Konrad the kitten is a very basic game but yet also quite fun that is obviously aimed for the younger audience. You control a kitten named Konrad who is now more or less an adult cat. Whilst controlling Konrad you can adventure and explore different areas of a property, which seems to be quite empty hmm perhaps the humans are out shopping or something? Being alone within a house can become quite an adventurous…
Wolfenstein Cyberpilot is a game that is set before Wolfenstein Youngblood. Having said that there isn't much connection between the two and thus playing them out of order is fine, there is some minor dialogue in Youngblood that does connect both games but it is really minor and shouldn't effect the enjoyment of either games. if you do indeed end up playing them out of order. The gameplay in this game is not that…
(Sorry couldn't think of any real title names to describe this one, anyway) Wolfenstein Youngblood is set after the events of Wolfenstein New Colossus. The famous hero William "B.J." Blazkowicz has gone missing and there are no clues to his whereabouts or his well-being. Thus his two daughters decide to take it in their own hands to try and find him. The gameplay is interesting and completely different from past…
The Sinking City is regarded as a horror style game that if your familiar with it can also be regarded as being similar to games such as Call of Cathulu. You play as a Detective whom has a strange problem, he keeps seeing visions that end up haunting him regularly and this becomes all too apparent early in the game. The main character is on the search for why these visions occur but along the way he bumps into…
Trails of Cold Steel 2 is a Japanese RPG game that follows up from the events in Trails Of Cold Steel. It is also part of the Legend Of Heroes series. You play as a young hero in an adventure to take back Thors Military Academy, upon doing so you are also tasked to find and locate your lost comrades. The gameplay is very easy to understand that even an idiot like ourselves can get their head around it. You have your…

Judgment is a Japanese Crime game created by the same team that created the popular Yakuza series. Unlike Yakuza though, this time you play as a detective. The story for the most part is enjoyable, again set in the all too familiar world of Kamurocho which is now a well known place for Yakuza fans such as ourselves. The main protagonist starts off feeling rather depressed due to past incidents involving an…
Many have mentioned that this game is the Dark Souls of racing, at first I found that specific comment to be rather baffling. However, after now having played the game the comment actually makes quite a bit of sense. If you are a casual gamer then perhaps it will still be quite amusing for you. However, if you like to grind and get Trophies then and only then will you understand. This game is a lot more difficult…
Mortal Kombat 11 is the 11th game in the series. However, it is also the 3rd game from having been rebooted. Sounds confusing right? If you can keep up with the story and universe of the series then good for you if, however you are like us and have difficulty with this then the story in this game will be just as confusing. The story in this game covers a lot of time travel and it does do a lot to confuse you. We…
Truberbrook is a Point and Click Adventure title created by Indie German company, Headup Games. The story pits you as a man who manages to win a trip to Truberbrook. On a trip he figures would be a great vacation, it soon turns out that things do not quite go as expected. The gameplay is nice and for us specifically it felt like a nice game to relax to, with it being much more calm and peaceful compared to games we…
METRO REDUX: Metro Redux contains 2 games in one disc. You get both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light, both of which are great games and are cannon in the Metro story franchise. Here is our review! METRO 2033: Metro 2033 is the first game in the series. It pits you as a lone warrior so to speak who has managed to find himself in a Post Apocalyptic Moscow, where Mutants of all shapes and sizes roam around and if that…
The Occupation is an Indie developed game. It pits you as a a Detective type individual who is seeking to find the culprit who blew up a building killing several people, including a husband of one of the games main protagonists. Though in reality there are several main protagonists, you mainly complete and do tasks with a single person. The story is quite gripping and interesting. Each character speaks in a…
Devil May Cry 5 is the sixth title in the series, if you include the rather lack-lusting game the DMC reboot. Though it is titled Devil May Cry 5 you could probably get away with playing it and having no experience of the other games in the series. There is a backstory option within the game if you do indeed want to know about the previous games but as I have already mentioned, the story is quite friendly for those…
Left Alive feels like a Stealth game but it is not exactly a full on Stealth as you might expect. For one it lacks any major Stealth Takedown mechanics. The best way to describe this game is it is more of an actual Survival action game with stealth elements added in. The game relies a lot on your ability to craft certain traps and explosives. Your inventory and tools are your best friend within this game and thus…
Metro Exodus is the third game in the highly popular survival horror/stealth series. It is also set after the events of Metro Last Light. However, for us this was our very first experience playing a Metro game. We do own the Metro Redux version but sadly have not played much of it, for reasons that still elude us. Anyway we did know the consequences of the fact that Exodus is indeed set after these games, still we…
Going into this I personally did not have any high expectations for this one after playing the past few entries into the series and not really enjoying them, the last good Resident Evil game was probably back on the PS2 with Code Veronica. Thus deep down I did not want a remake as I was sure it would go bad and to make matters worse Resident Evil 2 is by far the best in the series, or for a better word my personal…
Life Is Strange is another title that focuses heavily on your decisions and actions within the game. The story revolves around a teenage girl still at school and is an aspiring photographer. Whilst having what was a normal day studying she somehow manages to obtain the ability to control time, now this may sound like a good thing but it can also be somewhat of a terrible one too depending on how you wish to play the…
Kingdom Hearts III is the third instalment into the highly popular Square - Enix and Disney mashup RPG. After having only played both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 back on the PS2, one was feeling rather nostalgic to see past characters in whom we have not seen in a long time. Such as Sora, Donald and Goofy whom make up the games main protagonists. Sadly though we did not do any research upon this and I'll admit we are not…
Final Fantasy XV Episode Ignis is one of the many different DLC add-ons for Final Fantasy XV. It covers the events during Chapter 9 of the base game from the character Ignis point of view. Ignis was our personal favourite character in the game so we where quite looking forward to this one and was the main reason we even decided to purchase a Season Pass. Now getting on with the content within the DLC, we where quite…
Red Dead Redemption 2 despite its name is actually a prequel to Red Dead Redemption, which come to think of it is one of the main reasons in which we decided to purchase the game, as we have never played any of the Red Dead Redemption titles, prior to this one of course. It is a Western style action game that has the main protagonist living life as a typical Outlaw in a rather vast open world. Whilst the story is…
Red Dead Redemption is a Western themed Cowboy game and is a spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver which was released back in 2004. Here you control a character named John Marston who is tasked with hunting down some people he once called friends, the overall story is very interesting and one in which is focused on betrayal. We had not managed to play this title until we had managed to complete Red Dead…
Darksiders 3 is a prequel to Darksiders 2 in which you control a new female character named, Fury. Without going too much into the spoiler territory, Fury is tasked with taking out the seven Horseman in order to try and save War whom has been captured. Having only played Darksiders 2 in which we rather enjoyed we where eagerly looking forward to playing this one, unfortunately though it did not quite meet our…
The Quiet Man is a game that mixes both in-game cinematic and gameplay with live action scenes. It is very rare to see a game that manages to pull this off, whilst it was more notable back in the 90s it is unfortunately not such a popular genre any more. Thus for us being able to play this managed to feel somewhat nostalgic for us, after having played similar style games back in the day. We managed to play both the…
After playing and watching many Mafia related movies and games in the past, one cant help but get used to that good old Italian/Sicilian accent that are often used in these types of media. It for us has certainly impacted us enough to now be reminded of the Mafia whenever we hear that accent, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it does make us enjoy various different media more if the specific accent is used for…
My Hero One's Justice is based on the hit popular Anime show, My Hero Academia or Boku no Hero Academia as it gets called in Japan. If your not aware of the Anime, it is a basic heroes versus villains show and really worth watching! We are usually not the type to enjoy many shows but this one really interests us. Now on with the review. We where really looking forward to playing this one, having really enjoyed…
Mafia II - Joe's Adventures is a DLC add-on for the game Mafia II. It plays after Vito gets thrown into the slammer for reasons we will not delve into. We played this add-on DLC after we had completed the full Mafia II game, in all honesty it is probably for the best to do so anyway due to specific spoilers. Anyway after doing so we became quite fond of the character Joe, he was in fact one of our favourite…
From the makers of the Yakuza game series comes, Fist Of The North Star Lost Paradise. This game features a man known as Kenshiro who is determined to find his lost fiancée. Having sworn to find her at all costs after being defeated by his own brother and coming close to death, one can imagine the story having quite an emotional impact. For those who are all too familiar with the Yakuza game series such as ourselves…
Yakuza is known for its well written storylines and Yakuza 2 manages to show this quite well. Yakuza Kiwami 2 also known as Yakuza Extreme 2 is a fully redone remake of Yakuza 2 which was originally released on PS2 back in 2006. Unfortunately despite owning the original on PS2 we never once played it, so the game not including the obvious make-over was a totally new experience for us. The game once again manages to…
We Happy Few was first released back in 2006 for the Windows PC and managed to receive mixed reviews from many different people, however we where still tempted to at least try it out and here is our verdict! At first we where a bit unsure of what we had let ourselves in for as we where instantly greeted by minor yet noticeable frame rate drops, which often enough never leads to anything good. However as the first…
Vampyr is set in a bleak world where a plague is forming and turning people into Vampires. The environments and soundtrack really makes you realize just how much the City of London is really suffering, every corner you turn sadness and turmoil isn't far behind. One of our personal favourite features in the game and one of which we feel has to be mentioned is the use of the 'L3' button, in which gives you an idea of…
SHENMUE I REVIEW: Shenmue HD Remaster is a direct port of the original game which was first released on the SEGA Dreamcast back in 1999 Please keep in mind whilst reading this we have never played the original Shenmue game unfortunately, it is a shame and we do consider ourselves to of lived under a rock all of those years. Anyway thankfully SEGA managed to release the HD remasters of both Shenmue and Shenmue II for…
Captain Spirit was created as a spin-off to the Life Is Strange game series and is Developed by the team at Dontnod Entertainment, it is also a free to download game which cannot be a bad thing, right? At the start we where immediately pleased to notice the option for larger subtitles which as we enjoy playing at a distance and on a much smaller tv is something we enjoy using, but unfortunately more often than not…

Detroit Become Human is the fifth title created by Quantic Dream and David Cage and it may just be their best game yet... After having played all of Quantic Dream's games thus far and somewhat enjoying each title, we where really looking forward to sinking our teeth into this one and we where not disappointed. In this game you play as three different characters all of whom are Androids and all of which have their…
Yakuza 6 is the 7th instalment into the main Yakuza game series and the 12th title if you include the spin offs as of May 2018. Selling a combined 500,000 units in Japan and Asia, it was also the third best selling video game in the United Kingdom during its European debut week, making it the biggest launch for the series in the UK. However despite this it seemed that the Japanese players weren't overwhelmingly…
Fallen Legion is an action RPG created by Independent Development team YummyYummyTummy who is mostly known for creating educational games for kids. At first glance the game looked rather interesting being a fan of Role Playing Games otherwise known as RPGs, I was highly looking forward to sitting down and spending some good quality time with the game. Unfortunately though it didn't take me long to loose interest in…
Prior to Monster Hunter World the Monster Hunter series was already a well known and hugely successful series having sold more than 45 million copies worldwide as of January 2018. However having only previously played a very small portion of Monster Hunter Tri on the Nintendo Wii myself, Monster Hunter World was my very first real proper plunge at a Monster Hunter title, and I must say I am in love with the game. It…
