News Resident Evil Village Resurrects The Mercenaries Arcade Mode
Customise and upgrade your arsenal
Resident Evil fans are unanimous in their adoration of the series’ arcade-infused Mercenaries mode, but outside of some loosely inspired alternatives in the Resident Evil Revelations sub-series, the option has been largely absent in recent years.

News Immortals Fenyx Rising's Third DLC Does Things Much Differently, Out Next Week
The Lost Gods
Immortals Fenyx Rising is getting its third expansion next week, on the 22nd April. It's titled 'The Lost Gods', and as far as we're aware, this is the final planned DLC for the open world game. But much like Myths of the Eastern Realm, this add-on won't feature Fenyx or locations from the main release. Instead, you'll play as a new...
Random Kinda Funny's Blessing Show Gets the Dreams Treatment in Awesome New Video
#MadeInDreams
We know we've waxed lyrical about Media Molecule's Dreams about a billion times by now, but we're not the only ones.

However, he's outdone himself with the finale episode of his...
News Rise of the Slime Is a Cheerful Card-Battling Rogue-Lite Coming to PS5, PS4 This Summer
Mr Blobby
Slay the Spire is a personal favourite of this author, so news of a rogue-lite, deck-building adventure game is music to our ears. Rise of the Slime is just that — an indie title about battling your way through the land using a selection of powerful cards. As you can see in the above trailer, the game has a charming, stick puppet...

Ain't gone yet
A Change.org petition asking Sony to "approve" Days Gone 2 has been doing the rounds online for the past couple of days.

News F1 2021 Races Onto PS5, PS4 This Summer, Free Upgrade Path Confirmed
New story mode, next-gen visuals, more
Codemasters has been making official Formula One games for quite some time now, and they're universally excellent.

News Wasteland 3 Gets Steeltown DLC, Out on PS4 This June
Help take back Steeltown
We consider Wasteland 3 to be a "fantastic post-apocalyptic RPG" with great writing and satisfying combat. We said as much back when the game came to PlayStation 4 back in August 2020, awarding it an 8/10 rating in the Push Square review. That tactical experience is now being expanded with an expansion named The Battle of...
Mini Review Cozy Grove (PS4) - A Relaxing Little Life Sim That's Worth Sticking With
A beary nice time
Cozy Grove is a relaxing little game in which you're tasked with helping out friendly ghosts on an abandoned island. There's a definite hint of Animal Crossing about it, but the game's generally less involved than Nintendo's life sim juggernaut. You'll spend most of your time running rather simple errands for the aforementioned...
