Mini Review The Lord of the Rings: Return To Moria (PS5) - Survival Adventure Not Worth Treasuring
And they call it a mine, a mine!
Free Range Game's hairy spelunking simulator comes hot on the heels of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, a low point of the year and a horrible adaptation of Tolkien's IP. While it isn't as abjectly awful as Daedalic's folly, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is, sadly, also a disappointment. This is a survival...

God of War Ragnarok’s hotly anticipated free DLC expansion Valhalla, due out later today, will add more Trophies to the game – although they’ll be listed separately from the campaign, so you won’t need to worry about them if you haven’t earned the Platinum just yet. Writing on Twitter, game director Mihir Sheth confirmed...
Hands On Fortnite Festival Rekindles Fond Memories of a Forgotten PSP Favourite
Unplugged
You won’t find Rock Band Unplugged at the top of many Best PSP Games lists, but the Harmonix spin-off – released during the peak of plastic peripheral popularity – was one of the finest games you could find on Sony’s handheld during its pre-PS Vita renaissance circa-2009. A stripped-back version of the main console games, this...

News Get a Crash Course in God of War Ragnarok's Free Valhalla DLC on PS5, PS4

News Metaphor: ReFantazio Combat Is a Mix of Action and Turn-Based
A bit of both
One of the most interesting things about the latest Metaphor: ReFantazio trailer is that it seems to show action and turn-based combat. Of course, Atlus is well known for its turn-based mechanics — Persona 5 being a standout example — and so it was largely assumed that Metaphor would follow suit. However, that's not quite the case...
News EA Sports WRC Season 2 Brings Central European Rally, More Moments, New Rally Pass

Review Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PS5) - A World We Don't Want to Leave
Pandora Hunting Simulator
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a game this writer has been waiting a long time for. In many ways, it is the Hogwarts Legacy for fans of big blue folk and vibrant alien worlds. But with that apt comparison and Ubisoft Massive at the helm, does it do enough to stand on its own two feet? Or is it nothing more than a pretty...

Work death balance
There are so many roguelikes and roguelites now that it's getting harder and harder to stand out, and that's something Have a Nice Death doesn't quite overcome.
