Wounds of Eventide
Brilliantly brutal action title Blasphemous is getting a big update on the 9th December, which adds the game's "final chapter".

News Crown Trick Is a Rogue-Like RPG Where Enemies Only Move When You Do
Coming to PS4 next month
The rogue-like genre is a crowded one, so if you're going to make one, it needs to have something that sets it apart. In the case of Crown Trick, from publisher Team 17 and developer NEXT Studios, it's an action RPG in which enemies and traps only move when you do. Every step you take in the game's procedurally generated...
Mini Review King of Seas (PS4) - A Slow But Seaworthy Pirate RPG
Weathering the storm
King of Seas might have an uncomfortably similar name to Microsoft's Sea of Thieves, but the two are very different takes on nautical adventuring. This is a top-down, sea-faring sandbox in which you play as the child of the titular monarch, framed for his murder and forced into a life of piracy. The story isn't going to blow you...
News King of Seas Is a Procedurally Generated Pirate ArrrPG Sailing to PS4 on 25th May
Welcome aboard
Sorry, we couldn't resist the headline opportunity there. To be clear: King of Seas is a top-down action RPG set within a procedurally generated world of pirates. You set sail on the open waters and explore the sea, collect treasure, trade with other ships, and of course, engage in battle. But it's not all aimless bobbing about; a...
News Huge Monster Sanctuary Update Will Add New Game+ and Difficulty Options Later This Month
Monster game, monster patch

We heaped praise on the pixelated adventure in our Monster Sanctuary PS4 review, giving it a 'great' 8/10. As such, we're excited to hear about a rather robust update that's coming to the game later this month, on...
News Cooking Adventure Epic Chef Serves Up a PS4 Release This Summer
Watch the (very brief) trailer
Epic Chef was announced a while ago, but was initially only coming to PC via Steam.

Mini Review Narita Boy (PS4) - 80s Soaked Action Adventure Is a Digital Delight
Narita Booooooy
Narita Boy is a side-scrolling, 80s VCR-soaked pixel adventure. You play as the titular Narita Boy, a chosen hero of sorts who's tasked with saving a digital dimension from its all-powerful creator. There's a lot more story here than you might think — most of it told through lengthy dialogue boxes — but the gist of it is that...

News Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Crosses Paths with Blasphemous in Free Strife and Ruin Update
Miriam, Boss rush mode, more
There are a good number of Souls-inspired 2D action games these days, but few are better than Blasphemous.

Another critically acclaimed 2D title is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a sort of...
News Overcooked: All You Can Eat Serves Up a PS4 Release in March
PS5 remaster collection coming to PS4

News Latest Worms Rumble Update Finally Adds Team Deathmatch Mode on PS5, PS4
Team time
Worms Rumble was one of our PlayStation Plus games for December, and it's a surprisingly entertaining spin-off. With faster paced action than the traditionally turn-based Worms series, it's a very different experience, but one worth a shot. One criticism we did have about it was a lack of content at launch, but Team 17 has been updating...
News Going Under's Free Working From Home Update Adds New Modes, Abilities, Items, and More
Coming in February

News Couch Co-Op Game Moving Out Gets Free 'Moving In' Update on PS4 Soon
Shake it all about
Moving Out is a delightful co-op game that hit PlayStation 4 last year. The objective, as the name suggests, is to remove a number of objects from each house and load them into a moving van. Of course, with up to four players and various hazards getting in the way, chaos ensues. It's a lighthearted title that rewards coordinated...
News The Swedish Chef Is Now a Playable Character in Overcooked: All You Can Eat
Perfection
Overcooked: All You Can Eat is the PlayStation 5 remaster of the two classic co-op cooking games.

It seems that isn't slowing down, as...

Worms Rumble is part of your PlayStation Plus subscription this month, and it's well worth checking out.

One of our main criticisms is the lack of content, but we suspected a long-term plan would bring more...
Mini Review Monster Sanctuary (PS4) - A Monster Taming Marvel
This one's a Keeper
Here's the elevator pitch for Monster Sanctuary: It's like Pokémon, but it's structured like a Metroidvania. It boasts a reasonably large map of interconnected corridors and rooms, complete with some light puzzle and platforming elements. The world itself is a bit unremarkable, but it's the in-depth and addictive gameplay that...
Mini Review Worms Rumble (PS5) - Simple But Successful Spin-Off Proves the Series Has Wriggle Room
A new species
The Worms franchise has more or less stayed the same across its 25-year history, so it was due a shake-up. Worms Rumble is an offshoot that ditches the strategic turn-based gameplay in favour of more immediate, real-time action. Fans may well wrinkle their noses at this, but honestly, it works better than you might think. Up to 32...

Pokemon meets metroidvania
Here's a cute little game to look forward to. Monster Sanctuary, published by Team 17 and developed by Moi Rai Games, is a metroidvania RPG about collecting, raising, and battling monsters. That might sound familiar to Pokemon fans, but going by this new trailer, it looks to function pretty differently. You play as a...
News This Is How Tasty Overcooked Looks on PS5

Team 17 has released the comparison trailer embedded above, and in addition to smooth 60...

Review Going Under - A Compelling and Comical Roguelite
Upstairs downstairs
Many roguelikes and roguelites follow a similar template, and if you've played one, it can feel as though you've played them all. However, they're not all cut from the same cloth; yes, they share some common design and gameplay choices, but others are true outliers that do things differently with the formula. Going Under is one...
News Overcooked: All You Can Eat Turns Up the Heat on Accessibility Options
PS5 release includes Assist mode and more
Overcooked is a series that's already very accessible to a lot of people. Even the very first game included the ability to split your controller, allowing you to play with just one hand. Still, there's always more that can be done, and the PlayStation 5 edition of the series looks to be the most inclusive...
News Corporate Rogue-lite Game Going Under Starts Up on PS4 in September

It's an odd one, then, but with that wonderfully colourful...
Review Neon Abyss - Fast-Paced Rogue-Like Can Be a Little Too Chaotic
Gotta hatch'em all
Neon Abyss is a procedurally generated, rogue-like platformer that takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Enter the Gungeon and The Binding of Isaac.

Mini Review Moving Out - PS4 Couch Co-Op at Its Most Literal
To me, to you
Moving Out successfully gamifies the otherwise highly stressful process of relocating.

It's daft, easygoing fun. Levels start...

News Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair PS4 Update Adds New Soundtrack and Easy Mode
It's all Chiptune
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a thoroughly enjoyable 2D spin-off to Playtonic's mainline Nintendo 64-like experience, but some players felt things got a little bit too difficult towards the end of the game.

Year of the rat
In the era of ever-evolving video games, who would've thought Overcooked 2 would be among them?

News Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Getting Free Demo on PS4 This Month
Try before you buy
The original Yooka-Laylee was an okay attempt at reviving the 3D collectathon platformer, but Playtonic Games scaled down its ambitions for the follow-up, delivering a far better executed side-scroller. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is well worth playing, but if you've yet to dive in, we'd suggest holding off until the end...

Review Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair - A Great Example of Less Is More
Going batty
Yooka-Laylee was born out of a desire to return to the 3D mascot platformers of the mid-nineties. The initial game by Playtonic, a studio that has several ex-Rare staffers in its ranks, found a degree of success in this mission statement, but it didn't quite measure up to expectations. It's a cutesy, colourful collect-a-thon with nice...
