Perish is the offspring of DOOM and Hades – Review

Perish is basically the weird love child of DOOM Eternal and Hades, combining the intense action and heavy-metal riffs of the former with the roguelike structure and mythological storytelling of the latter. But just like real-world genetics, just because you combine the best DNA possible does not mean you’re going to end up with something better than the sum of its parts. Perish isn’t even close to being as awesome as either of its parents, but if you take it out of the shadow of those two Titans it’s a decent budget roguelike shooter in its own right.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a decent stealthy debut – Review

The debut title from Baby Robot Games, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a stealth game following Ayana, the last of the Ereban, a race capable of merging into the darkness. She’s come to Helios, a megacompany that has seemingly saved the world by finding a way to provide unlimited energy, but Ayana suspects something is amiss and that Helios might know something about what happened to the Ereban. There’s no shortage of stealth ’em ups in the indie and double-A scene though, so what does Ereban: Shadow Legacy offer?

Binbok Gemini controllers are a solid budget option for the Switch – Review

There are a lot of cheap controllers on the market these days, all vying for your attention. Very few of them are actually any good and trying to sort through the chaff to find one that’s actually good value for the money is tricky. This is why we’re going to check out Binbok Gemini, a controller from the Chinese company Binbok which promises a lot for a relatively small price tag of $39.99. How does it compare to the more expensive but reliable Nintendo Switch Pro Controller? Let’s find out.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is a Sith-show – Review

I was so excited when Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection was announced. Wrapping up the two iconic Battlefront games from the early 2000s is like wrapping up my childhood. I put countless hours into these games and always look for an excuse to replay them. Launch day came and went without me because I was busy doing something else, and to my horror when I finally sat down and checked out the online reaction, the Classic Collection was getting decimated. How did Aspyr fail so badly at what seemed like easy money? And are the original Battlefront games still worth playing in 2024?

Swarm 2 is like Spider-Man with guns – VR Review

VR can open the door to so many cool and interesting gaming experiences, and one of those was Swarm VR, an arena-based arcade shooter with an awesome way of getting around its environments. Swarm 2 VR seeks to build on that success by adding roguelike elements, a brave choice since that particular genre has arguably become over-saturated. So, is Swarm 2 VR a kickass sequel or does it need to do a few more runs to level up?

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is why double-A gaming is awesome – Review

Life to to the living. Death to the dead. That’s the motto of Red mac Raith and Antea Duarte, lovers and Banishers whose job is to deal with lingering spirits, ghosts and spectres, sometimes by force and sometimes by helping them move on. They are the Ghostbusters of their day, travelling to the fictional town of New Eden in New England to aid their friend in ridding the settlement of a supernatural force laying siege to it. In some ways, there’s a lot of Don’t Nod’s Vampyr in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. It’s a moody, atmospheric period piece that deals with murky morality and the supernatural. It’s also a better game and an excellent example of what double-A gaming can provide. Don’t sleep on Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, because it might just be one of your favourite games of the year.
