Random We Want This Physical Version of Cult of the Lamb's Knucklebones Mini-Game
Not baa-d
Cult of the Lamb is a great game in its own right, but its simple mini-game, Knucklebones, is a fun change of pace from all that dungeon crawling and follower sacrificing. It's a game in which two players take turns rolling six-sided dice, placing them into one of three columns and competing for points. There are very few rules, but it...

Review Trek to Yomi (PS5) - Short Samurai Slasher Thrives on Amazing Atmosphere
Highway to hell
Trek to Yomi isn't much of a trek, to be honest. This tribute to classic samurai cinema is only a few hours long at most, taking place across just a handful of story chapters. But what Trek to Yomi lacks in longevity, it makes up for in sheer atmosphere and spectacle. It's a superbly crafted indie adventure from a visual point of...
News Trek to Yomi's Action Packed Launch Trailer Sets the Tone Ahead of Tomorrow's Launch
There will be blood
Trek to Yomi is out tomorrow (that's the 5th May) on PS5 and PS4, so it's about time that we got a stylish launch trailer. The indie samurai slash-'em-up has always looked great in select footage — even if it was a little bit janky in that last gameplay video. Anyway, it won't be long until you can put Hiroki's steel to the...

Review Weird West (PS4) - Ambitious Top-Down RPG Comes Close to Greatness
Darn shootin'
With the success of Deathloop last year, the comeback of immersive sims from their late 90s/early 2000s heyday seems to be in full swing. Through dogged determination and fantastic game design, Arkane Studios has almost single-handedly revived the genre a decade after releasing the first Dishonored title. So it makes sense that Weird...

Mini Review Shadow Warrior 3 (PS4) - A Very 2014 Shooter
Wang gang
Shadow Warrior 3 might be set in the demon-ravaged ruins of a futuristic Japan, but the game itself feels like a return to the early 2010s. Protagonist Lo Wang is constantly quipping, breaking the fourth wall and using his own name for dick jokes as he auditions to be the next Ryan Reynolds. There's parkour, grappling hooks, and an...

Enough of your bleating
First announced during Gamescom 2021, Cult of the Lamb is a sinister base-building dungeon crawler with a deceptively cute art style.

Mini Review Serious Sam 4 (PS5) - Mental Breakdown
Seriously disappointing
Serious Sam 4 almost immediately disappoints. That’s not to say it’s bad — it's another generally playable slice of carnage in the long-running series — but it’s also yet another prequel, a fifth game in which the villain, the tastefully named “Mental”, does not make an appearance. It's another shooter much like...
