Get ready to embark on a maritime journey that leaves you questioning the very definition of entertainment. Ships Simulator on PlayStation 5, developed by OceanCraft Studios, attempts to bring the high seas to your living room. Ships Simulator attempts to capitalize on the PlayStation 5’s hardware but falls short of delivering a truly captivating visual experience. While water effects and ship models show promise, the overall execution lacks the polish expected from a next-gen title. The graphics are passable, but…

Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 has hit the Xbox consoles, bringing a whole new level of realism and excitement to virtual garage enthusiasts. As a devout fan of both motorcycles and simulation games, I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty in this digital workshop. One of the first things that struck me about the game is the attention to detail. From the finely crafted motorcycle models to the lifelike garage environment, the developers at Play2Chill S.A. have clearly gone the…

UFC 5 is the latest installment in the popular Ultimate Fighting Championship video game series, and it has managed to elevate the franchise to new heights. Since there is a big lack of boxing games I was eager to give this a try to help quench that thirst.  And let me tell you, UFC 5 does not disappoint. From the moment you boot up the game, you’ll be greeted with stunning visuals that capture the essence of the UFC perfectly.…

The time has come for my most anticipated game of the year Spider-Man 2. When Insomniac Games released the first Spider-Man in 2018 people were excited but didn’t know 100% to expect, after they got their hands on it, many people (me included) considered it to be in the top tier of superhero games with the likes of the Arkham Series. Traversal was done in such an amazing and fun way that had never been done before, so people were…

Cursed with a magic which does not fit within the five cardinal aelic callings, 13-years old Lecia has to hide from the guards and find a way out of the city. Yet this magic will allow her to sneak into places and observe plots and schemes that could shake the foundations of Magistan, as the Empress’ progress approaches Norwood.

It is the nature of modern games that they can change, and quickly. Luckily Sonic Frontiers is all about quick. Okay, puns aside, this is a game that has changed a lot since I reviewed it back in January, and not least because of the free Final Horizon DLC released at the end of last month. But is that enough to bring players back? My initial opinion on Sonic Frontiers is that it was a diamond in the rough. It…

Assassin’s Creed has become one of those staple games we expect to see every couple of years, having been around the block a few times, Ubisoft is always looking for ways to reinvent the series. Going back to Origins, the game took a GIANT RPG leap forward and started to become a bigger and more robust experience since then. In many eyes, these games while great, often lost themselves and were just giant to be giant. Lots of collectables, side…

It’s been a hot minute since we have had a Forza Motorsport game, we had two great entries in the Horizon series since the last one. Has the time off given this series a chance to reinvent itself? Perhaps continue to absolutely master the art of racing games? Or does it just bring things back to the way they used to be? Yes to all of the above, kind of…. Forza Motorsport is a sim racing video game at its…

If you’d have told me that one of my favourite games of 2023 would be a Soulslike based on Pinocchio, I’d have laughed and laughed. And yet here we are. Lies of P takes the formula perfected by From in Dark Souls and Elden Ring and makes an impressive job at replicating it. This is addictive, dark and fun. It’s also difficult. Arguably it’s more difficult than some of the From games. But as always in this genre, there is…
