Cats Around Us: Giant Cat is the latest cat-em-up from our pals at Silesia Games. The dev is noobzilla, they of the Cats and Seek subset. The price on the PSN store is £2.49, but even for one of Silesia’s games, this is slim pickings. You first have a stage […]

I think when you put together a story about the dangers of social media, it can be tricky to walk the right line. BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW comes from Serafini Productions who think they’re on the right track with help from an actual influencer. Unfortunately, their involvement seems to undercut the prevalent […]

The Perplexing Orb: Bounce Mania is a platforming game indie from TreeFall games.  It shares a sub-genre with other rolling ball platformers like Trailblazer, Bouncer, Spindizzy and, if you want an example that isn’t from the ’80s, Super Monkey Ball.  It’s the fifth entry in a series of Perplexing Orb games with the previous […]

I Am Future or to give it its full name, I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival comes to us from developer Mandragora and publisher Tinybuild. Mandragora being based in Armenia with a globally spread team. That’s a thing now we guess. The full title is fairly descriptive of what to […]

Hextreme Void is the latest of many auto-battling, rogue-lite games all following on from the great success of Vampire Survivors a couple of years ago.  This one comes to us by way of a little studio called Double Mizzlee and has been released by PSN’s most-prolific publishers Eastasiasoft. The game is a little […]

You could still argue the kart racer genre is not well-served, outside of Nintendo’s platforms. Coming from particularly barren era, Street Racer managed to find some renown on the Super Nintendo whilst also being ported to anywhere that would have it. Street Racer Collection takes four of these versions and […]

From Polish-based publisher Ultimate Games comes the console port of a three-year-old PC game, Bus World. Originally produced by Russian developer Kishmish Games, this port was likely produced by Ultimate Games as going by the Steam page for the game, it seems to have been pretty much abandoned by the […]

Maybe I’m getting jaded by the indie horror offerings. If it’s not zombies, it’s eldritch horror. Dark Atlas: Infernum offers the latter. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Night Council Studio’s debut delivers some strong world building but I left it feeling a little underwhelmed. There are seeds of promise here […]

Static Dread: The Lighthouse comes to us from Solarsuit Games and Games Harbor. You play as the nameless keeper of the previously automated Outsmouth Lighthouse. Quite why it falls to you isn’t entirely clear, but it sets you up for all manner of eldritch goings on as you see out […]

Another month, another Hidden Cats game, once again from Silesia Games and Nukearts, this time in Istanbul. Not Constantinople, that’s right out. Once more unto the breach with lovely lightly animated images and finding the cats. This is basically the same template as the Rio De Janeiro installment, once again […]

Hidden Cats in Istanbul – PS5 Review

Kill It With Fire 2 from Casey Donnellan Games is the follow-up from the original that we reviewed in 2021.  That was quite a fun tightly focussed puzzle game. Our anticipation was that this would be more of the same, having been in early access on PC for more than […]

Dino Land is a port of a pinball game originally developed by Japanese developers Wolf Team and released on the Megadrive/Genesis (and also the Sharp X68000) way back in 1991.  And it’s really a strange choice of game to port.  The original never led to any sequels, the developers eventually […]
