Mini Review Loop8: Summer of the Gods (PS4) - Shallow RPG With a Repetitive Time Loop Mechanic
Let’s do the time warp again
Part visual novel, part RPG, Loop8: Summer of the Gods is an interesting idea which unfortunately ends up stuck in a bit of a rut. It all starts off well enough, with the game’s protagonist Nini moving to a small town and one of the few safe havens left on Earth. Humanity has been driven to the brink of extinction...
Review No More Heroes III (PS5) - A Suda51 Sequel Full of Surprises
Start the game
Grasshopper Manufacture and its founder Goichi Suda are infamous for their oddball ideas, and the No More Heroes games are prime examples of their unorthodox proclivities. The first two games are schizophrenia-fuelled mania operating under the guise of hack-and-slashes, while Travis Strikes Again utilised its smaller team and budget...
Review Granblue Fantasy Versus - Superbly Crafted Fighter Is a Joy to Play and Behold
Sky's the limit
Republished on Wednesday 31st August 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of September's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows. A fighting game adaptation of the immensely popular mobile title, Granblue Fantasy Versus stands as yet another shining example of developer Arc...
Mini Review Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed (PS4) - Remastered JRPG Is Fun But Flawed
Strip Tease
How time flies! The Akiba’s Trip series has been going for 10 years and to celebrate Acquire has remastered the first game in the series, which was previously only released on PSP in Japan. The game takes place in Akihabara, an area in Tokyo that is famous for its maid cafés and abundance of stores filled with manga, anime, and...
Mini Review Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (PS4) - Gorgeous Action RPG with Deep Farming Mechanics
Have a rice day
In Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, you’ll be playing as a young goddess, called Sakuna, who spends her days being lazy and drinking in the home of the gods. After a small mishap involving a fire and some sacred offerings, she ends up being banished to the Isle of Demons and told that she can only return once all the monsters are...
Assassins bleed
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is the kind of the game that revels in poking fun at its contemporaries – and yet somehow finds itself part of the punchline. This irreverent slice of post-modern punk has all of the verve of its Nintendo Wii predecessors, but it’s padded by stale gameplay segments which threaten to undo all...
Just beat it
If you're a fan of Japan and its wonderful culture then you'll probably be aware of Akihabara, a district in Tokyo filled with all manner of delights that will get any otaku salivating at the thought of it. It's a haven for geeks with plenty of shops filled with anime, manga, collectable cards and figurines, as well as maid cafés for...
Review Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star (PS4)
History repeats
At its core, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is Dynasty Warriors set in cyber space. Three factions battle it out to decide who rules the brightly coloured digital world, and each army is spearheaded by anime-style representations of mythical and historical figures. You'll see legendary Chinese general Lu Bu clashing with Joan of Arc...
Review Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel (PS4)
Blast this patchwork world
Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel is the latest fighter to take to the PlayStation 4, featuring 12 characters from the visual novels of Tokyo-based Nitroplus. Typically, the title is set up to show fans what could happen if their favourites were brought together to lay down beatings, so what makes this game...
Review Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair (PS4)
The bugs are back in town
Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair is glorious in its stupidity. It's easily one of the worst looking games on the PlayStation 4, its general gameplay is incredibly basic, and quite frankly the whole thing's bloody mental. You rarely see such madness on home consoles these days – but all of this is part of...

News Senran Kagura Estival Versus Bounces onto PS4 and Vita Next Year
Physical copies, too
It may have taken a while, but Senran Kagura Estival Versus finally has a European release date. The brawler, which features female ninja smashing the absolute snot out of each other, will launch on PlayStation 4 and Vita in the first quarter of 2016. It's a shame that we don't have a more precise date, especially given that...
News Girls are Cuter on the PS4, According to Senran Kagura Creator
This is next-gen
Ah, Kenichiro Takaki, the rather bombastic mind behind the Senran Kagura series. Unsurprisingly, when he isn't busy talking about women, he's probably busy thinking about them, but in a recent interview with PlayStation Universe, he was actually contemplating something different: the power of the PlayStation 4. "Simply put, with...
Something something Japan
Maybe it's the writing, maybe it's the voice acting, we don't know - but we bet a lot of people who watch Onechanbara Z2: Chaos' Western announcement trailer will think that it looks a bit cheap. Production values aren't everything, of course, and we reckon it does look like it could prove to be fun in a very over the top...
News Bikinis, Zombies, and Ridiculous Action: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos Is Coming West on PS4
The w*nking dead
Described by its publisher as a "sexy zombie slayer", Onechanbara Z2: Chaos is heading West courtesy of XSEED Games. Essentially a hack-and-slasher that's not afraid of some, er, raunchy content, you play as various members of the "bikini zombie squad" and take the fight to the undead hordes. Typically, you can upgrade your weapons...
