News Underhero Is a Turn-Based RPG Platformer That Turns the Genres Upside-Down
Turn the other cheek
How about this, then? Underhero is pitched as a turn-based RPG platformer… Without the, er, turns. The gameplay is a fusion of timing-based combat and side-scrolling, but you should still expect genre staples such as levelling mechanics, puzzles, and lush pixel art. “Underhero is an RPG platformer where the chosen hero has...
News Sunless Skies Will Do the Locomotion on PS4 in 2020
Pulling into the PlayStation
Like its predecessor, Sunless Skies has been cleaning up on PC with universal acclaim, and it's now confirmed to be heading to PlayStation 4. Dubbed the Sovereign Edition, this console specific release takes the gritty, narrative-driven RPG and reworks it for play on a controller. But what are you doing in Sunless...
Review Super Blood Hockey - Streets of Rage Meets Ice Hockey
Bloody H.E. Double Hockey Sticks
When it comes to hockey games on the PlayStation 4, it’s relatively slim pickings. 2K has been out of the game for quite a while now, and EA’s monopoly has resulted in each annual NHL release offering up mediocre titles that haven’t changed in a decade. Apart from that, there are a couple smaller arcade games:...
News Black Paradox Is an 80s Inspired Shmup Blasting onto PS4 Tomorrow
Bullet hell
Shoot 'em ups go way back to the early days of video game history, and while their popularity has no doubt diminished, it's always good to see them reappear every so often. Smaller teams in particular are keeping the genre afloat, and Black Paradox is the latest attempt, mixing side-scrolling bullet hell with roguelite features. Check...
News Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut Hacks and Slashes Its Way to PS Vita Next Month
The horror, the handheld horror

Fortunately, Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut is coming to PlayStation Vita, as you can see from the above trailer. This grisly puzzle game includes all the same content as...
Review Fall of Light: Darkest Edition
Keep the lights off
Developer RuneHeads is one year old, fronted by just two people, and based in Italy. Combined, these three factors make Fall of Light: Darkest Edition’s release on PS4 a surprising one thanks to the speed at which it has arrived, as well as the lack of staff on board to manage the port. Unfortunately though, after releasing to...
News Light Shed on Action RPG Fall of Light's PS4 Release Date
Shining beacon
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: your daughter is a mythical light creature who needs saving, and you’re a seasoned warrior capable of guiding her out of the darkness. It’s the premise for every emotionally charged indie game ever, but at least Fall of Light: Darkest Edition has some action role-playing chops. It’s due...

A bunch of kids have set up camp upon an old burial ground, making for your typical spooky story setting.

Review Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition
Too close to home
Three Fourths Home is one of the most unique and special games that you can find on the PlayStation 4. The text-driven visual short story is one about family, about disability, and about a girl trying to find her way. It's not a time-sink by any means, but it is a title worth your attention. You'll play as Kelly Meyers, a...
