Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is actually the third remake of the cutesy GameCube farming sim Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This PS5 remaster collates the new features added by the PS2 special edition and Another Wonderful Life on the GameCube before bringing the game into the modern day,...
Atomic Heart is advertised as developer Mundfish’s first game, but that isn’t quite true. The studio’s first venture into gaming, Soviet Lunapark VR, didn’t go too well; the Early Access game was removed from sale abruptly and support was discontinued mere months after its release. This new action RPG infused...
Stray
Not many people would have predicted that PlayStation’s biggest release of July 2022 would be a third-person adventure game about a cat, but Stray is a perfectly good choice as a leading game. A refreshing change of pace from the action-heavy, big-budget releases that otherwise lead the gaming release calendar, you...
Karl Fairburne and his sniper rifle are synonymous with World War II and the battle against the Nazis. Players must be wondering what Rebellion could bring to the era now that we’ve reached the franchise’s fifth installment. Our Sniper Elite 5 review finds a game that has larger levels that...

While a sequel was reportedly in development, it was ultimately cancelled. The problem is Turtle Rock Studios became an independent company...
Five years have passed since console players got to enjoy a game based on the exploits of Agatha Christie‘s famous Belgian detective. Blazing Griffin’s Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases breaks that deadlock with a new adventure game that follows just a few weeks after their console debut...
The Aragami franchise began with the game of the same name that was released in 2016. Five years later, Aragami 2 aims to expand on the supernatural stealth ninja formula introduced by the first game. The standalone game requires no knowledge of its predecessor to enjoy, which is really a...
