are teaming with PQube to create the futuristic racing RPG RESISTOR. Set in 2060, it sees the world split into self-contained cities ruled by corporations. Every year, a “competitive …
Saber’s Swarm Engine is about to live up to its name once more, used to power John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando – a ‘buddy movie’ style first-person shooter with legions of undead folk to kill. Judging by the trailer alone, John Carpenter fully understood his assignment – to create something fun and frenzied. “Look, I really like …
A new Sonic game is due out this year, and it’s something you may not be expecting. Sorry, Sonic Mania 2 hopefuls – looks like you’ll be waiting longer. Sonic Superstars is a side-scrolling 3D adventure with solo and drop-in co-op play, with up to four players taking control of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy …
Critics aren’t too englamoured by the Switch’s latest RPG – Loop8: Summer of Gods, also available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC this week. Set eight months after a humanity-threatening event, it involves relocating to Ashihara to forge new relationships – with AI controlling NPC’s emotions, which in turn impacts the story. Most critics claimed …
When we covered news of Enclave HD last June, we didn’t think it would take another full year to arrive. But then, what do we know about game development? Well, other than it can be difficult. Retro specialists Ziggurat Interactive have confirmed that Enclave HD – under license from TopWave – will launch June 29th on …
In this day and age, where something with a glitzy action-packed trailer might merely be a cover for a slow and complex deck building RPG, it pays to know what you’re getting into. This is especially the case for SENSEs: Midnight. It’s a survival horror adventure inspired by the 32-bit era, complete with tank controls, …
The easiest thing to admire about the Evercade range is how carefully curated each collection feels. The majority feature a well-known hit (consequently giving the packaging a cover star), along with a few lesser-known games – some of which can be considered hidden gems – and a couple of curios such as a puzzle game …
Not even the might of Street Fighter 6 – with its near universal acclaim, and reports of 1m sales already worldwide – can stop Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Capcom’s latest brawler had to settle for #2 in the UK retail chart, with Zelda claiming a fourth consecutive no.1. It’s difficult to say if Diablo …
Nightdive Studios has made the bold promise that the upcoming retro FPS re-release Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition will be “more than a faithful recreation.” How will this be achieved? Quite simply, it is the original version – it runs on Nightdive’s proprietary KEX engine but was built with the original’s source code. This …
This latest Raiden re-release takes us back to the PlayStation 2 era, reviving 2005’s Raiden III. Just like Raiden IV, re-released a few months ago, the original version will set you back a pretty penny these days, with eBay suggesting a good-condition copy will run you close to £100. Again, this makes this re-release more …
If social media chatter is to be believed, Diablo IV is about to become a new obsession for many. Reviews went live last week and were full of praise, with many critics claiming that it’s Blizzard’s magnum opus. Some critics, however, were cautious about incoming microtransactions, hoping that it doesn’t merely become a vehicle for …
Rich attempted to review the Switch version of Aquarist last November, but despite best efforts, couldn’t make much progress. The iffy controls, awkward camera movement, and poor presentation let down what should have been a relaxing experience. The developers had, somehow, made a game involving setting up aquariums frustrating to play. The simulation has now …
