Saros – Review

As a rule, I was not a fan of roguelikes and bullet-hells shooters, well…. I wasn’t until I played Housmarques Returnal back in 2021. They opened my eyes to what great fun they can be, that said nobody else has captured that lightning in a bottle for me since though. Now the game development geniuses from Finland are back with another roguelike shooter, Saros – exclusively on PS5.

The Playstation Portal, hands on

Christmas was upon us, and so was the time to buy prezzies for loved ones, or more importantly, buy cool shit for yourself. Cool shit like something that allows you to play PS5 games, lying prone on the couch, while recovering from too much Ham and Potato Salad!

Horizon Forbidden West PC

Ever since I bought a Valve Steam Deck last year (an original LED model, not the newer OLED one), I have tried to do much of my PC gaming these days on it.

An interesting game I like to play with my Steam library is “Will my Steam Deck play that?”

So when my editor asked if I was keen to review Guerilla’s PlayStation 5 game Horizon Forbidden West, which has been ported to the PC, I immediately asked … “Will my Steam Deck play that? – and it can but with a few caveats.
