Review by Nick H. I admit I had my concerns when I saw that LittleBigPlanet 3 was being developed by a different team, Sumo Digital. There was a charm to the prior games that belied its surprisingly deep platforming mechanics and design options. I am happy to say that LittleBigPlanet…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Grand Theft Auto V is a title that, like The Last of Us Remastered, was ahead of its time. And because of this they are much more at home on the PlayStation 4, despite not having been initially designed with the current generation of consoles in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I love genuine RPGs, of the kind developed by a studio with a passion for recreating the classic pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons experience. These kinds of projects are sadly rare now, as the industry has gradually moved towards more linear narrative storytelling and action-based gameplay, but…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. For many and varied reasons I have not traditionally found myself getting along with the Call of Duty franchise, but to narrow it down to a quick summary; I’m a big fan of narrative and not the world’s biggest fan of online multiplayer, and so Call…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Battle Islands is the kind of game that it would have been nice to have never seen on the PlayStation 4. Doing almost nothing different to the likes of Clash of Clans, the game’s all about waiting, waiting, and then spending money so you don’t need…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Whoever was involved in the visual direction of Shadow Warrior deserves a massive raise. There is no game that is more fundamentally beautiful on the PlayStation 4 than Shadow Warrior’s remake. I found myself spamming the “share” button on the PlayStation 4 controller with every new…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In Space We Brawl is quite simple in its design, which is funny because space is meant to be limitless. It takes the local multiplayer focus that made the likes of Towerfall so great and combines it with that classic that almost everyone has forgotten now…
