Aqua Strike isn’t just another VR racing game; it’s a visceral, high-octane blend of speed, skill, and strategic combat, all set against a beautifully rendered aquatic backdrop. While it shares some DNA with other racing titles, Aqua Strike carves its own niche with its unique control scheme and emphasis on weaponized racing. Gameplay: Where Speed Meets Strategy The core gameplay loop is simple to grasp but difficult to master. You’re thrust into races against AI opponents (and potentially other players…

Little Lighthouse of Horror isn’t your typical jump-scare horror game.

You play as Lawrence, a man tasked with maintaining the light in a remote lighthouse. The core gameplay loop revolves…

Sony’s State of Play has come and gone, and that’s about as exciting as it gets. There were games. What more is there to say? I’m not going to be overly negative about it. There were a few things that piqued my interest. Warriors Abyss looks like a great time. Darwin’s Paradox – Metal Gear Octopus – is the stealth game I didn’t know I wanted. I loved the vibe of the next Onimusha game, and it’s leapt up my…

There’s a PlayStation State of Play tomorrow, giving us a look at some of the games coming in the next year or so. Lucky for Sony, we’re all pretty easy to please. There’s not much I want, especially not this side of Christmas. I don’t expect Shenmue III, The Last Guardian and a Final Fantasy VII remake all in one show. I just want it to be solid. Is that too much to ask? It hasn’t always been obvious, for…

Red Solstice 2: Survivors Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 isn’t just a game; it’s an experience.

Blood Bar Tycoon, developed by Clever Trickster Studio and available on PC, presents a darkly humorous take on the tycoon genre. Instead of managing a theme park or a railroad empire, players are tasked with building and running a successful blood bar for vampires. This macabre premise offers a unique spin on familiar mechanics, but does the game truly satiate our thirst for engaging gameplay, or does it leave us feeling drained? After extensive playtime, delving into every corner of…

One of my favourite times of the year is when Take-Two updates sales figures for Rockstar Games. GTA5 has sold to 210m people and Red Dead Redemption 2 is a relative flop at only 70m. Yes, a mere 70m copies. So why does it feel like it was abandoned? Don’t get me wrong, nobody is going to complain about the amount of content in that game. It’s a colossal world with systems upon systems, and we’re still discovering new things…
