I absolute adore branding in video games. It’s one of the main reasons why I rate the WipEout series as high as I do. I think I felt something close to love …

Again with the Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5). A pleasant and welcome surprise is Takemura’s quest line. After spending a lot of time of the filler-quests, I poured some …

The Eye in Citizen Sleeper (SD) has more or less become my second home. No really, at one point I got the opportunity to build a little place for myself in the …

An impromptu Friday-evening barbecue session was topped off with a bout of multiplayer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (PS5) on Gnarly …

Last week there was EVO in the air, so I gravitated towards an old friend: The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition (PS4, SD). Apparently, my old …

It's good to be back. When Axiom Verge 2 (PS5, SD) released last year, I felt it got unfairly ignored because it had less of a Contra-vibe compared to the …

I went and completed Axiom Verge 2 (PS5, SD) within 5 hours and apparently that's an accomplishment of sorts. Didn't expect a second set of trophies as well, …

The grind is strong in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (NSW). I’m kind of zoning out of the story; just hovering up loot and quest logs is pretty much …

The summer vibes are strong in Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation -The Endless Seven-Day Journey- (NSW). Just the opening itself and the …

“Sunsoft is back, baby!” The announcement trailer was rather enthusiastic, but to be honest, I am pretty giddy about it. Not only is the new Sunsoft bringing …

To celebrate the multiplatform release of No More Heroes III, I booted up the original No More Heroes (NSW) remaster. This one hits differently these days. …

It suffered a break of a few months, but I completed my playthrough of Citizen Sleeper (SD) over the weekend. This is still one amazing game and looking back …

More than 10 years ago, a colleague of mine notified me of a metroidvania being in development. It was a solo project and people were getting pretty excited …

At Local Heroes we worked on the localisation of Tactics Ogre: Reborn (PS5) quite some time ago, to the point that we thought the game had been cancelled. But …

What it says on the tin. It's not foolproof, but then again, there is so much stupid stuff going on in this franchise, that it doesn't really matter.

In a strange twist of reverse gamification (applying games to real-world problems), here's obsessive optimisation game Factorio being used as a replacement for …

Dutch indie game collective Sokpop has a new game out: Springblades. Which is best described as an absurdist Paper Mario-like. It's also rather good; if you …

"By tempting young players with the potential-to-win game-changing items, encouraging risk-taking behaviour for a possible reward, delivering random prizes on …

Elsewhere in the Night is bathing gloriously in its '80s adventure game vibes. Looking forward to this releasing later this week on December 6. It'll be a …

I haven't been playing games much in the past few weeks. I've been mostly reading a lot and listening to podcasts. That said, listening to podcasts usually …

Likewise, Karen’s already itching to call the manager.

MineCity 2000 is a program that converts SimCity 2000 cities into Minecraft (Java Edition) worlds.
