Ratalaika Games have, over the past few years, made a name for themselves in the Xbox and achievement hunting communities. Thanks largely in part to their cheap games and very easy completions. HellGunner, out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, is their latest offering. But it does come with a very minor caveat: unlike
Month: May 2022
Since 2018, Paratopic has been hidden away in the back of horror aficionados’ minds that played it on PC and Nintendo Switch: The kind of slow-burner game that lingers long in the mind after its completion. Now, home console gamers can finally experience it too, as Paratopic releases today on Xbox. Paratopic is an “experimental”
Whilst AAA games continue to get delayed left, right and centre this is *checks notes* the third Aery game to release in 2022 already. Aery – A New Frontier is out today on Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t played an Aery game before, the concept is very simple. You control a bird
Sam Raimi seems to be doing alright for himself at the moment; he’s brought a dash of horror to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and his Evil Dead baby is today launching a videogame. The aptly named Evil Dead: The Game is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and
Crossovers in fighting games is no new thing: Soul Calibur has had the likes of Darth Vader, Yoda and Link pop up in previous iterations and Akuma from Street Fighter popped up in Tekken 7. So to have Fatal Fury characters announced for The King of Fighters XV shouldn’t cause any surprise, but the question
Over the many decades that I’ve been gaming, I’ve taken in a whole host of shoot ‘em ups. Fixed screens have come and gone, side scrollers have ruled the universe and vertical scrolling flyers have continued to draw us back; the latter of which saw optimum gaming goodness reached with the launches of Sky Force
The humble brick breaker; chances are that most game developers will have created some form of a brick breaker during their career. The simplicity of them is only overshadowed by their fun. And the developers at EntwicklerX clearly must be enjoying creating them, as Radon Break isn’t their first brick breaker. Find out how this
Inspector Redfern, the lead character of RICO London, clearly isn’t the fun-loving sort. It’s New Year’s Eve 1999, and rather than take advice from Prince and ‘party like she’s out of time’, she’s headed to a tower block to disrupt an arms deal, against direct orders from her superior. She’s working her way up the
It’s not an auspicious start. Chefy-Chef sounds like it’s been named by the same people who voted for Boaty McBoatface. It’s published by Ratalaika, who don’t often punch above a 3.5/5, and it costs less than a large popcorn at the cinema (we live in an expensive area). Not that price should matter, but you
eFootball – Konami’s rebrand of the long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series – could have signaled a bright new beginning for football games. Shifting to the more modern Unreal Engine 4 and ditching annual full-priced games for a free-to-play model with promises of sizeable content additions and a “pay for what you want” structure felt like
Plenty has already been said about why 2013’s The Stanley Parable is so phenomenal – so much, in fact, that one section of 2022’s The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a literal shrine to all of the praise and accolades that have been deservedly heaped upon it. To prattle on further about how it cleverly
Back in 2013, the original Rogue Legacy added a revolutionary twist to the standard roguelike formula: Instead of losing everything upon death, you’re able to spend your currency on permanent upgrades that make each successive run just a little bit easier. This kickstarted an entire subgenre called roguelites, which now includes such incredible games as
If you’re a fan of classic samurai movies, there’s a lot to love about Trek to Yomi. It’s a katana-swiping side-scroller with a worthwhile story that does a magnificent job of distilling old school Japanese cinema into video game form. But while it never stopped blowing me away aesthetically, the things you’re actually doing in
I’ve never seen a small spin-off game meet my expectations this comprehensively before. Fun, short-lived, slightly repetitive, yet leaving me interested to know more, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was exactly how I pictured it. Releasing a companion game before the main game – in this case the upcoming Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, is certainly an unusual
There’s no denying that Genshin Impact has been a huge success story for miHoYo and they have now lifted the lid on their new project which is best described as a urban fantasy action RPG. The new free-to-play game is titled Zenless Zone Zero and will launch first on PC, iOS, and Android, with more platforms
Microids have confirmed that they will be publishing the impressive looking F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch on the Nintendo Switch.

Microids has also stated that F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow
The latest video game software and hardware sales figures are in from the USA, courtesy of the NPD Group.

SEGA has published its results for results for the fiscal year ending March 2022 and has announced that it’s hoping to boost profits in 2022 and 2023. The reason SEGA is forecasting even higher numbers for FY2023 is due to a significant increase is new games, remasters and remakes, which should please fans. We’ve already
There is just a little more than a month remaining before Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch. A bunch of characters will be seen in the game, so it’s no surprise that Nintendo wanted to shine a spotlight on some of them. For example, Nintendo has released new gameplay
Balan Wonderworld creator Yuji Naka recently confirmed that the reason he couldn’t talk about the 3D platforming mess that is Balan Wonderworld is because he had taken Square Enix to court for unfair dismissal after they removed him as the game’s director resulting in a unfinished product being shipped to consumers. Square Enix has now
One classic Nintendo franchise which fans have been clamouring for a new entry in the F-Zero franchise. The last proper F-Zero game we got was F-Zero GX on the GameCube system.

Tantalus are the development studio which brought over the beloved The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to the Wii U console and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to the Switch family of systems.

Syberia: The World Before is currently available on PC with console versions coming at a later date this year. The news was confirmed by Syberia director and lead writer Lucas Lagravette in a recent edition
There’s a new gameplay trailer for the very cool looking Soulstice, which also confirms an autumn release window. Italian studio Modus Games has shown off a roughly 11 minute long look at the action adventure game Soulstice, which has some very strong Devil May Cry vibes. The game stars a pair of sisters, Briar and
PUBG Mobile is currently featuring a crossover with the classic 90s anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, apparently. In a world where Fortnite dominates the battle royale world by featuring crossovers with the biggest western franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, PUBG Mobile has taken a different approach with a collaboration with the mecha anime Neon Genesis
Netflix has released a pair of trailers giving us our first proper look at its upcoming live-action Resident Evil series.

The creators of Genshin Impact have revealed its latest game, Zenless Zone Zero, a ridiculously stylish roguelike with a modern setting. On Friday (May 13), HoYoverse gave us a first look at the studio’s next game, Zenless Zone Zero, an “urban fantasy ARPG”. Right off the bat the game looks like it’s going to have
The name “Gunbrella” might already tell you everything you need to know about Gunbrella, a game in which you wield a gun which is also an umbrella. Announced this past week, it’s a 2D “noir-punk” action game published by Devolver, about floating like Mary Poppins and stinging like, I dunno, a shotgun. You can find
Another Crab’s Treasure is in some ways the most grimdark Soulslike yet. It’s about a cute crab battling other crabs at the bottom of a colourful sea, sure, but the different shells and the weapons you and your enemies are wielding are made from trash dumping into that colourful sea by humans. It’s still cute,
Funcom is expanding its development team to work on the studio’s unnamed Dune title. The firm is looking for folks in live operations, art, design, engineering, production, marketing, and many more.
