One of the most visually stimulating games of the year, Ultros delivers the most unique and unexpected twist on the Metroidvania genre. Developed by Hadoque and published by Kepler-Interactive, you’ll only experience this psychedelic, vibrant, narrative Metroidvania once, but will want to keep coming back to replay it again. This game took me back to when I was a little girl and I had owned a kaleidoscope. You know when you’d stare into it for a long time, turning the…

A Mind-Bending Universe with Vibrant Colors, This Metroidvania Takes You Flying- Ultros, PC Review
I smell something delicious… Could it be a Magical Delicacy Metroidvania?
I have to be honest, when I first heard of Magical Delicacy I didn’t understand how it would be a game about cooking and simulation but also a Metroidvania. Well, I recently had the pleasure to try the demo of the game during Steam Next Fest, and I fell in love with the game completely. The concept is perfect for every cozy gamer, and wait until you experience the beautiful scenery, music, NPC characters and just the environment as a…
Read MoreBaffling Xbox First Party Shift is a Ridiculous Gambit
Xbox look set to release all of their games onto PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, and in the very near future. And despite a large amount of theorising, that’s about all we know. But that is bad enough. This is very much a breaking news story, and I held off writing anything in the hopes that Microsoft were sensible enough to put out an official statement overnight. But it hasn’t happened. A variety of leakers and insiders have confirmed separately that…
Read More2D Dark Fantasy Metroidvania Platformer- RIN: The Last Child
It’s the beginning of the year 2024, and we are already starting with some amazing Metroidvanias. It’s been a while since I’ve played a game that took inspiration from games like Ori and The Blind Forest and I am not complaining. Developed and published by Space Fox Games, the developers have created a mythological fantasy exploration platformer, RIN: The Last Child. This game takes on an adventure to restore order in a mystical world and save the fate of her…

Read MoreThe Case for a God of War Remake
I recently finished God of War (2018) and very much enjoyed it. I know this isn’t going to be news to most people, but it’s really rather good. And while I could easily write a couple of thousand words on what worked (and a quite a bit less on what didn’t), there’s one thing that I felt stood out more than anything: the original God of War needs a Final Fantasy 7-style remake. Sony is in their “pointlessly releasing old…
Read MoreThe Spy Who Shot Me Impressions
“The Spy Who Shot Me” is a first-person shooter (FPS) game that combines classic spy action with a touch of humor. Developed by independent game developer and publisher Retro Army Limited, the game pays homage to the spy genre while adding its unique flair. In this game, I had to step into the shoes of a suave secret agent tasked with thwarting a global villain’s nefarious plans. The gameplay features a mix of espionage, gunfights, and gadgetry, offering a nostalgic…

Read MorePrince of Persia: The Lost Crown Review
It has been a LONG time since we’ve seen a proper Prince of Persia game. Back in 2020 Ubisoft had announced a remake for The Sands of Time, that quite frankly looked REALLY bad. After seeing that, I thought the franchise was doomed and it was time to move on. Thankfully, that project is delayed indefinitely…. which is typically lingo for “We aren’t going to do that anymore”. So, when The Lost Crown was announced at Summer Game Fest 2023,…
Read MoreIs It Worth Buying a PC In 2024?
With 2024 rapidly approaching, we ask what seems like an easily answerable question. Is it worth getting a new PC in 2024? Well, yes, it is. Because that’s not the difficult part. The difficult part now is the choice of how you’re going to enter into the world of PC gaming. Will you go for a desktop or a laptop? Will you stream via GeForce Now? Hell, you could even buy any of a selection of handhelds that offer up…
