Funko Fusion Review

Funko Fusion is a unique gaming experience that brings together iconic characters from various franchises into a single, open-world adventure. As a fan of both Funko Pop! collectibles and video games, I was eager to dive into this title, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The core mechanics are very similar to Lego games, which makes sense because much of the team had previously worked on some of the Lego titles, however it’s not executed nearly as well. The Good:…

Forget PS5 Pro – Worry about PlayStation 6

The PlayStation 5 Pro was officially announced. It’ll allow you to have fidelity graphics at 60fps. And it’s a… er… steal at $700. And if you think that’s bad, wait until the PlayStation 6 gets announced. The new pro console boasts the ability to play your games with higher quality visuals while retaining the 60fps. Three quarters of people are choosing performance modes over fidelity. I will save the obvious observation that people picking framerate over graphics at a time…

Astrobot: The Controversy in Cameos

Astrobot is an inoffensive, entertaining little platformer that has been entertaining fans and critics since it released last week. So the discussion around cameos might be a little surprising. Like its predecessor, the free-on-PS5 Astrobot’s Playroom, Astrobot contains a whole load of cute cameos. PlayStation characters in all shapes and sizes return in their dozens. Unlike Playroom, which came out at the start of the generation, today’s cameos have had a less pleasant reaction. The reason is fair enough. Today…

Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 Review

Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 is a unique title that offers a niche yet surprisingly satisfying experience for those who enjoy the thrill of dismantling colossal vessels. While it may not be for everyone, its methodical gameplay and the sheer satisfaction of reducing a ship to scrap metal can be incredibly rewarding. Gameplay: The core gameplay loop revolves around acquiring contracts to dismantle ships. Players are equipped with a variety of tools, including torches, grinders, and hammers, to break down the…

Astro Bot Review

It’s not often that a company can release a title and claim they’ve come close to landing alongside Nintendo greats like Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Galaxy. But here we are in 2024, looking at a brand new release on the PlayStation 5, and this is as close any competitor has come to reaching the heights Nintendo has. Astro Bot is a fantastic experience throughout, and although completing the game doesn’t take all that long, and I was hoping…

Concord: A Post-Post-Mortem

Just a few hours after I wrote that Concord wasn’t dead yet, Sony killed it. I guess that’s a lesson to us all. You can no longer buy it. Servers will be shut off tomorrow. After eight years of development, the game lasted about a fortnight. Its director said that it will be back after the development team “explore options, including those that will better reach our players”. If you heard “free-to-play model” then you won’t be alone. And yet…

Concord: A Post-Mortem

Within hours of release, PlayStation’s Concord was labelled a failure of the highest magnitude. Analysts have suggested sales could be sitting at around 25,000 on console. Steam sales are behind that. And man, people are loving it. Endless analysis from people without the information needed to give it and, huh, surprise of surprises, the analysis all points to exactly what their opinion on the situation is. Sony is focussing too much on GAAS, and this is their punishment. The marketing…

Rise of the Retro Sets

Once upon a time, retro collections were rapidly thrown together catalogues of old games. These were roms, and other than a menu connecting them together, nothing else had changed. Gone are the days. Capcom has another Fighting Collection on the way. A Tetris set is in the works too. This is awesome news. And I’m especially aware of it, because I’m working through the incredible Sonic Origins collection right now. First, Fighting Collection 2. Any set that includes the Power…

Concord: A Solid Start, But Still Finding Its Footing

Concord, Firewalk Studios’ debut title on the PS5, is a hero-based shooter that offers a unique blend of character-driven gameplay and intense action. While it shows promise, it’s still navigating the competitive landscape and could benefit from a few refinements. The Good: Distinct Characters: Each character brings a unique playstyle to the table, ensuring variety and strategic depth. Engaging Story: The narrative, though still unfolding, offers a compelling backdrop for the action. Visually Appealing: The game’s graphics are impressive, ...
