News I'm Confident This Alice in Wonderland Roguelike Was Made for Me
One of the only other November releases
Those of you who read my recent piece on Alice: Madness Returns will know I’m a little bit obsessed with the Lewis Carroll novel.

News PS5 Is Finally Getting Its Own Beyblade Game
I'm spinnin' around
Readers are free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there’s been a Beyblade game on PlayStation since the PSP.

News REYNATIS Looks Like a Scruffy But Oddly Appealing PS5, PS4 Action RPG
Shibuya spirit
We can’t, in good faith, complain about the time it takes to make PS5 and PS4 games – and then turn around and criticise REYNATIS for looking a little sloppy. Studios are spending reckless amounts of money making AAA titles these days, so perhaps it’s time we lowered our expectations and accepted some slightly scruffier releases...
News PS5, PS4 Action RPG REYNATIS Looks Hella Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts
Magic in Shibuya
It looks janky as heck in this debut trailer, but there’s certainly promise in the Shibuya-set REYNATIS.
