Wartales, Byte Size Review
Wartales is an open-world, tactical turn-based RPG and it surprised me out of the gate. It’s a subtle mix of Banner Saga, Baulders Gate and even some Skyrimesque freedom too.
Not what I expected from a game I had never heard of.

Forza Motorsport, Xbox Series S Review
I enjoy the Forza Horizon games for a time, but the arcady action soon looses its sheen and I find myself yearning for a proper driving simulator experience.
So, I was chomping at the bit to get my hands on Forza Motorsport this month, and boy…..it did not disappoint!

Assassins Creed Mirage, Byte Size Review (XSX)
So apparently Assassins Creed has been around for 15 years now. And after the huge outings involved in Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, Assassins Creed Mirage is a step back in size, and in some ways, in time.
Set in Baghdad during the ninth century is indeed a step back in time but more importantly Assassins Creed Mirage is a journey back to the gameplay roots of earlier games in the franchise.

Everspace 2 Launch Trailer
Here’s the latest trailer for Everspace 2, the game hits the street on consoles this week and if you haven’t read our PC or PS5 reviews yet, give them a go.

Everspace 2 Review (PS5)
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.

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.

Redfall Review (XSX)
Redfall, Massachusetts. A lovely island town with great amenities and plenty for locals and tourists alike.
Unfortunately a legion of vampires have also taken a fancy to Redfall as well. Isolating the community and blocking out the sun, our resident fang-faces are having their way with the human population.
Time for a hero, or four, to step up.

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!
