No the title isn’t a typo. Tusock is now on PS5. And loving all the PlayStation exclusives I have never played.
Anywho, Everspace 2 is the reason we are here.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart PC
Ratchet & Clank are one of PlayStation’s most endearing duos, first appearing on the PlayStation 2 in 2002 from developer Insomniac Games.
The pair were a resounding success on Sony’s games console, and over the years appeared in such classics as Tools of Destruction, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.
Now we have Rift Apart PC.

Aliens: Dark Descent, Review
Set 20 years after the Aliens 3 movie, Dark Descent focusses on Tantalus Base, where a Xenomorph outbreak has occurred.
I controlled a squad of Marines, akin to “The Commander” in XCOM from the crashed command ship, The Otago.
It has some loose similarities to XCOM, except its combat which is a Real-Time Strategy game, not turn based.
It is however a Newt free zone.

Company of Heroes 3, PS5 review
PC Real Time Strategy (RTS) games live and die by their control system when ported to Console.
Company of Heroes 3 (CoH3) has had the gamepad or controller conversion treatment, and pleasingly I can report the experience on PS5 is excellent.
Surprisingly though, it’s actually some of Relic’s single-player design choices that has caused me concern.

Replikator, review
Replikator had me at “Top Down Sci-Fi Shooter”. I mean what’s not to love, being a huge Alienation fan and having grown up on the likes of Alien Syndrome, and Alien Breed.
Choose a rag-tag character from a bunch of rag-tag characters, including a Space Racoon. Board some crusty Space Stations and fight your way to the Boss. Yes, we’ve been here before.

Miasma Chronicles, Review
Unfortunately, as a console gamer my platforms of choice don’t equate to a plethora of games in the tactical genre space. So, when I caught wind of the upcoming Miasma Chronicles, I was a happy little tactical camper.
As soon as I started playing, I fell in love with Miasma Chronicles’ unique spin on the post-apocalypse.
25 hours later…we’re still together.

Dead Island 2 Review
Dead Island 2 doesn’t mess about, a long awaited sequel to the fondly dismembered Dead Island.
This time round you get to choose from a bunch of keen zombie slayers and make your way through the cluttered alleyways and luxury houses of L.A.
Once you’ve picked your Slayer du jour, depending on their style and skill tree, it’s clobbering time!

Minecraft Legends Byte Size Review (XSX)
Being completely oblivious to this latest Mojang Studios release, my initial thought was of Minecraft Dungeons and how I had enjoyed that.
I entered the Legends realm with quite a positive outlook. Bring on the Piglins!
Thanks to Microsoft/Xbox for providing a copy of Minecraft Legends to me for review. I really do appreciate it.

Destiny: Lightfall, Review
Destiny Lightfall, what to say, what to say.
Those who know the Cottage, know I’m the resident Destiny fiend. But over the latter part of 2022, new content was a tad light and I had been jonesing for some new Bungie goodness.
The ‘new goodness’ finally arrived in a new expansion Lightfall and it is overall, excellent.
So lets dive into some details, Guardian.

Mato Anomalies, PS5
As someone who has, for the past five years or so, needed to come to terms with the fact that I do not have time in my life for long-winded RPGs.
Particularly JRPGs, Mato Anomalies has breezed in to scratch a very specific itch.
