Howdy, folks.  We have decided to close up for good.  It’s been a nice run though, hasn’t it?  PlayStation Country started in 2014 and we’ve reviewed over 2000 games in the last twelve years.   But, honestly, the fun is draining out of it a bit these days and we want […]

PlayStation Country is over!

The Spell Brigade is yet another Survivors-like, but one that has the twist of being focused on co-op play, which is a little unusual for this genre, and it’s from Bolt Blaster Games, a Belgium-based studio. The game sees you, and up to three other players, being under siege from […]

Drop Duchy is a strategy game with puzzle and deckbuilding elements, and it comes to us from Sleepy Mill Studio, a French coding crew. And it’s really quite a strange mix of genres that really come together in quite a clever way. The initial onboarding process with Drop Duchy isn’t […]

I keep wondering if a visual novel’s truly going to bowl me over.  I don’t really like it as a storytelling medium and there’s always the pervy underbelly that makes me want to steer clear.  Kamikaze Lassplanes, at the very least, injects traditional shoot-em-up gameplay into a story about women […]

I’ve played a few of these precise, 3D platformers over the years. I can’t say I’ve found a truly bad one but the biggest metric for success tends to rest on the patience of the person playing. The Confinement is the latest attempt to deliver a quick-fire adrenalin rush from […]

Trash Goblin is a cosy shopkeeping simulator from London-based devs Spilt Milk Studios, the team behind Tango Fiesta (which was a fun-but-flawed shooter) and Powerwash Simulator (a reasoanbly well-received job sim effort). As with the latter, this game sees you playing in a job role as the titular Goblin (that’s […]

Let Them Come: Onslaught is this week’s Vampire Survivors clone, and it’s a sequel to Tautara Games’ earlier Let Them Come, which was a 2D horde defence shooter. Shifting the viewpoint to above and adopting the now tried-and-tested formula of throwing a ton of enemies at you while you move […]

Let Them Come: Onslaught – PS5 Review

Find My Frogs is a departure from the usual Silesia Games fare, inasmuch as it’s amphibian focussed. Not one cat to be found. It’s still a hidden object game though, so you’ll know what to expect. In addition to the three hundred plus frogs and toads, you’re tasked with finding […]

Crystal Dynamics have been restarting the heart of the Legacy of Kain series with some stellar remasters. It led to speculation of a new game and that has, unfortunately, arrived. Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a petite slice of 2D platforming and combat that, rather than wet the appetite for […]

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance – PS5 Review

Starfield from Bethesda Game Studios by way of Bethesda Softworks, is the first new setting from the studio in more than two decades, being set in 2330. You play as an unnamed miner who for reasons that remain unclear finds themselves thrust into a grand space opera. Said space opera […]

We’re sure that if you asked David Doak (Golden Eye) and Steve Ellis (Timesplitters) twenty-five years ago what they would be making today, neither of them would have guessed they would be releasing Beyond Words. Just as Balatro took poker but filtered it through an addictive-roguelike structure, this game is […]

Beyond Words – PS5 Review

It is very strange to a Limited Run Games developed title on sale. I know they do dabble in game preservation but I’ve mostly seen them as a publisher rather than being more hands on. MARVEL MaXimum Collection is a diverse packaging of some 90’s classics and a couple of […]
